Review of Soul

Soul (2020)
9/10
Pixar Does it Again
16 February 2021
Soul is one of the better Pixar films. It attempts to be deep and philosophical for a kid's film and they didn't do half a bad job at it. If you think jazz is a bad genre of music you will hate... and I mean hate the entire movie because despite only having 9 minutes of music video piano. It doesn't change the fact the entire soundtrack is jazz so stay away and don't review bomb if you hate the genre go watch any other Pixar films you haven't seen yet. Personally I'm not a fan of jazz but I don't hate it either. I'm neutral and I gotta say the jazz didn't bother me because the story was quite enjoyable. You go from point a to b in the escalator to the great beyond and the great before. It was spiritual without being overt. It does not definitely say yes or no so don't be alarmed if you are religious like me. The animation was clean and the most realistic yet from Pixar in the New York area since the Good Dinosaur. The simplistic afterlife place is simple but entertaining. The movie was hilarious, fun, sad and has purpose. It was a very good time and Pixar has done it again. Although don't get your hopes up this is nowhere near as good as The Incredibles, Toy Story and Wall E but it's in the upper half. By Pixar terms the film is maybe A- but by regular standards it's definitely an A.
