AFRICAN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL
Feb 15, 2025 |Marshall E. Rinker, Sr. Playhouse
2020, 90 min, USA. Co-directed by Kemp Powers and Pete Docter and voiced by Jamie Foxx.
In this fantasy-drama animated film, Academy award winner Jamie Foxx voices Joe Gardner, a middle-school music teacher and jazzman. Soul made history in two ways: Joe is Pixar’s first Black lead character and Kemp Powers is likely the first African American to direct an animated feature. Soul is delicate and philosophical yet infused with the improvisational vibrancy of New York City—and Joe’s dedication to his music. Songs by real-life musicians such as Jon Batiste add depth and heart. When Joe says, “Music is all I think about, from the moment I wake up in the morning to the moment I fall asleep at night; I was born to play,” we know he means it.
