“Soul” has won the hearts of many after its premiere in Christmas in Disney +However, the movie may not have the ending we all saw on screen, as the creators revealed the ending they had in mind.
You cannot teach this man to enjoy life the right way and then steal it from him
The producer of the film Pixar and Disney, Danna Murray, said in interview with ET what there were many debates about “the tour” from “Joe” to “The Great After”, so the fact that the viewer saw the character live his life influenced the final decision. “It felt like the right ending”, said.
Kemp Powers, screenwriter of “Soul,” revealed that for his part they had different versions of the ending, one where “Joe” did not return to his body and died. Another alternate ending was where the protagonist was seen on Earth a year later. They even thought of leaving “Joe” as a successful mentor in the “Big Before”.
“I think people felt it was a trick to make him come back (to life),” said Pete Docter, director of “Soul”. “On the other hand, story-wise, you can’t teach this man to enjoy life the right way and then steal it from him.”
Doctor explained to the specialized media that the original ending was just that, “Joe” did not return to Earth. “That was the original design”.
They eventually agreed that the way to end the story that way was more ‘in peace’.
Other ideas the production team had were to continue the story of “22” after he was born on Earth, but in the end it wouldn’t get 100 percent of the public’s taste, it didn’t seem like something “satisfying,” said Pete . Doctor.
“I think I’m a fan of this, even ‘Monsters Inc.’, it is much more powerful to give the decision to the publicSaid doctor. “Anything they come up with will, in a sense, be more real and emotional than anything we give them.”
“Soul” came to Disney + on December 25, after it postponed its release several times due to the coronavirus pandemic.
