Soul

Movie · 2020

Soul is a Pixar film about a jazz musician who falls down a manhole and must navigate the afterlife to return to his life on Earth. The story is warm and inventive, but its central theme of death, the meaning of life, and what happens after we die makes it one of Pixar's most philosophically grown-up films.

Best enjoyed with school-age kids (around 6+) who can handle big feelings and follow an abstract story, and really shines as a conversation-starter for older children and adults.

Scary imagery~0:45:00Mild

Joe and 22 encounter a large Lost Soul in the Astral Plane that chases them briefly; it has a dark shape, tentacle-like limbs, and a loud, eerie voice before being restrained and calmed by Moonwind's crew.

Loss & grief~0:05:00Moderate

Joe falls down a manhole and his body is shown hospitalized; the scene establishes the film's premise around death and is non-graphic but sudden.

Language~0:30:00Mild

Child soul characters repeat the word 'hell' many times in a row in a single comedic scene; used in its literal sense but may prompt imitation in young children.
