Trivia

The only person to have ever encountered Terry was Paul, when she accidentally grabbed him instead of Joe. See more »

Goofs

It makes no sense for Joe to stay outside the bathroom while 22 is taking a shower in his body, since neither would mind the nudity. This was done purely for the sake of the audience. See more »

Another Pixar's classic
25 December 2020 | by nigel-arifinSee all my reviews

It's another Pixar's classic, Pete Docter is able to bring another Pixar's classic on to the table. This movie reaches a standard of what Pixar's movie should be, and it definitely will win 2021 best animated features Oscar.

Personally, I like that Soul has constant comedy bit from beginning till the end. Big props to all animators and artists working on this project, the character designs are very unique and I've never seen New York city so alive and as detailed as in this movie.
