A soulful masterpiece, so what do I say about this film, it’s a film about life and being appreciative of the things you have no matter how small, it tackles life in such a unique and beautiful way that I was left wanting to make my life more meaningful after this film, it isn’t just a masterpiece it’s an experience about what makes life worth living and being happy that your alive, Pixar have once again smashed it out the park.

The best of Disney+ original Pixar films! It is a very charming movie that teaches you very important message about how you don’t have to do great things to live a good life. That is actually a very powerful message and quite possibly the best message in movie history ever! Congratulations Pixar!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊

Time Out

If anything, Soul is guilty of over-ambition. The wizardry and wit are there, but it lacks Pixar’s usual deftness in making complex themes sing for youngsters.

What follows is an absolute delight. It will make any viewer cherish the life they have and want to live it more fully, every single day, ideally with lots of laughs along the way.

While it's true that some themes such as "the meaning of life" could be inaccessible to younger viewers, Soul is also understood and works on a more basic level. [Full review in Spanish]

Some luminous musical numbers, the protagonist's transformation, and the visualization of concepts such as lost souls, or “no-body” lift a movie that finds its driving force in the reiteration of ideas... [Full review in Spanish]
