Soul

I didn’t quite know what to expect when walking into Soul, but I sure am glad I went in for the ride. Soul was a hell of a trip. It had a fairly good mix of comedy for children and adults, along with that lump in your throat that Pixar has perfectly curated after movies such as Coco and Inside Out. The Knicks joke was especially funny, as were the historical cameos. The only real issue I had with Soul is that the first part of the movie following the journey into the manhole, felt like it tried to add too much too fast, and I feel like could’ve done better. But that’s just nitpicking as this was a fantastic movie and was surprisingly more adventurous and adult compared to most Pixar movies. I really think it’s awesome that Pixar is catering to the adult audience while still making the films able to be enjoyed by the whole family. The themes present in this film can be a lesson to everyone as we all tend to get so wrapped up in stuff sometimes that we don’t appreciate the world for what it is, and each individual moment that is by itself precious. Also the barbershop scene was awesome and I think Dez was my favorite character.
