Synopsis

Joe Gardner is a middle school band 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 before he dies and before his enemy Paul attempts to steal Joe's dream from him.

Trivia

• This is the fifth Disney+ film that was originally intended as a theatrical release, after Artemis Fowl, Magic Camp, The One and Only Ivan and Mulan.
• This will be the first Pixar film to have an African-American as the leading character as opposed to a supporting/secondary role for their previous films.
• Pete Docter's first Pixar movie to be produced in the 2.39:1 "scope" aspect ratio, unlike his previous films Monsters, Inc. (2001), Up (2009), and Inside Out (2015), which were produced in the taller 1.85:1 ratio.
• This will be the third time that Pixar releases a second film in the same year, after 2015's Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur and 2017's Cars 3 and Coco.
• This will be the first film to have Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross compose music for a Pixar film while this will be the second film to be a musical with Jon Batiste providing the songs, the first being Coco.
  • Thus, it is also the third Pixar film to have it music score composed by two composers after The Good Dinosaur and Onward (both of which are composed by Mychael Danna and Jeff Danna).
• This is the first Pixar film that Pete Docter directed where Michael Giacchino doesn't do the score since 2001's Monsters, Inc., which was done by Randy Newman.
• This is Pete Docter's first film to be produced in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio, as his previous films were in the 1.85:1 ratio.
• Tina Fey collaborated with Amy Poehler, who voiced Joy in Inside Out, which was also directed by Pete Docter.
• The Chinese take-out box that appeared on the stock marker's desk is the same one that appeared in previous Pixar films like A Bug's Life, Ratatouille, and Inside Out.
• A broccoli pizza from Inside Out appeared among the pizzas when Joe tries to show 22 the joys of life.
• Coincidentally this is Pixar's 23rd feature and, according to Pete Docter, the story was born out of the fact that even his now 23-year-old son had personality even as a baby.
• On Season 29 of Dancing with the Stars, rapper Nelly and his pro dance partner, Daniella Karagach, danced to the song "It's All Right" from Soul for that season's Disney-themed night. This was on September 28, 2020, three months before Soul was released.
• This is the first full-length Pixar film to not be released in theaters, but is instead to be released exclusively on Disney+.
• Pixar's first film to be released on Disney+, not counting Onward, as that was eleased in theaters, but still headed to Disney+ a few weeks after its theatrical run.
• Pixar's first feature-film to release in December.
