“Soul,” the latest film from animation studio Pixar, is skipping theaters for Disney+, Disney announced on Thursday. The film, which includes the voice work of Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey, will make its debut exclusively on the streaming service this Christmas.
The film is just the latest title to skip theaters.
Disney announced in August that “Mulan,” one of the studio’s biggest films of 2020, would skip theaters for Disney+. The film, which is a live action retelling of the 1998 animated film, was offered on the service via Premier Access which means it cost subscribers an extra $29.99 to watch it.
“Soul,” on the other hand, will be offered to all subscribers without the extra charge.
Disney CEO Bob Chapek said on Thursday that the company was thrilled to share “Soul” with audiences on Disney+.
“A new original Pixar film is always a special occasion, and this truly heartwarming and humorous story about human connection and finding one’s place in the world will be a treat for families to enjoy together this holiday season,” he said in a statement.
