Pixar Soul | New Trailer Promises It Will Be Another Emotional Ride

March 12, 2020 By Ashley 1 Comment

Pixar Soul's new trailer promises it will be another emotional ride from the studio known to tug at heartstrings. I am predicting it is going to be Coco/Inside Out level deep with the same amount of tissues needed. This quote alone “Is all this living really worth dying for?” is enough to start the tears over here.Pixar Soul

Pixar Soul New Trailer 

Joe Gardner is a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22, who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.

The fact that this trailer begins with a very Inside Out feel is indication enough we are about to get deep into our emotions…again. Instead of going to heaven, Joe's Soul runs away, saying he isn't done (with life) and manages to fight his way to the great before. And that is where the bulk of the film presumably takes place.

Unlike Inside Out that showed how our emotions develop over time, this film is going to focus on how our soul forms it's uniqueness prior to getting to Earth and our bodies. Phew, that's profound. I'm curious to see how Pixar will go about diving into this subject matter, making it accessible to both children and adults. 

In true Pixar form though, there are lighthearted moments to balance the heavy. My favorite scene from the trailer showed Joe discussing the merits of pizza and then realizing he can't eat, smell, or digest. Cue the fruitcake going through Olaf effect and you have lots of giggles.

Featuring the voices of Jamie Foxx, Tina Fey, Phylicia Rashad, Angela Bassett, Ahmir Questlove Thompson, Daveed Diggs, “Soul” is directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter (“Inside Out,” “Up”), co-directed by Kemp Powers (“One Night in Miami”) and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray (Pixar short “Lou”).

Globally renowned musician Jon Batiste will be writing original jazz music for the film, and Oscar®-winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”), from Nine Inch Nails, will compose an original score that will drift between the real and soul worlds.

    […] Soul tells the story of Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx), a middle school band teacher who dreams of becoming a professional jazz player much to the exasperation of his mother Libba (Phylicia Rashad). Who needs job security and benefits anyways? After a chance to audition to play with renowned saxophone player Dorothea Williams (Angela Bassett) thanks to former student Curly (Questlove), it seems like Joe is finally going to get to realize his dream. He takes off though the streets of New York not paying any attention to the world around him, lost in his thoughts about how his life finally has meaning.  […]

I’m always looking for fun pieces to add to our collection. If you’re an artist or have some faves let me know! Who knows maybe I’ll slip away to visit or at least have a friend pick some pieces up for me!  #disneycreators #spaceshipearth #epcotball #experimentalprototypecommunityoftomorrow #disneyepcot #epcotcenter #DailyDisney  #Disneygrammer #DisneyParks #InstaDisney #DisneyAddict #DisneyDay #IGers_WDW #DisneyLove #Disneynerd #disneyobsessed #disneyaccount #disneylifestylers

“This is a new day. A new beginning.” - Ahsoka “This is a new day. A new beginning.” - Ahsoka Tano  2020 has been a year. And I won’t lie and say it’s been easy but we decided early on to try and find the positive. The light amidst  the darkness.  While I know that Jan 1st isn’t going to magically fix things, I do look forward to 2021 in hopes that everyone comes together, does what needs to be done, so that by the end of it we will have some semblance of balance in the force.  I don’t do New Years resolutions but I do plan on continuing to look for the light, be the good, and help others to as well. Just like my girl Ahsoka Tano. 🧡💙  #tanotuesday #ahsokatano #ahsokalives #heruniverse #batuuesday #starwarsgalaxysedge #disneydesignercollection  #ahsokaforever #starwarsgirls
