Disney Pixar's Soul - Normies Group Reaction 

Pixar movies are never kids movies. They're family movies. Movies you can enjoy with kids and adults in the room.

The title "Soul" only shows up at the end because that's when Joe's story begins

Joe: “I’ll go with you” 22: “But Joe, you can’t” Joe: “Then I’ll go as far as I can” Me: 😭

I think the point of the ocean story is that the fish isn’t trying to find the literal ocean, since they already live in it. It’s trying to fulfill the idea of what it thinks the ocean SHOULD be. And that’s what Joe is doing. He already a jazz player since he performs with Dorothea Williams, but in his mind he imagines it being some incredible life where he travels, has huge audiences, and makes a ton of money. So now he realizes that life and dreams are what you make of them.

As a young adult graduating college at the end of this year, this movie made me absolutely sob from how real it hit me. The pressure of finding your 'purpose' in life and following your goals, not to forget to just live, gosh this movie hit me hard!!

This movie hit me like a ton of bricks. The timing of its release couldn’t be more perfect and it spoke to me on so many levels. Loved the reaction guys!!

It’s crazy that 22 won’t remember any of that

Anyone concerned about Mr. Mittens...the director said he’s okay because he has 9 lives 😂

I was watching this with my 8 year old, by the end she was like, what happened to 22? Where is 22? What if I’m 22??

I haven’t really been suicidal before, but I’ve never watched a movie that made me want to live so much. Inside out made me sob but Soul made me cry harder than inside out for a reason I can’t understand.

I feel like that this movie hit so many people ESPECIALLY young adults stuck on how to figure out their purpose in life. This movie really opened my eyes on appreciating everything and everyone ! This pandemic doesn’t make it any better. It makes u feel stuck. Like ur wasting ur life . Or not doing enough. This movie really helped me understand more that accomplishments doesn’t always revolve on successful career or knowing what ur purpose is. Family, friends , goals like waking up to see another day.

I absolutely adore the idea that Moonwind and the other hippies are able to enter the Zone, but without any shown risk of becoming lost souls. One could interpret that as meditation being great for getting you into the flow, but without being obsessed with any one thing that it becomes self destructive.

Yeah. That whole fish scene really hit me. Life doesn't begin by doing something, one thing. Life is always happening to you.

Who else wasn’t expecting this

To me, Soul wasn't the funniest or most emotional Pixar film, but what really stood out was its central message; as a college student who is still very unsure about my purpose it really impacted me in a way that I don't think I've ever felt before with a movie. Like after I finished watching it I sat on my couch for a good 5 minutes thinking about my life lol also i'm pretty sure Rana was fucking zooted

If you noticed in the beginning it says Pixar presents... and then the movie starts with no title screen. The title Soul only appears at the end because thats when youre put back in your life and hopefully start appreciating life more

i think it's good he didn't die. Joe had so much more to live for. So many lives he could still impact. I guess you could say that's his spark.

They creators made a creative choice to not us a specific religion so they wouldn’t alienate other religions. I think that was a great choice because the world is full of many religions.

Little known fact: They didn't show the movie title until the very end because that was Joe's beginning.

"that's just regular old living" == "this isn't the ocean, this is just water"

i really liked that they gave joe a second chance bc it gave him his second chance to not just spend his life chasing a purpose, but to actually just live. that part made me bawl like a baby lol

If you guys never saw "Coco" I recommend reacting to it.

This movie taught me about how up until this point ive lived my life 100mph, and during this pandemic ive been able to sit back and reflect on my life and I've realised I need to slow down and enjoy the little things along the way.

21:35 The Jerry said they should stop sending so many people through the “self-absorbed” thing. They’ve been making too many people self-absorbed lately.

Y'all would be surprised to see how smart kids actually are. Or see how much they understand.

That philosophical conversation they had after the movie was over makes me really want to see them react to The Good Place now.

"I don't know if a kid would be able to handle this" Which is why Disney/Pixar don't make most things strictly for kids. Like Walt Disney said: "You're dead if you aim strictly for children."

The moral that I got out of this movie, "The Point & Purpose of Life IS Living." Joe spent his whole time chasing his purpose & never got to live. Then, Jerry tells him that humans are silly for having this concept of a purpose. Then you got 22's comment on skywatching/walking, and Joe says that's not a purpose that's just living, but that's what got 22's spark. So, it's really hitting at the point that we shouldn't get too caught up in why we're here & just enjoy the fact that we are here. Great movie, easily a top 10

My 4 and 7 year olds love Soul...kids watch and will watch these movies dozens of times...imagine how much they will really absorb and be better for it over time...my 4 year old request to watch this movie daily and she just about has all the dialogue down...don't under estimate the planting of seeds or how latent wisdom is pulled out from children through these experiences...

Just wanted to say, my 9 year old Sister loved this movie. Even if she didn't get every reference, the message is clear to everyone. Saying this can't be a "Kids Movie" is a disservice to kids imo

6:30 Kids are stronger than we think. My 8 year old son and I watched this together and he loves the movie. Its a good way to talk about finding passion in life and how to appreciate it.

