About

A musician who has lost his passion for music is transported out of his body and must find his way back with the help of an infant soul learning about herself. Joe is a middle-school band teacher whose life hasn't quite gone the way he expected. His true passion is jazz -- and he's good. But when he travels to another realm to help someone find their passion, he soon discovers what it means to have soul. - IMDb

Epic/Fail

Epic: The animation is incredible!! As always.. but there were so many scenes which looked so dreamy and were thought provoking, with a mix of 'real life' in the city vs the 'soul world' above. The Music is stunning and it really is a heartwarming emotional rollercoaster. It shows how life should be lived and I completely got lost in this film.

Fail: Ergh.. scraping at the barrel here.

To make it even better, an end credit scene would of been cool.

Standout performance

Jamie Foxx (Joe) + Tina Fey (22)

Highlight

The lost souls really hit a nerve and sent chills. It was such a real way of looking at how something obsessivly positive or negative can make you get lost into a depressed state of mind.

Equally the passion part showing when you get lost in yourself and glow purple was visually stunning and completly soul warming. I teared up as it was so emotional.

Overall impression

Such a perfect story of a journey of what many of us can relate to. Feeling lost, unsure of direction or getting tied down with the day to day grind and not pursuing your passion. I get chills now! I can only recommend this film to everyone, go watch it now! It might be my favourite Disney Pixar film ever... Amazing job Disney Pixar!
