This movie does exactly all the things that Pixar does best.
It has gorgeous animations, especially the backgrounds and surroundings look hyperrealistic at times, without losing the charm of an animated film, there are some scene where the animations get quite trippy for a childrens movie. The characters brim with life and the dynamic between the two main characters is well written, they both complement each other great and help with the others development, but also the lesser fleshed out side characters help to create a living world (or 'intermediate world' in the case of the immensely cute unborn souls.) It gets pretty dark and deep concerning life & death for a childrens movie, but Pixar showed time and time again, that they want to appeal to a greater audience and it pays of well here. The plot makes you think about your own life and maybe even reconsider some choices you've made so far. Fittingly, they used an adult as theier protagonist, which is not usually common in childrens movies, but helps the movie give a more mature vibe.
I think it's not surprising that the soundtrack to a movie about a musician is appropriatley deliberate put together, if you like Jazz you're gonna fall in love with this movie, if you don't like Jazz ... you should give it another try for this one.
All in all well spent 100 minutes, a movie for the whole family with great music, emotion, characters and even some good laughs.
I'd give it a 8.5/10, if that was possible, but since it isn't I decided that 8/10 is the better fit.

I've seen Every Pokémon movie except for Heroes(2002) and the newest one, Secrets of the Jungle(2020) and this one is probably the best one so far.
It mixes up the usual setup, which gives the whole movie a fresh feeling, the supporting cast has more depth than usual and most characters get even some form of development. The plot is nothing special, but also not as predictable as in most other films of the franchise, the animations look good and for the more important scenes even on par with some better anime movies. All in all we'll spent 100 minutes of my time, if you want to check out a Pokemon Movie, you should give this one a try. 7/10.
