I’ve mostly noticed strong enthusiasm, but the biggest critique I’ve seen was the frustration with POC leads in animated movies transforming into something else 20 minutes into the movie, with things like Princess and the Frog, Brother Bear, the pigeon spy movie, etc. being the most notable offenders. While I’m really excited for Soul, I can’t say I disagree. Until Princess and the Frog, there wasn’t a black lead in a Disney film since.... Song of the South. And even Uncle Remus spent a large portion of the film voicing Brer Rabbit (among other issues with that movie lol). I love that Soul seems to be celebrating a black character’s talent and culture so I don’t want to write it off too quickly, but I can absolutely see why the trailer is frustrating to a lot of people who have been remarkably under-represented.
