    • 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
      It is mentioned that Dr. Björn P. Börgensson, a child psychologist, won the Nobel Prize, when there is no Nobel Prize in psychology. However, psychologists such as Daniel Kahneman have won Nobel Prizes in other fields.

      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.

    Loved it almost to tears (and I'm a big man with a beard)
    Before explaining why I liked this movie, I'd like to point out that the main idea of the movie is *NOT* that you need find your purpose to have a happy life. It's the exact opposite! I'm not saying this just to be a professor, but because it's really important and that's why I loved the film so much. You don't need to be fixated about something to find a meaning in your life. You need to savour it and learn to enjoy the little moments instead of waiting for something big to happen to reach happiness. It's so profound and refreshing. A movie just about a guy waiting for his big moment and feeling fulfilled after having reached it would have been dull, boring, trite and most of all wrong, like pretty much all "self-help" advices. Instead the opposite idea is presented and if you just pay attention to the dialogues -and the story, really- you'll understand what I mean and most importantly what you might apply to make your everyday life better. But back to the movie I've got to say I almost cried as the end was approaching as much as I was going to turn off the tv when the movie started. The whole initial setting reminded me too much of Inside Out, a film I quite disliked, so I was worried it was a copy of it (it kind of is in the beginnin). But luckily the second half steered away from it and developed in one of the most moving film I've seen in a long time. Undoubtedly one of Pixar's best.

    • 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?
