Most minutes watched for that week and the year.

And this is with D+ having a third the number of subs as Netflix.

I'm sure not making it a Premier Access title helped.

I was trying to figure out why soul didn’t feel like a Disney movie or kids film.

I think it is was because the main character was an adult. Was there a reason Disney chose to use an adult as the main character?

Majority of Pixar protagonists are adults (or act like adults). Out of the 23 movies Pixar has made Coco, Onward, and Brave have clear cut "children" (under the age of 21) protagonists. And two of those are teenagers.

Soul's story demands that the main character is experienced with earth and has a goal in contrast with Twenty Two. It'd be a completely different story with someone much younger than Joe.

Naw, toy story films are clearly child focused. 11 of the films are not human lead characters, which is a child focused concept typically. The incredibles is a family which includes children in the lead roles, likewise up has child in lead role. Inside out is the brain of a child.

There’s one movie that is human characters and no child lead characters for kids to relate to...

obviously the story would be different with someone younger than joe. That’s my point, the film doesn’t work as a Pixar film for me. It was good movie I just don’t see it as a kids Pixar film.

Soul has Twenty Two who is coded to be a child and her character development focuses on her not being able to find a passion while everyone's trying to push her towards one. More relatable to children than a lot of animated movie lessons.

Also a good amount of the movie is a body switch story with a cute talking cat, can't think of any more kid friendly than that!
