Soul Review | Pixar’s Philosophical Masterpiece 

The animation was amazing, the story was emotional, and they roasted the Knicks quite the masterpiece

After A Year of Mediocrity 2020 Has Been Satisfyingly Wrapped Up With Soul

2020 was a terrible year. We lost countless of people because of Covid, we lost countless of celebrities, police brutality, riots, and Netflix sexualizing 11 year old girls. Hopefully 2021 will be better.

I was completed disappointed that it skip in theaters. I hate Covid-19. Because the movie looks amazing for a theatrical reason maybe if the pandemic ends next year well maybe Disney will re-released it again next year for theaters once again.

If this is the film that'll break the animation stigma, there's a chance that it'll might win or at least get nominated for best picture.

When I saw the score, I was waiting for 'TEN OUTTA TEN'. Surprised we didn't get that.

I would describe Soul as a stylistic animated thanks to it’s theme with Jazz and realism. I really love how the plot tells a message about how you should go with your life, and it’s unique of the processes of what souls do. I also love the beautiful animation, the characters are lovable, and I do love the comedy especially with 22. I am disappointed that this is only on VOD because of Covid because the movie would look even better when you watch it on the big screen.

If this is meant to be the last movie Pete Docter gets to direct then man did he closed the book with a masterpiece.

I am seriously curious as to how the Jerrys were Animated

The Story 8/10 The Animation 10/10 The Characters 8/10 Overall 9/10 Amazing

Pete Doctor has done it again. As a musician and a black man, I can really identify with this movie and this gave me a whole new meaning to life and my purpose.

I was expecting a goofy comedy that lightly explores some interesting philosophical idea and a tear inducing moment at the end. We got none of that and I'm very glad. The best Pixar movie in over a decade

Such a great message and feeling to end this year on! It’s a shame that this movie had to skip theaters. I hope that once this pandemic is over, it can get a big screen rerelease, even if it is only a brief one!

It sucks that we didn't get it in theaters. Damn you, covid!

Story: 9/10 Animation: 10/10 Characters: 8/10 9/10 Soul has oustanding animation, an excellent craft story and amazing characters standing as One of Pixar's most philosophical movies they've ever made

Soul is definitely my favorite movie of the year.

As I said on my Twitter review, this is a film we NEEDED in 2020 and NEEDED IT BADLY!! Also, insert AniMat’s ten out of ten jingle. Where was it? Regardless, Soul has finally outranked some of the previous Pixar films and cracked my top 3 Pixar movies list. I NEED A 4K Blu Ray of this!!

This film as a whole was a perfect *masterpiece* from Pixar. 10/10 from me, minus the body swap part (I thought 22 *AND Joe* would be in Joe’s soul instead of 22 in Joe’s soul and Joe in Mr. Mittens’ soul), but other than that, *MASTERPIECE!*

I bet Joe and Miguel would make an excellent music duo.

Fun fact: *Squidward has no soul*

Yea I think this is the best film to end 2020 on. It's message is beautiful and inspires us to just keep on living the way we want to. Appreciate the small things in life

This is right up there with some of Pixar's best films! I absolutely loved how they delved into the philosophies of life while also creating a beautiful world with the Great Before/Beyond. Also, the human designs are some of the best that Pixar has ever made, due to their unique shapes and proportions. Even the music is delightful and comforting, and in some cases wondrous. Happy New Year btw!

This is the first ANIMAT’S REVIEWS video that I’ve watched in years! I think this is a good one to see

Where's the "DeN OuTTA dEn!" At the end?

I was greatly impressed and surprised by how incredible Soul was. It felt like a trip and it had a great message of how to not let the little things in life pass you by.

So, you aren’t going to play the 10/10 noise anymore

This movie is Very emotional, I’m glad there are more reviews like this.

Me when Soul doesn't have the people wearing masks in public: (　☉д⊙)

This was a beautiful movie! I did not expect to be so moved by it and I was pleasantly surprised. The animation, the message, comedy, etc. 10/10!! It was so mature, yet so lighthearted.

The Story (10/10) The Animation (10/10) The Characters (9/10) I Give Soul (10/10) Amazing Brilliant Masterpiece

I guess we all know what he’ll put as the number 1 best animated film of 2020

This movie is proof that anything Pete Docter directs is guaranteed to be great

Hey I remember in his video of ten best animated features of the 2010 decade last year around this time shots from the trailer of this film were shown.

Great review of Pixar’s Soul. This is a really good movie and it’s one of the best looking movies of 2020 and it’s neck to neck with Pixar’s Onward as the best movies of 2020. I might watch this movie alongside Pixar’s Onward, the same way I watched The Good Dinosaur alongside Inside Out on 2015 and with Coco and Cars 3 on 2017. It’s 2015 and 2017 all over again but in 2020. 2015: Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur 2017: Cars 3 and Coco 2020: Onward and Soul Really Ironic and quite interesting.

Now this is what I call a perfect Christmas gift from Pixar!

"I am the coming together of all quantized fields of the universe. Appearing in a form your feeble human brain can comprehend. You can call me Jerry."

"In new York City" *Suggestions-The Secret Life of pets* Me: 🤣

I can’t wait to watch this film on Disney+. It’ll be the perfect movie to begin the new year with.

after the year we've had we all need a movie like this

HAPPY NEW YEAR Matt!

Best animated film of 2020

Who else thinks it’s better than Inside Out?

