Soul

Pixar chose to portray the film's main character as a musician, because they wanted a "profession the audience could root for," and settled for a musician after trying for a scientist, which "[didn't feel] so naturally pure as a musician's life." Pete Docter described Soul as "an exploration of: Where should your focus be? What are the things that, at the end of the day, are really going to be the important things that you look back on and go, 'I spent a worthy amount of my limited time on Earth worrying or focused on that'?"

(at around 37 mins) When Joe gets into the cat soul they wonder what happened to its actual soul. It is then showed that the cat's soul is on its way to the beyond, implying the cat died. When Joe gets his body back the cat is seen alive and well (at around 1h 12 mins), which makes no sense since the cat is dead. However, cats have nine lives.

There is a dedication in the closing credits: "Dedicated to all the mentors in our lives."

The movie's Disney+ release adds the Disney+ Original logo at the beginning.
