Soul 2020
Pixar is dipping its toes into the quantized fields of the universe, the great unknown, but this time adding colorful philosophy inside life and death's sometimes uncomfortable purpose. An existential cookie not easy to swallow or sell, especially when parading examples of souls stuck in never-ending cerebral loops, back-and-forth overthinking and obsessing about empty pursuits.