I watched this movie with my family before we opened our Christmas Presents, and I highly recommend it!

Now this is the movie we needed to end 2020 with a happy face

Happy New Year and good job thanks

This movie... I think the world needed this movie...

I really love this movie so much and I hope there’s more Pixar film in the future to begin

It may have been a rough year but at least it can end on its best note possible for animation!

Soul got to have its shot at theaters and I went to see it to support Pixar.

I just finished this movie last night, and dayum, what an amazing ride. This movie is existential and asks difficult questions, yet doesn’t necessarily give a cut and dry answer to them. It feels more real and grounded than almost any other animated movie I’ve seen, and that along with its beautiful animation and memorable characters definitely put it in my top 5 Pixar films, and maybe even top 3. So as crappy as year as it’s been, we’ve at least got one great thing to come from it.👌🏽

Now this movie is sure to be number 1 in the top 5 animated films of 2020.

Overall Score for Soul: Story: 10/10 Animation: 10/10 Characters: 10/10 Voice Acting: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Overall: 10/10 A legendary though provoking emotional masterpiece from the legendary Pixar Animation Studios! Love it!

The BEST movie of 2020. I now enjoy my life even more thanks to this film and will live it well

Someone oil those hinges on the door)

Good Review Man!

Only seal of approval of the year

I absolutely adored this movie. It really connected with me.

Soul certainly was my anticipated movie of 2020 (either that or Jordan Peele’s Candyman which sadly got pushed back) and it did not disappoint

I’ve seen this film today. And let me tell you, it truly was phenomenal.

Excellent review. Now the only other movie I want to hear you review is Wolfwalkers

This Movie Is The Best Movie In 2020 Happy New Year Eva ElectricDragon505 🥳

My review: Story: 10/10 Animation: 10/10 Charters: 8/10 What I think of: 9/10

I love this movie and my favorite part movie when Joe and 22 has been swap bodies and the ending made me crying

Soul actually reminded me of the book I released in October 2020, One for the Road by Jeremy M Moore.

All I needed to know if the movie lived up to the hype. Thank you.

I got an ad for Soul before I watched this.

I am wondering if this will be AniMat’s new favorite movie.

I Hope this movie gets nominated for best picture

Funny enough, this movie is one of the RU-vid ads I got before this video started.

This movie is the best thing to come out of 2020 sense February

When I first watched the video, I got two ads before it started. The first was some random 6-second ad that I don't remember. The second was an ad for Soul. Coincidence? I think not!

One good thing about 2020 is that it gave us 2 original movies!

This is definitely the 2nd best Pixar film, only behind Wall-E.

This movie made me cry

We should base the points of each one and do that..... 1.Soul- *29/30* 2.Onward- *21/30* 3.The Croods 2: A New Age- *18/30* 3.The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run- *18/30* 4.Trolls World Tour- *17/30* 5.Scoob!- *16/30*

To all who want to see this in theaters, the place I work for is touring Pixar in 2023, and I am going to try to get them to put this (and Onward) back in theaters then! Your welcome!

I am so glad AniMat didn’t criticise the story and animation.

Well, Disney didn't quite have an animated film in 2020 to release on Thanksgiving after Frozen 2, but at least after Coco, they learned from their mistakes with Pixar. I understand this film was technically released on Christmas Day, and with no short because Disney Plus, but it's the closest we'll get to a Pixar film being released on a holiday.

Story: 10/10 Aniamation: 10/10 Characters: 9/10 Score: 10/10 (Masterpice)

12:08 What happened to the scream he made as soon it appeared the 10/10 moment?

Alright Finally something good this year! Compare to the other films we had over on 2020, this has finally became a year of films that are all good and not something completely terrible. In other words,There's No seal of Garbage on anything this year!

The final review of 2020

The irony is that Doug Walker already reviewed this movie as the series finale for his Disneycember of 2020.

First and only seal of approval of 2020

Would I recommend this? Ab-SOUL-utely!

The only problem i had with this movie was how it was pretty confusing for the first 15-25 minutes

Pixar princess and the frog. At least for me anyways. African American lead wants a dream, becomes an animal, has to get his body back before a certain time.

Disney Pixar Soul have story, animation, and characters gets a 10/10

11:57 In a Fresh New Year!

great review, good way to end this year even if 2020 was trash overall

Behold! The *ONLY* 2020 film to get the *AniMat’s Seal of Approval!!!*

Cinderella (1997 fan actresses to play the roles of Cinderella, her Fairy Godmother, and one this one had some African-American characters alsoNorwood, Houston, and Desselle-Reid were the first African-American actresses to play the roles of Cinderella, her Fairy Godmother, and one .

Soul story 9/10 Animation 10/10 Characters 10/10 Movie 10/10

My gosh this film is the film of the year.

Soul is better than Onward

A great movie to end off 2020

Soul is now in my top 10 animated films replacing Lego movie

I loved this movie! It almost made me cry, and it was a lot better than I expected! I agree with your rating!

While I do love Soul, I actually feel like Onward is such an underrated movie. It’s honestly sad that almost no one even fully gave it a chance because after some of The Walt Disney Company’s certain projects such as Ralph Breaks The Internet, Frozen 2, Captain Marvel, Rise of Skywalker, Mulan (2020), etc. a lot of people were saying things like “None of Disney’s upcoming projects will be good anymore, and that’s a fact!”

And Pete Doctor has done it again!
