# Soul - Parental Guide **Soul** is a thoughtful animated film about a jazz musician whose soul separates from his body, exploring themes of purpose and following your dreams. It's visually imaginative and contains no violence, profanity, or scary content, making it appropriate for most children. Some younger children might find the existential concepts slightly abstract, but it's generally excellent family viewing.

Joe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful audition at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.
