Soul is an upcoming American 3D computer animated sci-fi fantasy adventure film produced by Pixar set to be released on June 19, 2020. The film will be directed by Pete Docter and produced by Dana Murray.

Synopsis
Joe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful gig at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.

According to Disney Television Animation News' Twitter, ''#Soul envisions a world where souls are trained prior to becoming part of babies - which is why they immediately have personalities from birth. The story centers on a music teacher named Joe, who dreams at playing at a prestigious jazz club, and finally gets his chance''.
