If you have seen Soul, the Disney Pixar film that was released directly in streaming last Christmas and winner of two Golden Globes, do you know how much Joe Gardner, the music teacher with the dream of making it as a jazz player, has struggled to regain his body and resume his life there it had stopped. What you have not seen, however, is Joe’s attempt to penetrate his dreams, represented as bubbles that float from the Earth up to the Anti-World, to have a privileged access to his physical form thanks to the complicity of 22, a precocious soul who never understood the charm of the human experience.
The scene, that we show you a preview above, is one of the sequences eliminated from the film in extra contents of Blu-Ray and DVD of Soul, enriched by commentary from co-writer Mike Jones.
Directed by Academy Award winner Pete Docter (Inside Out, Up), co-directed by Kemp Powers (That night in Miami …) and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray, Soul he managed to conquer everyone thanks to the depth of the plot, the inclusion of its protagonists and, above all, to a theme as delicate and not easily tackled as life after death and the deeper meaning of human existence. This extraordinary journey to discover the dreams and weaknesses of each of us, already awarded at the Golden Globe as Best Film and Best Original Score for the music composed by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste, sails full sail also towards the Oscar, where he will almost certainly take home the statuette for Best Animated Film having the better of another Disney title, Onward.
Blu-Ray and DVD will be able to tell us something more about the making of the film thanks to the audio commentary by Pete Docter, Kemp Powers and Dana Murray and to little gems like Not just any Joe, which delves into the process that accompanied the creation of Joe and his story, and Astral candy, a closer look at the technical innovations used to recreate the settings and characters from the world of Soul. In the Bonus Disc included in the Blu-Ray Steelbook edition there will also be the deleted scenes that we have not seen in the film, a focus on the music and the sound of Soul (to embellish the Italian version was the internationally renowned composer and pianist Stefano Bollani, author and performer of the original piece Villa Incognito present in the credits) and a reflection by the Pixar Systems team that tells how it managed to finish the film in time during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
