Soul

Nice James! You have put in words largely what I was attempting to get across in fits and starts above, though without blowing spoilers ("wait, he’s dead!? Huh, it’s all a dream!?) or saying too much before too many people have seen it.

I loved New York and the voices too, for their natural feel, particularly Foxx as Floyd Norman — anyone else not think he was based on him, especially given the hat!?

[Randall]

Floyd!

I thought he looked familiar.

[James]

Just remembered the cowboy dance everybody hated from the trailer... they cut it from the final film.

[Farerb]

That was a good idea.

[EricJ]

Think that was just a trailer gag, like Mike & Sulley making a wrong turn at Mongolia, or Mater saying "I done killed a baby bumblebee!"
Didn't help my expectations for this movie, though...

[Farerb]

When I really think about it this might be my favorite Pete Docter film.

[Farerb]

I see that people say it's going to be released on 4K\Blu-ray in April, nothing official though. Hopefully it's true.

[Ben]

Yeah...I think Docter has mentioned he can’t wait for people to be able to check it out in 4K on disc. There wasn’t a date, but if Disney stick to the basic release patterns then late March or April sounds about right. Cool!

[Farerb]

Soul will be released on 4K\Blu-ray on March 23rd:

After those great posters, what boring artwork!

[Daniel]

I was expecting the piano keys art.

[Ben]

Xactly. There’s a steelbook variant, but it uses the one with Joe very small at the top of the key "stairs". I prefer the D+ version which is the same background but him in closeup with the other characters sitting on the title logo's L. Made for disc art!

[Randall]

I know why, but too bad this never got a 3D version done.

I got that Steelbook version ordered right away!

Looks like Soul got nominated for 2 Golden Globes: Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score. What do you guys think? I thought it would make it to the Best Movie Comedy like other animated features have done in the past (although I liked Onward better)

[Ben]

I think you just answered your own point...
