Critics Consensus

A film as beautiful to contemplate as it is to behold, Soul proves Pixar's power to deliver outstanding all-ages entertainment remains undimmed.

If anything, Soul is guilty of over-ambition. The wizardry and wit are there, but it lacks Pixar’s usual deftness in making complex themes sing for youngsters.

What follows is an absolute delight. It will make any viewer cherish the life they have and want to live it more fully, every single day, ideally with lots of laughs along the way.

It shortchanges itself at every turn by overextending itself.

4/5

It is a little scattergun in its approach, and the ontology may be a bit much for kids, but even they will relate to its message about appreciating life’s smaller pleasures, which this year feels like a good one.

A hectic, but wonderful celebration of life, and a moving animated ode to New York City’s jazz scene.

The studio’s first feature to frontline black characters is a stunning work of animation, with an important message to kids and adults alike.

You Have Found Your Soul. "Soul" is a weird but creative movie - as creative as "Inside Out" - about your sound moving into the Great Before when you still want to be alive. Just interesting to see things as your Soul once you die, like Joe did & you would never have wanted to die like him because your life has potential when you are free & have a job. It may be similar to Pixar's "Onward" when wanting to have one more shot with a life but it does not last & there is a situation. The situation here is when Joe & 22 are in the wrong bodies of himself & Mr Mittens the cat. BTW, it is also funny & that is why I can like these sorts of (Pixar) movies. I also see meanings of sacrifications, which I loved seeing was Joe being fine for his life being over & his soul starts a new life & give 22 a chance to live. I enjoy moments of scarification.
