Disney-Pixar has released a new poster and trailer for its upcoming animated feature Soul which features the voice talents of Jamie Foxx as Joe, a middle-school teacher and jazz musician who finds himself taken to a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities; check them out here…
Joe Gardner is a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22, who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.
Soul features a voice cast that also includes Tina Fey, Phylicia Rashad, Ahmir Questlove Thompson, and Daveed Diggs.
It is set for release on June 19th.
