Pixar's “Soul" Teaser Has Arrived
This seems way more like what we've grown to expect from Pixar than the upcoming Onward. I say that mainly because I'm definitely more intrigued by the contents of this Soul teaser than any & everything I've seen out of Onward. This feels like it has all the emotion & soul if you will, of previous Pixar films. While the comedy seems like it's there, it by no means seemed to be the only intent. Even in just this teaser I see something that I feel like we’ll be talking about for years. The synopsis that came with the trailer was deep. Directed by two-time Academy Award®-winner Pete Docter, & co-directed by Kemp Powers with Academy Award®-nominee Dana Murray producing, Soul opens in theaters on June 19, 2020. According to Docter, “It started with my son—he’s 23 now—but the instant he was born, he already had a personality,” says Docter. “Where did that come from? I thought your personality developed through your interaction with the world. And yet, it was pretty clear that we’re all born with a very unique, specific sense of who we are.” Soul introduces Joe Gardner, a middle-school band teacher whose true passion is playing jazz. “I think Joe is having that crisis that all artists have,” says Powers. “He’s increasingly feeling like his lifelong dream of being a jazz musician is not going to pan out and he’s asking himself ‘Why am I here? What am I meant to be doing?’ Joe personifies those questions.” The synopsis went on , “In the film, just when Joe (Jamie Foxx) thinks his dream might be in reach, a single unexpected step sends him to a fantastical place where he’s is forced to think again about what it truly means to have soul. That’s where he meets and ultimately teams up with 22 (Tina Fey), a soul who doesn’t think life on Earth is all it’s cracked up to be.” This sounds fabulous! Great talent, & a story that will undoubtedly come with some amazing music, heart, & soul. What did y'all think of this amazing teaser trailer? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
