Disney & Pixar unveil new Soul animated prequel short 22 vs. Earth
------------------------------------------------------------------
While the Jamie Foxx-led film awaits its turn at the Academy Awards
on Sunday, Disney and Pixar have unveiled a new animated short that
serves as a prequel story to the hit 2020 fantasy dramedy�Soul�
entitled�22 vs. Earth�exploring the titular character's time in the
Great Before prior to the events of the film with Tina Fey
returning to voice.

"While making Soul, we talked about the�why�of�a new soul not
wanting to live on Earth, but it didn't ultimately belong in that
movie," Kevin Nolting, 21-year Pixar veteran and short director,
said in a statement. "22 vs. Earth was a chance to explore some of
the unanswered questions we had about why 22 was so cynical. As a
fairly cynical person myself, it felt like perfect material."

Ever wonder what new soul 22 has against Earth in Disney and Pixar's
Soul?�22 vs. Earth�will explore this as she defies the rules of
The Great Before and refuses to go to Earth, enlisting a gang of
five other new souls in her attempt at rebellion. However, as her
cohorts'�activities lead to unexpected results, 22's subversive plot
may actually lead to a surprising revelation about the meaning of
life.

"I think the new souls make the short so fun-the contrast of their
pure innocence and delight with the cynical expectations of 22,"
Nolting said in a statement.�"The other new souls are what 22 once
was before she took another path-purely innocent, blank slates to be
guided by the counselors in their�mostly uneventful journey to the
earth portal. 22 sees an opening in that and attempts to guide them
herself into her way of thinking."

22 vs. Earth�is set to premiere on Disney+ on April 30.
