Soul puts spirit into finding the meaning of life
What is it that makes you...YOU?
Pixar Animation Studios attempts to shed a little light on that very subject in its feature film Soul, now out on DVD and Blu-Ray (from £9.99).
In the animation, Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx) is 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 (Tina Fey), 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 himself.
Heart-warming and soul-affirming, it even features a cameo from TV and radio favourite Graham Norton.
