I love this tune by Trent and Atticus... beautiful. #PixarSoul

Nice work to everybody on the Soul crew! You are all amazing. #PixarSoul

Amazing end credits song recorded by Batiste in his apartment. He recorded on a reel-to-reel tape recorder that used to belong to Ray Charles! #PixarSoul

In making the film, we wrote and/or storyboarded probably every ending you can imagine. Once we found this one, we knew it was right. #PixarSoul

Amazing sound design by the incredible Ren Klyce. He's such an amazing artist and a really nice human to boot. #PixarSoul

Sound mix at Skywalker ranch! I'm sure you all recognize David Parker. #PixarSoul

The music here was written by Trent & Atticus, then played with great emotion by Jon Batiste. An amazing collaboration #PixarSoul

The scene in the subway was inspired by a discussion with Trent Reznor, who very much related to this moment. #PixarSoul

This scene was really what inspired the whole story. Joe achieves his dream... and now what? #PixarSoul

The drumming in that last cue is so crisp! #PixarSoul

This concert scene is killer! The animation, the lighting, the music.... everything works. #PixarSoul

One of our most persistent notes while making the film: 'but what about the cat's soul?' #PixarSoul

Mike Jones originally wrote this scene as a confession. As the film developed, it became a realization. #PixarSoul

But THIS music was recorded at Capital Records in LA! #PixarSoul

This music was written and recorded in Jon Batiste's apartment, thanks to Covid. #PixarSoul

Even as a soul, Joe can’t stop playing. Painting by production designer Steve Piltcher. #PixarSoul

Lulu is played by Rhodessa Jones,
Founder/ Artistic Director of The Medea Project: Theater for Incarcerated Women. Right here in the Bay Area! #PixarSoul

Great cat concept by Jason Deamer! #PixarSoul
