Soul (2020) is one of the best feel good films of 2020, it is funny, uplifting, made for adults and children too although they may miss the existential and metaphysical aspects on the first viewing.
"Why do I exist? What’s the point of being alive? What comes after?" The film answers all these questions.
Joe Gardner is a jazz musician living in Manhattan and reluctantly has to mentor "22", a new Soul. Their misadventures are hilarious, thought provoking and non-stop. The Manhattan streetscapes are expertly rendered and lighted as only Pixar can do, action is everywhere. And it has a happy ending, not like
Bambi.
Animation and lighting is state-of-the-art
Music by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste is flawless.
Jon Batiste talks with Lara Downes where he talks about his role as a musician, consultant and composer in 'Soul'

Not to be missed and the perfect reason (besides "The Mandalorian"; season 2 was the best ever) to finally get Disney+
