That's great that they got actual jazz museums involved and it won't be a
They stole your title verbatim!Disney wants to check the diversity and authenticity boxes? Then put a Black jazz combo in the American Garden Theater. Soul gives the perfect opportunity to do so and IPize it at the same time. The Soul of Jazz!
I'd bet Tuba Skinny would take a six-month gig...Still need a cool jazz band in the AA theater, tho.

New Exhibit ‘The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure’ Debuts in February at EPCOT
The historic transformation of EPCOT will take another step forward in early February with “The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure,” a new exhibit debuting inside The American Adventure. Featuring Joe Gardner from Disney and Pixar’s “Soul”disneyparks.disney.go.com
I liked the movie, though I don't want anymore IP at Epcot. The only place I could see a Soul attraction going is Imagination, which I would hate because that'd mean we won't ever get the proper Dreamfinder and Figment attraction.
That's a terrible opinion. You're telling me that the same company who made rides based on Song of the South, a car company, Aerosmith, an elevator, and a greenhouse wouldn't be able to create an attraction based off of the emotional roller coaster that is Soul? Just a TINY bit of creativity and you could work with a LOT of ideas from this film. Yeesh.
Except this IP explores the type of heavy stuff I thought we wanted Epcot to explore. I honestly can't see making a ride out of it but I can understand the Soul of Jazz exhibit in the American Pavilion and I could see an exhibit on the "soul" in the Play pavilion if and when it is ever built.
Fun, and with standards to boot.
You're right about Soul's appropriateness for a park such as Epcot. All I was saying, is that I wouldn't want the Imagination pavilion to lose its potential to any sort of IP, because the original attraction was very much timeless, and already worked. I'd love to see an updated version of the original attraction using technology that wasn't available in 1982. There is so much potential in resurrecting the original attraction, in an even more timeless manner than before. The characters and concept are timeless. I'd love to see Soul represented at Epcot, but I certainly wouldn't want to see it shoehorned into an already existing facility. I don't think the IP would necessarily work for a standalone ride like you mentioned, so that's just another reason as to why I wouldn't want to see it shoehorned into Imagination, because that space deserves a grand attraction once again, that isn't some sort of walkthrough or show.Except this IP explores the type of heavy stuff I thought we wanted Epcot to explore.

Want to add to this, they could also have a nice "Soul" inspired Jazz bar to put somewhere for grownups to enjoy. It could easily go with the boardwalk theme since they already have a dueling piano bar.

Well, Soul was supposed to hit theaters this past Fall.That was fast-tracked! I don't know whether to be impressed or worried. Hope it's a proper celebration and not something slapped together JUST to promote a movie.
