“SOUL” Pixar’s new movie for the 2020 holiday season
Once you open this door and enter this new arena where past, future,and between lives becomes the new ordinary, the mass media seems to reflect this source material. Is Pixar, the studio that brought you Toy Story, Us, and Wall-E, using their advanced animation processes to explore Between Lives? Here’s a description of the new Pixar movie, SOUL:
Director Pete Docter’s new movie imagines a plane of existence called The Great Before, in which our personalities are determined before we’re ever sent to Earth to be born. A plane of existence in which every soul must find its spark of particular interest with the help of lofty mentors like Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa and Muhammad Ali before it can take corporeal form and fulfill its destiny. And, should that destiny remain unfulfilled, it is destined to wander an Astral Plane as a lost soul, checked out from a dull, uninspiring life.*
They had me at “The Great Before!” The movie, which would have been the big theatrical release of the 2020 holiday season, will now premiere on the Disney+ streaming platform on 12/25. Review to follow.
