I actually thought ‘Soul’ was already available! Did it pop in the cinema first...then to Disney+?

(If it hasn’t....it’s a good strategy to get some analytics on how many subscribers end up adding the film to their watch list...and....visiting the page before it’s release)

PS: I’m so glad I live in the future!

PPS: According to IMDB it hasn’t been released anywhere! So that means...the premier would be on Disney+!

PPPS: Oh....my....goodness!!!! Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are scoring a Pixar film!??? No....way....No way....excitement levels....have increased.....300%!!!!
