Joe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful audition at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.

Biggest Swing

The film jumps from its lowest point during the initial afterlife sequences to soaring emotional highs when 22 discovers life's simple pleasures

Soul maintains consistently strong audience appreciation throughout, with reviewers praising its deep themes, beautiful animation, and emotional resonance. The film peaks during its philosophical revelations about purpose and meaning, with only minor dips during some of the more abstract afterlife sequences.
