Disney / Pixar just released a sneak peek of the upcoming movie Soul and I'm even more excited for this movie than before!  In the movie, we meet Joe, a middle school music teacher who has always had a dream of playing in the best jazz club in town.  But before he knows it, Joe is now in The Great Before and has to figure out how to make his way back to the living.

Disney / Pixar's Soul Sneak Peek

"Spend your precious hours doing what will bring out the real you." ~ Joe

In the sneak peek below, Joe gives us an idea of what we can expect from what promises to be another great Pixar film.  Disney and Pixar always team up to deliver movies that appeal to kids while also delivering big life messages.  I can already tell that like in other Pixar films, I'm going to need to back my tissues.  Music certainly serves as a soundtrack for all of our lives - especially for our main character Joe.  The teacher in me also connects with him.  Teachers are constantly giving of themselves to their students and it sounds like in this sneak peek Joe is teaching some pretty big life lessons - and I have a feeling he is going to learn some along the way.

Soul was originally set to release this summer but has been pushed once already.  Right now, Soul is scheduled to release in theaters Nov. 20th, but I'll keep you posted if there are any updates as many movies this year are seeing release dates pushed due to coronavirus.  Here's hoping we get to see this during this upcoming holiday season!  

Update 10/8/20 - Disney announced today that Soul will be releasing directly to Disney+ on December 25th!

Enjoy the sneak peek of Disney / Pixar's Soul!

About Soul (From Disney / Pixar Studios)

What is it that makes you...YOU? This November, Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new feature film “Soul” introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – 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 (voice of Tina Fey), 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. Directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter (“Inside Out,” “Up”), co-directed by Kemp Powers (“One Night in Miami”) and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray, p.g.a. (Pixar short “Lou”), Disney and Pixar’s “Soul” opens in U.S. theaters on November 20, 2020.   Facebook: http://facebook.com/pixarsoul/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/pixarsoul Instagram: http://instagram.com/pixarsoul/ Hashtag: #PixarSoul
