Pixar’s Soul wins Oscar for Best Animated Film

Apr 26 2021

Pixar has constantly proven to be a master at story-telling and beautifully animated masterpieces. Its most recent release ‘Soul’ has in fact been awarded an Oscar for Best Animated Film. Beating Onward (also by Pixar), Wolfwalkers, Over the Moon, and A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Armageddon, the film is an existential journey through the afterlife as aspiring jazz artist Joe Gardner tries to make his way back to the world of the living.

‘Soul’ taps into what makes Pixar unique – it’s creative concepts, its emotional and tear-jerking storytelling and, last but not least, its beautifully animated world-building. Tackling deep questions about the meaning of life and death whilst also being a kids film, this particular Pixar film also includes one of the best soundtracks in an animated film – especially for lovers of jazz!
