Directed and co-written by Pete Docter, and also co-directed and co-written by Kemp PowersSoul tells the story of Joe (Jamie Foxx), a middle school music teacher who dreams of being a professional jazz musician. A twist of fate cuts Joe's dreams short and sends him to "The Great Before," where he meets 22 (Tina Fey), an ephemeral soul form with no desire to go to Earth and live out a human life. Together, Joe and 22 go on an adventure that will change each character's outlook on what it means to be alive.

Soul will be released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital on Tuesday, March 23. This means you have four new ways to enjoy this Pixar feature in addition to watching it on Disney+. Now, you may be wondering, "Why the heck would I watch Soul anywhere other than Disney+?" This is a fair question! Currently, you can stream Soul on the Disney streaming platform and even enjoy some bonus features, including interviews with the jazz musicians who consulted on Soul and a segment following the process behind creating Joe and crafting his story.
