Yahoo News Pixar reveals cast for Soul which is basically Inside Out with souls
Pixar has revealed exciting new details about Soul, its second original animation of 2020, which seems a bit like Inside Out (not that that's a bad thing).
At the D23 Expo, producer Dana Murray, co-director and writer Kemp Powers and writer Mike Jones confirmed the voice cast, led by Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey, with the movie also featuring Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson, Phylicia Rashad and Daveed Diggs.
Soul journeys from the streets of New York City to the fantastical You Seminar, where souls learn everything and ensure babies are born with a personality.
"Each one of us was born with a soul. That soul didn't just come into the world not prepared. They were all trained at the You Seminar. Their souls are given their quirks, their abilities, their interests and some would say your passions and your dreams. It's all the things that make you, you," the creative team explained.
"Once ready, their soul graduates on to join the world and live a life of purpose. At least, that's how things are supposed to go, but in the case of Joe Gardner, there has to be a mistake. His life hasn't gone the way he expected."
Band teacher Joe Gardner (Foxx) seems like he's set for his big break, only for an accident to see him land at the You Seminar, which is filled with pavilions that give souls personality traits, such as the self-absorbed pavilion.
There, he meets fellow soul 86,783,123,522, or 22 (Fey) for short. She thinks Earth is terrible and has spent "hundreds of years" at the You Seminar. But the two must team up to help Joe find his way back to Earth.
The movie will feature original jazz music from Jon Batiste and a score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Yes, Nine Inch Nails are scoring a Pixar movie.
Soul is released on June 19, 2020.
