Originally slated for a theatrical release in June 2020, Soul was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ultimately premiered directly on Disney+ (in most countries) on December 25, 2020, where it was widely praised as an antidote to pandemic-era existential fatigue.
Key themes include:
His soul is transported to “The Great Before” (also known as the You Seminar), a realm where new souls develop their personalities, quirks, and “spark” before being assigned to human bodies. Desperate to return to Earth for his career-defining gig, Joe is mistakenly assigned as a mentor to a cynical, millennia-old unborn soul named 22, who has no interest in living.
