I watched Disney-Pixar’s new movie Soul on Christmas day and thoroughly enjoyed it! It’s a story based in New York and one of the things that stuck out most to me, of course, is the details of the subway stations. The jazz club “Half Note” is in the village while Joe’s mother’s shop is next to an elevated 7 train, so I assume it’s somewhere in Queens. The animation team really nailed everything from color, texture, sound, to the overall vibe. Man do I miss a pre-pandemic New York!
