Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 430,845 views on Saturday, 26 December 2020 our article of the day is Soul (2020 film).
Soul is a 2020 American computer-animated fantasy comedy-drama film produced by Pixar Animation Studios. Directed by Pete Docter and co-directed by Kemp Powers, the film stars the voices of Jamie Foxx, Tina Fey, Questlove, Phylicia Rashad, Daveed Diggs, Richard Ayoade, and Angela Bassett. The story follows a middle school music teacher named Joe Gardner, who seeks to reunite his soul and his body after they are accidentally separated, just before his big break as a jazz musician.
Docter began developing the film in 2016, working from his contemplations on the origins of human personalities and the concept of determinism. He co-wrote the screenplay with Mike Jones and Powers. The film's producers consulted various jazz musicians including Herbie Hancock and Terri Lyne Carrington, and animated its musical sequences using the sessions of musician Jon Batiste (who created original compositions for the film) as reference. Soul is the first Pixar film to feature an African-American protagonist.
Soul premiered at the London Film Festival on October 11, 2020. Originally intended to be a theatrical release, the film was digitally released on Disney+ on December 25, 2020. It received highly positive reviews from critics, with praise for its animation, story, voice acting, and music.
