Pixar has revealed more information about a new original movie, Soul. The animated film was announced in June 2019, with Pete Docter (Up, Inside Out) set to direct. The original nebulous plot description read:

Ever wonder where your passion, your dreams and your interests come from? What is it that makes you … you? Soul takes you on a journey from the streets of New York City to the cosmic realms to discover the answers to life’s most important questions.

Doctor, who attended Disney’s D23 Expo, offered a few more details on the plot. “Who would make a cartoon about metaphysics?”

The main character is Joe Gardner, a middle school band director with a love of jazz. He dreams of playing at the Half Note, New York’s prestigious jazz club. Then, after 20 years of trying, he gets his wish. In a trailer, we see him emerge from a subway and rehearse on the piano at the club. When he nabs the gig, he’s beaming, and walking back down the city street ... where he falls down a manhole and dies. His soul separates from his body and goes to the great beyond.

The film revolves around You Seminar, a otherworldly location where souls are trained with quirks, abilities, and interests. “All the things that make you, you,” Doctor said at the presentation. Once ready, the souls graduate from You Seminar.

Joe is of the new souls at You Seminar. There, he meets a soul named 22 who thinks Earth sucks, and has remained at You Seminar for a hundred years. His journey with 22 will “make him think about what it means to have a soul.”

The cast is one of Pixar’s first with a majority of black actors. Joe will be voiced by Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx. Phylicia Rashad voices Joe’s mother. Hamilton’s Daveed Diggs plays Joe’s nemesis Paul. Questlove will sound off in the film as a drummer named Curly. Tina Fey is set to voice 22.

Soul will have original music by Jon Batiste, as well as Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the Oscar-winning duo behind The Social Network.

Soul arrives to theaters on June 19, 2020
