Since 1979, back when it was known as the Graphics Group, Pixar has been known for its unique stories and storytelling. Whether big name movies like Toy Story, Brave, Cars, or its early shorts, there is heart and soul in every single movie they put out.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in Disney/Pixar’s latest movie, Soul.

Soul tells the story of Joe (Jamie Foxx), a music teacher hoping for his big break. Music is his passion and all he thinks about. When an unexpected audition with jazz performer Dorothea (Angela Bassett) lands him a dream gig, everything appears to fall into place. Until Joe accidentally falls into a manhole…and into the great beyond.

Not about to go into the light, Joe finds a way out and finds himself in The Great Before, a place where souls are sent to find out who they are. Souls are assigned personalities and a mentor to help them get their spark. Once a soul finds its spark, it’s given an earth badge and sent to earth to inhabit a body.

22 (Tiny Fey) is a soul who’s been mentored by several famous people from Abraham Lincoln to Carl Jung and she has no intention of leaving The Great Before. When Joe is assigned her mentor, the two strike up a deal: once 22 finds her spark, she’ll give her earth badge to Joe and he can return to earth. But as so often happens, things go awry, with the two accidentally going back together and ending up in different bodies. As Joe races to his gig, he starts to see the world through 22’s eyes and realizes there’s been something missing in his life the entire time.

Abstract concepts are always hard to describe let alone animate. Luckily Pixar is no stranger to this, having touched on the abstract concept of emotions in the 2015 movie Inside Out. Soul follows this tradition and does it well: The Great Beyond is a black conveyor belt leading into a field of stars; The Great Before a sort of daycare center run by entities named Gerry, who, as one of them explains, are metaphysical concepts illustrated in simplified terms so our human brains can handle it without exploding.

Along with the abstract concept of souls, the movie also touches on themes of life and death; how we choose to live our lives versus how we spend it; what our purpose is and what it really means to live. Joe has spent his entire life dreaming of becoming a jazz musician. But when that dream is finally in his grasp, he realizes there’s more to life than just having an obsession. It’s the people you meet along the way, the lives you change, living everyday with joy and seeing life from a new perspective. As Joe says “your box isn’t filled in when you find your purpose; it’s filled in when you’re ready to live.”
