Disney describe the movie like this:

What makes…YOU? The brand new feature film from Pixar Animation Studios, SOUL, introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a high school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But a small misstep takes him from the streets of New York to The Great Before—a fantastical place where new souls learn their personalities, quirks, and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to get back into his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voiced by Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s good in life, he may just find the answers to some of life’s most important questions. Directed by Oscar® winner Pete Docter (“Inside Out,” “Up”), co-directed by Kemp Powers (“One Night in Miami”), written by Kemp Powers and Mike Jones and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray ( Pixar short “Lou”), SOUL also features the voice talents of Phylicia Rashad, Questlove and Daveed Diggs. Featuring original jazz music by world-renowned musician Jon Batiste, Academy Award®-winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”) from Nine Inch Nails composed an original score that drifts between the real and the spirit worlds.

“Soul” is currently streaming on Disney+.
