The first teaser trailer for
Soul is now online, and this looks like it's going to be another heart-warming hit for Pixar.
The animated adventure tells the story of a jazz musician named Joe Gardner (Foxx), who lands the gig of a lifetime before suffering a freak accident which separates his soul from his body and sends it to the "You Seminar." There, he meets Tina Fey‘s 22, a soul who can’t stand humans but agrees to help Joe on his mission across the cosmos.
The film is directed by Pixar COO Pete Docter (
Monsters Inc, Inside Out), and will also feature the voice talents of
Blindspotting‘s Daveed Diggs,
The Cosby Show‘s Phylicia Rashad, and The Roots drummer Questlove.

Soul is set to hit theaters on June 19, 2020.
Joe Gardner, a middle school music teacher, has long dreamed of performing jazz music onstage, and finally gets a chance after impressing other jazz musicians during an opening act at the Half Note Club. However, an accident causes Gardner’s soul to be separated from his body and transported to the “You Seminar”, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child, and Gardner must work with souls in training, such as 22, a soul with a dim view on life after being trapped for years at the You Seminar, in order to return to Earth before it’s too late.
