Pixar Animation Studios’ SOUL will debut exclusively on Disney+ on December 25, 2020.
In international markets where Disney+ isn’t currently or soon to be available, SOUL will be released theatrically, with dates to be announced.
ALL THAT JAZZ – In Pixar Animation Studios’ upcoming feature film “Soul,” Joe Gardner is a middle-school band teacher whose life hasn’t quite gone the way he expected. His true passion is playing jazz, and he’s good. But when he finds himself in another realm helping someone else find their passion, he discovers what it truly means to have soul. Jamie Foxx lends his voice to Joe.

“The world can be an exhausting and frustrating place—but it’s also full of unexpected joys, even in seemingly mundane things,” said Docter, director of SOUL and Chief Creative Officer of Pixar Animation Studios. “SOUL investigates what’s really important in our lives, a question we’re all asking these days. I hope it will bring some humor and fun to people at a time when everyone can surely use that.”
Previously scheduled for theatrical release on November 20, 2020, SOUL was named an official selection of the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year along with multiple upcoming festivals including the British Film Institute’s London Film Festival this Sunday.
In Disney and Pixar’s “Soul,” Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) is a middle-school band teacher whose true passion is playing jazz. When he gets lost in his music, he goes into “the zone,” an immersive state that causes the rest of the world to literally melt away. Globally renowned musician Jon Batiste will be writing original jazz music for the film, and Oscar®-winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”), from Nine Inch Nails, will compose an original score that will drift between the real and soul worlds. © 2020 Disney/Pixar.
