There are few animation companies with a better track record at fantastical world-building as Pixar. From the underwater world, to the nightmarish post-apocalyptic future of Cars, to more metaphysical realms, like the mental world of Inside Out or the afterlife of Coco, the Disney subsidiary has always had a knack for creating beautiful, fully realized settings in the strangest of places. Now it’s adding another notch to its belt with the latest trailer for its upcoming Disney+ release Soul, giving us our first full glimpse at “The Great Before,” the pre-life paradise where music teacher Joe (Jamie Foxx) finds himself after falling down a manhole cover back in his regular life.