Mannnn, this movie was gorgeous, not just visually. It was so rich emotionally and the story was absolutely hard-hitting. Pixar's best work in a good while

One thing that hit me the hardest is that so many people live like this, thinking about tomorrow, always always waiting for that one thing, and that's why they're unhappy, bcs for most of us there is no grand purpose, the purpose of life is just to live. Life is about the little things, and the people in it, that make it all worth it. Like Ging (HxH) said "enjoy the little detours, because that's where you will find that which is more important than what you want."

I will say that as someone who is turning 20 in a few days, I have an existential crisis like every two weeks. When you're living through historic events on a daily basis but you're also expected to go to lectures and turn in assignments, it all feels meaningless. This movie hit me so HARD. It was just such a powerful reminder that nothing is meaningless and that I still have so much to be thankful for.

I wish there was an after credits scene when he’s older and she walks in as a student in his music class.

My now favorite Pixar movie. It's so deep, emotional and hilarious at the same time. It's hard to describe.

The hair animations are crazy good in this movie

I thought the ending was very beautiful, he gave away his life to save another, and so he was rewarded a second chance. makes you consider what would be the perks of saving a life yourself.

Coco needs to be your next reaction. I can't believe you guys haven't seen that yet.

I'm 12, and I watched this with my 10 and 9-year-old brothers. We do everything together which includes watching movies, they handled it surprisingly well, and honestly were blown away by the message of the movie, it's a great movie with a great message. They understood everything and loved it! This movie is just, stunning! The animation to the script etc.

I realized about the scene when it showed the spinning leaf. When it's mature and is able to live and grow into a tree, it falls down, like how Joe says the 'spark' is only available if the soul is ready to live.

I like how the title wasn't shown until the end, marking the "start" of Joe's story/life.

Fun fact: the actor who voiced terry also voiced the grandmother in moana

"I dont know if a kid would be able to handle it" They will and kids always have

The message and the spiritualism in this movie hit me so hard and I’ve never agreed with, cried bc of, and related to a movie more 😭😭😭 Also fun fact: the lady who played terry was moana’s grandmother

Just watched this movie today! What a beautiful story with an amazing message! I just graduated college last spring & working full time now, but was still trying to figure out my purpose.. I definitely needed to see this film. ❤️ Great reaction!

Jon Batiste does not get enough credit for how CRAZY he played and composed some of the music for this movie

Yes the cozy 4 reacting to Soul. Glad I didn't go to sleep

This story was a lesson on the importance of gratitude.

You all need to react to Coco next. It's a travesty none of you have seen it yet.

It was an awesome movie!! So glad you all reacted to it! Also really nerded out when I found Wes Studi was in this movie!! That guy is awesome! I love how they highlighted the moment when you become obsessed with something it could hurt you spiritually. And how when you appreciate what you have around you. Even just breathing. Practice appreciating all around you and then you can help others see what you see.

I think of the lost souls as a part of being in the zone but when you become so obsessed with that one thing you become untouched with life and passion turns unto obsessions thats why i think joe was a lost soul before the movie

It's the cozy 4! , I was not expecting that they would react to Soul! Thank you!!!

I watched this movie before I made a decision to dropped out of college this spring semester so I can focus on my mental health. Even if I don’t know my future right now, all I know is that every little moment in my life right now impacts as much as the big accomplishments in my life. Thank you God for those moments. :)

9:45 that's actually such a good catch about Jesus lmao never even gave that line a second thought.

i feel like rana really believes she had an out-of-body experience

This movie's message is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen

Watched this on Christmas day with my family. Was not expecting this to hit me as hard as it did. The whole sequence of Joe remembering his life, and the music carries the scene. Pure beauty. And what a beautiful meaning ❤ I like to see it made you ad emotional as me.

My favorite part is when Jerry distracts Terry at the end when the count is off. Glad they found it funny too.

this movie is literally The Good Place, the jerrys are the janets, 22 is eleanor, the way that all of heaven, and the afterlife etc is administrated like an office

Oh gosh I love that you guys reacted to this. I felt this movie SO HARD.

This movie surprised me on how great it was. Great message, great visuals, great story. I really hope they make a sequel or something.

I just love how they pan out each time to something bigger to show how truly small we all are. That part made me cry so damn hard. This movie is unreal

I love this groups reactions, like specifically these people

Two things 1. How fucking high was Rana in this video?!. 2. The editing to get as much of the movie in as possible was phenomenal

Disney/Pixar consistently proves that multi-layered stories can be enjoyed by kids and adults on different levels... and, perhaps, even more-so over time.

Normies: Watch Soul Me: (Palpatine voice)“A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.”

This was a great reaction and commentary, It made me want to rewatch Soul all over again

Coco, Inside Out, and Soul marked the high water mark for Pixar when they had an amazing 5 years in the 2010s. They had been in a 6 year drought before then, and we've been in a 3 year drought since then...

