Soul [SteelBook] [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [Only @ Best Buy] [2020]

Oh this movie is so ethereal! Amazing soundtrack from the other world and overall the story is touching and great representation of black diversity. I didn’t mind it being on Disney +. I wanted a physical version of the movie in the unique Steelbook edition! Excellent collectible!

Good movie! Disney always produces good movies, and this one is no exception. Their animated films, like this one, always look stunning in 4K.

An original and insightful look into the afterlife (and origin) without mixing religion or any particular theology. It's a wholesome and welcome story about life, about what makes us who we are and how even the most mundane of moments can inspire if you open your eyes. As always Pixar does a stellar job, balancing story, humor, and heart into one beautiful symphony. And having said that, I cannot skip mentioning the music. As a musician myself (and a New Orleans native/jazz lover), the soundtrack is just amazing. The notes hit the emotional points so well, highlighting moments in subtle keys. While it's technically classified as a children's movie, adults should not overlook it. It takes on a rather heavy subject of life and death, giving a measured insight and providing an ending that isn't the princess/sunshine/rainbows fairy tale that so many animated stories do, instead showing that those little moments can mean just as much. I feel given the subject and story that this is aimed for more matured youth, above the princess and castles to the younger of younger adult (as well as actual adults). Overall, I loved this film. Beautifully rendered, beautifully composed, beautifully executed, and a beautiful message. Well done.

Pixar keeps mixing it up, presenting very mature and abstract concepts and ideas and presenting it in a well made presentation. Inside Out comes to mind as well. Soul really is a good film, but the film gets very dark in some of the areas due to the storyline, with the main character literally hovering between life and death in a struggle to simply live now that that major turn has happened. The jokes and light nature of some elements will keep the kids entertained, while the entire movie will appeal to the parents. If you're watching with little kids, expect to have some conversations. This movie is well worth a second and third watching as it packs a LOT, too much to properly digest in one go.

Soul is a movie about an uncelebrated musician who wants to be more. He finds himself with an opportunity to get into the big times, however, fate steps in and he is soon finding himself in the “after life” in which he wants to get back to his life. But first, he must not only figure out the meaning of life but help another wayward sole to find it for themselves. Definitely not Biblical but it is a very nice movie. Watch it with the children but you might want to be ready for some questions you are not prepared to answer.

This is an absolute gorgeous movie to watch, visually. On an OLED TV it's simply stunning. The visual and audio quality here are second to none. The Dolby Vision really makes this movie pop off of the screen. Pixar seems to cover so many topics that others may not be able to make work, and do them with class, and this one is no different. A bit more geared towards the older people though, not nearly as much of a kids movie as some of their bigger movies have been. But it's a wonderful story, brilliantly told, with visuals that are among the best Pixar has ever done. And the discs here certainly do it all justice.

First impressions of this movie were very negative but then I watched it a second time and was completely blown away...what had I missed the first time? The story of a man looking for fame and losing his life, then helping a lost soul find theirs' is a powerful statement. How many times have we missed the opportunity to help someone find themselves because we are so self-centered? As a parent there is was a clear message. There may be some things that you question from a spiritual perspective and have to explain to your child but don't let that cause you to miss the message...some of us are looking for the Ocean! When you see the movie you will understand!
