Critics' reviews

"Sublime in every sense (...) This densely packed, exquisitely executed and just a teensy bit batshit film is peak Pixar"

Leslie Felperin: The Hollywood Reporter
"'Soul' is perhaps the most existentially ambitious film ever attempted by Disney and yet it pops with colorful visuals and gentle wisdom while the story clips along despite the dizzying height of the concept"

Jason Solomons: The Wrap
"One of the very best Pixar efforts in years (...) A captivating journey. Like some of the best jazz compositions, it uses a traditional framework to veer off in many unexpected directions"

Kaleem Aftab: IndieWire
"If you're up for the best animated movie of the year -- by a mile -- then watch the miracles Pixar dishes out with 'Soul'"

Peter Travers: ABC News
"Pixar’s 'Soul' will be celebrated for many things, but chief among them should be the platform it gives, in American animation, to the great art form of jazz"

David Katz: The Film Stage
"A veritable smorgasbord for the senses, vividly recapturing the joys hidden in life’s most banal moments (...) what a nourishing tonic for the current moment."

Jack King: The Playlist
"It all blends together beautifully, a marriage of Pixar’s square, safe, feel-good sensibility with what could be described as the 'real world'"

Peter Debruge: Variety
