Soul [DVD]

Soul was one of the most penetrating movies that I have ever seen. Underneath all the animated figures, it tackled so many big issues such as: What are we doing with the one life that we have been given? Are we living a life of passion and purpose or are we just merely existing on the planet until our clocks run out? And most prominently for me, are we too busy looking for this next, newest, greatest, brightest, shiniest, thing that we are too busy to see both the everyday joys of the life we have and the impact we are having on other people’s lives right now? That’s an awful lot to pack into ninety minutes.Even more impressive they were able to do all this without losing all of the lightheartedness that Disney-Pixar movies should be about in my view. The story of Joe and 22 just sucks you in to the point where you are rooting for 22 to finally make it to Earth and that just maybe Joe will get a second chance and you become terrified that he won’t. Soul was one of those movie experiences that stays with the viewer after they’ve watched it, which is rare in a universe where so many movies are in and out of our consciousness within a few hours or days. I think the kids will love Joe and 22 and the adults in the audience will have to do some major life examination.Soul is the perfect example of what a movie could/should be in that it’s highly entertaining yet leaves space for a deeper meaningful conversation.

Great movie

Loved it.

Love this movie. Great animation and a lot of heart in this story.

It was packaged haphazardly but it's a good product

I'm a huge fan of Jon Batiste, so it was sheer joy to hear him play the piano (as the artist behind the character Joe Gardner) and hear his compositions. But, this is one of the cleverest, most fascinating, funny contemplations about what happens after we die (the 'great beyond'), what happens before we're born (the 'great before'), and reckoning the life we lead in between. Sheer joy from the Pixar logo opening to the short rap at the very end of the credits.

Not sure on how to explain this movie, I think it will touch your soul as well with a little humor...ah...where do we go after Earth?, I have no intension in going there yet being a one way trip and no one came back to tell me what's it all about. Nevertheless, I'm happy to have it in my collection.

SOUL dvd this is a great dvd
