it is a great movie. It has strengths and weaknesses. Strengths are the pursuit of dreams and ambitions and that music is life, especially jazz. It also reinforces the necessity of enjoying life. Its weak point is that it contains graphics called “animation” graphics, which were more childish, but the idea of the movie in general is great and I recommend watching it.

This is a great movie, although I feel like it focuses too much on the idea of depression and dissatisfaction with what one has. As a Disney movie, the age group that will watch it will be children and it will be difficult for them to understand all the ideas. As for the positive side, the film shows the importance of patience, holding on to dreams, and maintaining passion. The love of the profession that almost cost him his life, and from this movie I learned not to give up and live happily with music

The idea of exploring the meaning of life and the purpose of our existence on this earth ,highlighting the power of music and art on human life meditating on the issue of balancing our dreams and appreciating the moments of simplicity and beauty in our lives . Some scenes that may appear as disturbing to children, especially the scene in which corpses appear , and some scenes that are not appropriate for children.

It's literally the most enjoyable film I've watched till now. The story is perfect, and it has deep meanings like how to appreciate every moment in your ordinary day and self-love. The soundtracks are amazing and contribute well to the overall charm of the animation. Even though there are some problems in some places, I would give it 9.5 out of ten, and I recommend everyone to give it a try.

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.

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.

While it's true that some themes such as "the meaning of life" could be inaccessible to younger viewers, Soul is also understood and works on a more basic level. [Full review in Spanish]

Some luminous musical numbers, the protagonist's transformation, and the visualization of concepts such as lost souls, or “no-body” lift a movie that finds its driving force in the reiteration of ideas... [Full review in Spanish]
