Best Quotes From Disney and Pixar’s ‘Soul’
What makes a person special? Disney and Pixar introduce fans to the āgreat beforeā and the world of jazz enthusiasts, Joe Gardner, voiced by Jamie Foxx.
Although this movie had its funny moments, it also shared a valuable lesson about enjoying lifeās little moments, thanks to the soul named 22. Here are some fan-favorite quotes from Disney and Pixarās Academy Award-nominated film, Soul.Ā
āSoulā introduced Disney and Pixar viewers to the jazz fan named Joe GardnerĀ
āDonāt worry, you canāt crush a soul here,ā 22 said. āThatās what life on earth is for.ā
Joe Gardner finally got the chance of a lifetime to play at a jazz club. After receiving the job, though, this character fell down a pothole and found himself in the āgreat before.ā Thatās where he met the insufferable and endlessly argumentative 22. No matter how hard Joe tried, he couldnāt get her interested in Earth.
When 22 first visited Earth during āSoulā
āYouāre really good at jazzing,ā 22 said.
None of the things in the āGreat Beforeā inspired 22. When she traveled to New York City and rode the subway, tried pizza, and munched on a lollipop, she finally found her āspark.ā
When 22 explained her experience with historic figures
āI have compassion for every soul. Except you. I donāt like you,ā Mother Teresa said to 22.
From Abraham Lincoln to Nicolaus Copernicus, 22 didnāt make a great impression on several historical figures. That even included Mother Teresa, who said she didnāt like her.
When Joe finally plays with Dorothea WilliamsĀ
āI heard this story about a fish,ā Ms. Williams said to Joe. āHe swims up to this older fish and says, āIām trying to find this thing they call the ocean.ā āThe ocean?ā says the older fish. āThatās what youāre in right now.ā āThis?ā says the young fish. āThis is water. What I want is the ocean.āā
Itās this conversation with the jazz legend that opens Joeās eyes to his purpose on this earth. It wasnāt just to play this one concert. It was to enjoy the little things.
When Moonwind explained the difference between āthe zoneā and an obsession
āThe zone is enjoyable. But when that joy becomes an obsession, one becomes disconnected from life,ā Moonwind said.
Moonwind might be a little eccentric for a wise soul, but itās with his help that Joe returned to Earth ā well, sort of. On their first try, 22 and Joe travel to earth and Joe gets stuck in his catās body. 22, in Joeās body, first discovers her love for pizza and ājazzingā throughout New York City.Ā
