Pixar's Soul is headed to theaters for the first time in the U.S. this weekend after debuting on Disney+ in 2020. Soul is one of three pandemic-era movies Pixar is releasing theatrically for the first time in 2024 — the other two being Turning Red and Luca. IGN's Soul review, published alongside its Disney+ release, said the movie "offers food for thought and has heart, [but] it’s never quite as funny, engrossing, or emotionally rewarding as Pixar’s best."

What Is Soul About?
Soul is an orignal film from Pixar Animation Studios. Here's the official synopsis from Disney:
What is it that makes you...YOU? Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new feature film SOUL introduces Joe Gardner – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22, who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.
