EXCLUSIVE

SPIRITED AWAY

SOUL | Pixar’s latest concerns itself with life, death, purpose and all that jazz…

Conduct a survey to find the finest Pixar movie of the last decade, and chances are that Inside Out - a look at the competing emotions of a little girl – will come out on top. Well, it’d better do, or Anger, Disgust and Sadness will have something to say about it. So it is with great Joy that Teasers notes that Pixar’s 23rd feature, Soul, appears to be something of a companion piece.

“Uh, maybe thematically, but it’s pretty different design-wise,” and now co-directs with Kemp Powers, who is making his directorial debut after impressing with his scripts for five episodes of and the upcoming Civil Rights drama . “We were definitely conscious of the similarities at the beginning, and actually tried to push against that, because one thing we’re not so fond of doing is repeating ourselves. But I do feel like was the film that prepared me for this one because it was so complex, and there was so much that really stretched my brain.”
