Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPixar chose to portray the film's main character as a musician, because they wanted a "profession the audience could root for," and settled for a musician after trying for a scientist, which "[didn't feel] so naturally pure as a musician's life." Pete Docter described Soul as "an exploration of: Where should your focus be? What are the things that, at the end of the day, are really going to be the important things that you look back on and go, 'I spent a worthy amount of my limited time on Earth worrying or focused on that'?"
- GoofsIt is mentioned that Dr. Björn P. Börgensson, a child psychologist, won the Nobel Prize, when there is no Nobel Prize in psychology. However, psychologists such as Daniel Kahneman have won Nobel Prizes in other fields.
- Quotes
Dorothea: What's wrong, Teach?
Joe: It's just I've been waiting on this day for... my entire life. I thought I'd feel different.
Dorothea: [beat] I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to this older fish and says, "I'm trying to find this thing they call the ocean." "The ocean?" says the older fish. "That's what you're in right now." "This?" says the young fish. "This is water. What I want is the ocean."
[Joe just stares, bewildered]
Dorothea: See you tomorrow.
- Crazy creditsThere is a dedication in the closing credits: "Dedicated to all the mentors in our lives."
- Alternate versionsThe movie's Disney+ release adds the Disney+ Original logo at the beginning.
- ConnectionsFeatured in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: Trolls: Infinity Strings (2019)
This is a lovely story about a grown man discovering his true gifts in life and it left a big smile on my face. A very sweet and inventive film that will hopefully leave most of us adults with something to think about when the credits role.
