21 Funny Tweets About Pixar's "Soul" That Will Crack You Up As You Question Your Real Purpose In Life
The Pixar film made people tear up, but these jokes will make you laugh.
Pixar's Soul hit a nerve because it turns a simple story about a jazz musician into a full-on identity crisis. Joe Gardner is chasing a dream, then one unlucky step sends him into the afterlife and straight into a bigger question about purpose.
Along the way, he meets 22, a soul who has spent a long time avoiding the whole point of being alive, and the movie keeps bouncing between funny, strange, and surprisingly emotional. That mix made it easy for viewers to see themselves in Joe's mess.
These tweets capture that reaction perfectly, and a few of them are painfully relatable. Read on.

The movie's protagonist definitely struck a chord (the pun was very much intended) with the people who watched the film.
That's thanks to Joe Gardner being so relatable to us ordinary humans with ordinary problems. Just like him, we want to achieve that big break.
It's a film that takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. When you finally reach the end, you'll realize that what our society pushes for isn't something that will fulfill our lives.
So go ahead and watch it already!
