Pixar film with a big heart

Joe Gardner (pictured, far right) is a gifted jazz pianist who never got the breaks, until one day he is presented with the chance to play with a celebrated saxophonist. He promptly falls down a manhole and eventually finds himself in the Great Before – where souls live before they are joined with their human body. Joe is determined to get back to his own body so he can do the gig that has long been his dream, but he ends up making the leap with Soul 22, who has never been able to see the point of life on Earth. This beautifully animated, big-hearted Pixar film owes a lot to Powell and Pressburger’s 1946 film A Matter Of Life And Death and stars the voices of Jamie Foxx, Tina Fey and – get this – Graham Norton.
