Soul

Soul is a 2020 American computer-animated comedy-drama film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is directed by Pete Docter, co-directed by Kemp Powers (in his feature directorial debut), and produced by Dana Murray, with a screenplay written by Docter, Powers, and Mike Jones. It follows a pianist, Joe Gardner, who is involved in an accident before his big break as a jazz musician and seeks to reunite his separated soul and body. This was the first Pixar film to feature a Black lead.

Soul premiered at the London Film Festival on October 11, 2020, and was scheduled to be theatrically released on June 19 and November 20. However, the feature was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Soul was released direct-to-streaming on Disney+ on December 25, 2020, and in theaters in countries without the streaming service.

In early December 2023, it was announced that the film will see a theatrical release in the United States and globally on January 2, 2024, alongside the streaming-only releases Luca and Turning Red.
