Soul is the type of movie you would expect from an independent animation studio. It’s more about the philosophical journey than a traditional narrative. The story itself is somewhat weak with pacing issues but makes up for it with strong themes. The standard Pixar high quality animations and voice acting is on full display here. There are also a lot of laughs here but it’s all over the place tonally combining the usual Pixar light quippy jokes with very dark humour and smart existential humour. I enjoyed the ride but this is not for children or even some adults. 8.5/10.
