Disney and Pixar’s new animated film Soul is premiering on Disney+ on Christmas Day (December 25)!
The movie was originally supposed to premiere in theaters earlier in 2020, but was moved to the streaming service for the Christmas holiday back in October.
Soul follows Joe Gardner – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth.
Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22, who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.
Who stars in the film? Well, Jamie Foxx takes on the lead role of Joe Gardner, while Tina Fey voices the character 22.

A new trailer for Disney/Pixar’s upcoming movie Soul has been unveiled!
The new movie stars Jamie Foxx in the lead role of Joe Gardner, a middle-school band teacher with a serious passion for jazz music.
In Soul, Joe is on the brink of getting his big break playing for a jazz quartet. But he finds himself on an unexpected detour from the streets of New York City to The Great Before, tasked with helping new soul 22 (Tina Fey) find her spark to earn her way to Earth.
Jamie recently opened up about how he related to his character.
“Like Joe, I hear music in everything,” he said. “When you’re a jazz artist, man, you talk a little different: ‘Hey, cat!’ I got a chance to go to a few jazz fests and meet Herbie Hancock, Chick Correa—hang out with those guys. They have a way of talking, a way of dressing—everything funnels toward their music, toward the jazz.”
