Honestly, I loved the movie. It struck the right chords in that it was humorous without the slapstick, emotional but not cheesy, and the animation and music were incredible.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

We watched it last night and were disappointed. My teenage daughter said it best, “Soul lacked soul”. There was no emotional connection with any of the characters. Despite being a long movie, I felt rushed through most of it. It just fell flat for our family."Friendship is the grand fundamental principle of Mormonism" - Joseph Smith Jr.Comment

So Soul is no Coco?Comment

I guess that depends on how much you liked Coco?Originally posted by Katy Lied View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Loved Coco for the sheer emotion and beautiful animation. It is an easy film to adore.Originally posted by Katy Lied View Post
I loved Soul partly for the risks it took. It was imaginative and very unique in how abstract concepts were presented. But I was still very touched by its simple message."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Is this your way of saying Coco is for simpletons? That’s funny. Though I admit, Coco is an easy film to adore. Because it’s brilliant. Indeed, I submit that Coco is just as imaginative and unique as Soul, if not more so.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

I may need to rewatch Coco. I liked it but thought it was kind of boring in its message and seemed like something people have hit on over and over again. But Coco was great for both the animation and it portrayed it's message beautifully.

I guess that's what makes movies and art so great, they strike different chords. Some movies that I love, while not being great movies, have had moments that just resonate with me:

I guess I just don’t see what is so brilliant, earth shattering, and fresh about the message in your spoiler.

I watched Soul last night and wasn't moved by it. Besides the down right bad Pixar movies like The Good Dinosaur and Cars 2, the ones that resonate the least are Inside Out and this movie. These type of movies are just not a good fit for Pixar, its style.
Seems to me that Pixar is losing its great creativity that is started out with. It was bound to happen. The only good original movie (non-sequel) of the last decade was Coco.Comment

I loved Soul and thought it was brilliant in all the ways people have mentioned. I ALSO loved that I wasn't a blubbering mess by the end of it.
Coco is so amazing, but is there some team of sadists at Pixar that insist on emotionally ruining the audience?"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"Comment
