The story line in Soul was very poignant (yes, I cried too)---they really did their research. Lots of tropes and details that musicians will understand and artists too. Also, the quality of illuminated light in some of those city scenes was just incredible, sort of an animated Film Noir feeling---but without the existential moodiness of 1940s Film Noir. Soul has a subtle, sophisticated use of color that really gave those late afternoon or early morning city scenes a rich warmth--almost like we were traveling through a fond memory. It's got everything--quality in the storyline and dialogue and outstanding animated character development and also outstanding artistic composition in the background artwork.
I was honestly SHOCKED when Soul was not nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture. Disney's Beauty and the Beast was nominated for Best Picture a few decades ago, but I feel Soul far surpasses that film in maturity of medium and content of storyline.
Stroman, It's $6.00 a month for Disney here where we are. There's not much on there. Hamilton, and Soul and some Star Wars stuff. You could subscribe for a month and then drop it. Just an idea.