Suraj so engrossed in film, tries to close prosecco bottle using orange juice lid 😂

every time.. i cry everytime i watch the last part of the movie. So beautiful yet simple

Instantly became my favorite Pixar movie when I watched it

The last Pixar movie released was an original: Onward

This was one of the best animations I've watched recently

We appreciate you guys!! I hope that if any of you ever feel down, you just come and look at these comments and remember that this channel is some peoples saving grace and personally when I’m feeling down I like to watch you guys to cheer me up which I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking

So at 10:39 Rana grabs something off Suraj's face and eats it... thank you editor for that gem! 🤣🤣🤣

_Soul_ was truly a Disney Christmas gift at the end of a diabolical year. *Every moment was mesmerizing, entertaining and thought provoking.*

I just finished watching this and immediately came here to see y’all react. This movie...man I don’t know how to describe it. I’m someone that’s felt...just horrible for the last five years. Almost like I was dead. Just so anxious, and sad, and not worth it. I can’t exactly explain what it was about Soul but I think this is the first time in a long time that I’m smiling and meaning it. I feel like I’m taking my first breath of air after years of being underwater. I can’t stop smiling and feeling and just living right now. Thanks for the reaction as always yall. :)

I sobbed watching a chopped up reaction...this movie would wreck me if I saw the full thing lol

So glad to see this!! Really enjoyed your reaction/discussion as always💕

I went into this movie thinking it would be so-so at best...then it punched me right in my heart and made me ball 😭.

New subscriber! I really like the dynamic you all have. The two on the end are the observant and more quiet ones who give the more in depth reviews at the end while the two in the middle are the chatty ones who keep us interested and entertained.

Love it! Y’all’s reactions get me through life!

I have a feeling that the more I watch this one, the deeper it will resonate with me.

From outside it might look like you're just looking at tv. But from your own pov youre experiencing art.

Rewatching the first scene, as a New York City public school student, I'm struck by how much detail they put in. Even the way the sound of his voice sounds exactly like one of those basement rooms. I'm simply amazed.

Little did everyone know that terry was on their glass of wine the whole time 39:29

Well this is a welcome surprise to my Saturday

You guys should definitely react to the show “The Good Place”...tackles morality in a light hearted way but also thought-provoking

Yeah, I clicked on this for the discussion because I already knew how great the movie is. You guys are awesome.

42:27 you’d be surprised! Some people always find SOMETHING to be angry at if they feel that something threatens their beliefs or values

Glad you guys did this reaction, I loved it

You guys should watch A Silent Voice!

Y’all should definitely do this more often, I really enjoyed watching this with y’all. Definitely more Pixar’s movies are in order here!!☺️☺️

The last line of the movie is so inspiring

"Soul" really spoke to me on a very, very personal and spiritual level. I myself is a struggling musician, it was always been a dream of mine, to perform in front of an audience, to please and make people happy. Because I think music is something that brings us together. I really feel like I was in Joe's shoes, because I didn't wanna have a life that amounted to nothing. I don't want to be "regular" I refuse to live a life doing something I am not happy with. But then, there are times when I wasn't satisfied with the things I wanted. You come to enjoy them for a bit but when you're done... that's it. "Soul" really changed my view of life.

Next pixar short 22 becomes a student of joe in his music class please be a short in the making

Those faces were designed after a Picasso sketch. Doctor thought that the cubism style of Picasso (of trying to draw something from all perspectives and time) would be a good choice.

this movie hit me so hard.. I’m turning 21 in 10 days and I’m about to attend university soon but I still feel like I haven’t really found my purpose in life and still don’t know what I want to do with my life If I’m real honest with yall. I’m living with the constant fear that I might never find it and am under constant pressure knowing I only have one life to live and that it’s limited. I already regret so many things I did and didn’t do in my life so far and can only really focus on that- all the missed opportunities, all the bad decisions I made etc I thought about ending my life for a few times before over the years because I just feel so overwhelmed with all the expectations and honestly I feel like everything‘s just too much sometimes for me to handle.. like, I’m just not ready for life yet and never will be.. especially when you see all the success around you and people being so much more mature and grown than you are even tho they’re at the same stage of life than I am.. So this movie spoke directly to me in many ways

I love the ocean story. It's similar to the Buddhism's saying "Live for the moment", but it's kinda different. The ocean story is about what you've always been chasing for, or something you've always wanted may not be something that makes you happy. You thought you'd be happy or feel better than now when you can what you want. But what you don't understand is what you have right now is already making yourself happy, you just didn't realize it. It's the part where you realize that even if you don't have it, you don't need to wait for it to be truly happy. Just like Joe story, he thought being on stage with a huge crowd of audiences and be famous would make himself happier, but after the show, he said he didn't feel particularly good or anything. That's what Ms William was trying to say, Joe was already a Jazz player and no matter where he goes, he's already happy enough to be able to play Jazz. Being on stage is just something extra. It's easy to say than do. It's truly hard to actually appreciate the present when you don't know how it feels to get what you want. It may not work for anyone, because i'm sure chasing your dream to be the champion on any sports and be on the podium must feel great. But try to appreciate what you already have in life, because there are a lot of good things in life. All it takes is changing your perspective. Sorry for the long comments and bad english. Here's a foreign potato🥔.
