Pixar's Soul

[JohnC]

Coming on 19 June 2020. About a middle-school jazz teacher, Joe, who dies and goes to the You Seminar, a place where souls are made into individuals. (?) Then as a soul, goes on a cosmic adventure to get back to Earth.

Let it not be said that Pixar are afraid to try new concepts.

So it's about a lost soul trying to get back to Earth? That's...the same idea as almost every Pixar film, just with different characters. 

[Nick R]

I trust him; he's a Docter.

[Fierce Poodle]

Not this old chestnut again!

The last time I watched a movie about a wandering soul, it ended in a cosmic reincarnation sex scene viewed from the inside. So, here's hoping.

Well, it wasn't Inside Out.

Pete Docter films are totally my favourite. He's the Chief Creative Officer for the whole of Pixar these days. 

[Harsin]

At a certain point we're going to have to rename Dreamworks face to Pixar face.

Fucking Pixar. Presumably they hate the cleaners who empty their bins. "Not creative enough". Commoners doing normal jobs are beneath them. Lazy gags about grey cubicle office workers made by Wankers sitting at grey office cubicles.

Fuck knows if this is going to be released on time now, but here's a new trailer anyway

Pix Arsehole.

Skipping cinema and going to Disney+ on Christmas Day. Unlike Mulan, it doesn't cost extra either. Noice.

 

Still going to cinemas in countries without D+.

Nice one for an Xmas day watch with the kids then. Assuming it's good.

Assuming this is for US consumers only, and anyone else can wait for a random date in March? Or actually released worldwide? Would be a first for a Pixar film, I'd usually import the US DVD or Blu-ray just as the same film opened in the UK...

It appears to be anywhere Disney+ is available at that time.

Boxing Day for us in Australia 

[ckny]

 

This Facebook post makes it seem like it’s available on Christmas Day, and Christmas Day only...

[JohnC]

No, it's just American for it only being on Disney+, not that it's only on 25 Dec.

Looks fucking shit. Like inside out and coco.

Make sure you don't bother going for a Covid test. They won't find anything inside you.

[sid]

Inside out is terrible. The first 20 mins is classic Pixar, absolutely brilliant. But then just turns into utter balls, characters running around chasing the thing for the rest of the film.

 

if it had concentrated on the moody teenager struggling through life, 5-6 classic behaviours and scenarios, and how the numbskulls deal with it, and how they individually overcome stuff and go on same journey.....it would have been possibly the best Pixar film.

 

but it was just utter shit instead. Total missed opportunity 

[LeighCb]

Funny because I thought it was about kids dealing with depression.

[LeighCb]

I was lucky enough to see this yesterday. It's a really beautiful film.

 

No story spoilers but I'll hide them just incase- 

 

Spoiler

 

Its quite an abstract concept, so I'm not sure how much it will appeal to young kids. 

 

The main themes explore the things that do and don't matter in life. And when things seem desperate and meaningless it can be the little things that can get you by. It really stuck with me afterwards and I'm looking forward to seeing it again. I hope everyone enjoys sobbing their eyes out on Christmas day.
