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.

Whelan Barzey

Time Out

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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

Spotlight on Film

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.

O filme nos lembra que a beleza da vida está nos pequenos momentos – nas conexões, nas sensações e nas experiências diárias. A vida é muito mais do que simplesmente cumprir um objetivo – é sobre experimentar, aprender e crescer, independentemente de onde isso nos leva.

Soul is gorgeously animated and provokes deep contemplation but fails to capture the greatness of other Pixar films.

Inspirant ! Un film magnifique, à la fois pour le jeune public et le moins jeune. A la fois comique et utopique Une film qui fait réfléchir sur vivre l'instant présent, profiter d'une feuille qui tombe, du vent sur notre visage, de belles et simples choses de la vie

Definitely one of the most beautiful cartoons ever. It showed me and my mom what could happen after death, and it was so interesting. I am really interested about stuff like this so this was worth watching! Tears were shed.
