Pets of the public and innovators from animation in a pandemic were not afraid to move the release of their expensive animation blockbuster from the cinema halls on Disney +. And from April 1, the film will be available in Russia, in the online cinema OKKO.
Who in childhood did not give himself in the embrace and did not dream about the implementation of the most bold desires? As a child, it is easy to hardly rush to a certain highest point of self-realization, whether it is a game on a violin, drawing or acting skills. But at some point, and few understands when the dream of creativity becomes a reality and turns into life.
And then the question arises: how to live with the realization that art is not a higher purpose, but only one more way to earn money on life?
These reflections are the key idea of the last moment of the Pixar "Soul" cartoon from the director of Petya Dr., the Multiplier from Minnesota, as he calls himself. The artist came to the studio when he was twenty-one for him, and for the thirty years he continues to have a direct influence on it. At the dawn, the doctor did an exclusive offer to work as a competition over the "Monsters Corporation", which brought Oscar Studios. The next few years were for the doctors no less fruitful: he created several more cult cartoons ("Up", "Puzzle"), was still six times nominated for Oscar, and in 2017 after the departure of Founder Founder Pixar John Lasser took place of artistic Studio head.
Despite a new position, complete obligations, Pete Dotter could not leave the director and brought the project to the final project about the search for his spark, which 23 years did not give him peace - "soul".
Due to the pandemic, the release of the film on large screens was delayed, but it did not prevent him from raising more than 250 million rubles in just the first four days of rental in Russia.
On the one hand, the "soul" of Petya and Somiesera Kemp Powers, which invested many personal traits in the main character, continues the tradition of Pixar, reflecting on the complex and eternal with the help of simple. But on the other, it makes a big step towards an adult viewer, who from the first minutes can know himself immediately in two main characters -Jo Gardner (Jamie Fox) and the soul named twenty-second (Tina Fay).
Joe is a school music teacher. As a child, he, like everything, dreamed of something big and great, but the hopes for a successful career are about to finally melt: proposals from jazz ensembles do not come, and the secondary school invites full bid with insurance, pension and a couple in a couple Dozens of indifferent lacrimals in addition. Suddenly, Gardner fell a chance to fulfill a children's dream and become a real touring jazzman, accompanying the famous saxophonist Dorothea Williams. Himself not his own happiness, Joe's lucky the New York streets crossed, with each step turning out to be closer to the sobering catastrophe. Less than an hour after listening, Joe fell into the sewer hatch and died.
It has long been known that in Pixar refuse to believe in oblivion after death, so I barely lose your earthly body, Joe acquires the body spiritual and turns out to be in a bright after.
But Joe does not intend to surrender in a step from a dream, he rinsing and falls through the space in the so-called world before. There are still incomparated souls waiting for their birth, and creatures, calling themselves Jerry, devoid of sex and age, ensure that the process of appearance and education of the souls is continuous and automated, although not devoid of improvisation. Jerry give Joe task: to prepare twenty-second second, unpleasant soul without any desire for birth.
To the music of the Grammy laureate, John Batista, Oscar owners of the Trent of the regulation and Attikus Ross, Joe starts fulfilling the task, hoping to find a way out of the world before, and return to earthly life.
Real New York, created by the artist Jude Brownbill for Gardner, is more expensive than a serene and light of a different world.
It is too blurred forms and monotonous color gamut, the heroes respond to the same name and perform a set of functions they have. But the New York is full of unpredictable events, bright shades varying depending on the time of year, and the heroes whose life is far from predictability.
But, perhaps, this is the only opposition that can be detected in the cartoon. All other reports rather about the variety, rather than a collision. For example, in the "soul" there is simply no character-villains, and conflict situations arise inside Joe and twenty second, and not in their interaction. The problems of the heroes are not related to the race (according to the plot of Joe - African American, and twenty-second, although it does not have a physical form, but prefers to position itself as an American white girl of twenty years old), political convictions, culture or customs.
All their fears and doubts are grown on the soil of universal dissatisfaction with themselves and deliberately refusing, it would seem like a simple truth - it is not necessary to live for the sake of the Great and the most intended, but just like that.
Now the creation of Petya doctors can be found in the OKKO online cinema, and watch the cartoon "Soul" (6+) stands regardless of whether you managed to earlier with him in the dark hall of the cinema. He, like other paintings, created in Pixar Studios, pays a lot of riddles - ranging from classic reference to past and future studio projects and ending with new meanings that are lost in the saturation of the main storyline. And if you disassemble the cartoon in pieces is not included in your plans, then see it is not for the sake of the Great and the most intended, but just to feel the smell of autumn and understand that it's never too late to open your eyes and start living.
