    • Trivia
      Animators used footage of several music performers, including jazz composer Jon Batiste, performing as reference for the film's musical sequences. By capturing MIDI data from the sessions, animators were able to retrace the exact key being played on the piano with each note and create the performances authentically.
    • Goofs
      (at around 37 mins) When Joe gets into the cat soul they wonder what happened to its actual soul. It is then showed that the cat's soul is on its way to the beyond, implying the cat died. When Joe gets his body back the cat is seen alive and well (at around 1h 12 mins), which makes no sense since the cat is dead. However, cats have nine lives.
    • Quotes

      Dorothea: What's wrong, Teach?

      Joe: It's just I've been waiting on this day for... my entire life. I thought I'd feel different.

      Dorothea: [beat] I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to this older fish and says, "I'm trying to find this thing they call the ocean." "The ocean?" says the older fish. "That's what you're in right now." "This?" says the young fish. "This is water. What I want is the ocean."

      [Joe just stares, bewildered]

      Dorothea: See you tomorrow.

    Moved Me To Tears
    I can't put into words how close to home this movie hit for me. Not to sound pretentious, but it's more than a movie - it's a life lesson on how to live. It'll teach you that life isn't about careers, goals, passions, or achievements. It's about living, right here in this moment, exactly where you are.

    The voice acting, animation, soundtrack, writing - all phenomenal. It is officially the greatest Pixar movie ever created in my book. Kids will enjoy it, but this one is for the older crowd. It's for anyone who's ever felt like their life has been a waste. That they've made too many mistakes, that they should have done something else, that it's too late to live. 10/10

    FAQ9

    • When will they release this film on DVD?
    • Is Joe really the first person to ever reject being dead?
    • What do the lost souls mean by "Make a trade", which they spookily repeat over and over again?
