"Soul" is the latest animated film from Disney's Pixar, and it's skipping theaters and heading straight to Disney Plus where more than 60 million subscribers can watch. In this jazz-inspired film, Jamie Foxx lends his voice to Joe Gardner, a middle school band director who has an out-of-body experience on the eve of the biggest performance of his life.
"Soul" is a musical in the spirit of Disney's most iconic animated films, with Foxx performing alongside top talents like "Hamilton" star Daveed Diggs, musician Cody Chesnutt, and drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of The Roots. Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad, Academy Award nominee Angela Bassett, and Emmy Award winner Tina Fey also star in supporting roles.
