Why watch this film?
It's no exaggeration to say that 'Soul' is one of the best films of the 2020-2021 movie season (albeit hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic) and of Pixar's history. With a lot of heart, the feature brings a huge lesson about how we face life, the ordinary and the flame that motivates us to move forward. The aesthetics complement the script impeccably, with a beautiful construction of the real world and an extremely inspired visual for the afterlife - rescuing concepts from modernist architecture of yesteryear. All this accompanied by an impeccable soundtrack, which is divided into two large parts: one with a cozy jazz that embraces us with its notes, and another with new-age inspiration, with the music dialoguing in a surprising way with what we see on screen. All this further elevates the fact that this is the first Pixar animation with an African-American protagonist - something that, although it took a long time to happen, was done with great mastery. Total merits of director Peter Docter (of 'Inside Out' and CCO of Pixar) and producer Dana Murray. Even released directly on streaming due to closed cinemas, 'Soul' was qualified for the Oscar and won the Best Original Score and Best Animated Film awards. Deserved.

Inside Out
One of Pixar's most creative and interesting films, turning emotions into characters, and building a movie that works as a metaphor for puberty and, why not say, depression. It's one of those feature-lengths that not only entertains children, but adults too—learning some lessons from the story. An instant classic, that deserved the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.
Monsters, Inc.
One of the most iconic Disney-Pixar animations. Here, director Pete Docter ('Inside Out', 'WALL-E') plays with the "reality" of monsters. Nothing to scare children just to scare. The scream, in fact, is the source of energy in this world where furry and one-eyed monsters live in harmony. The funniest, however, is the relationship between Mike, Sullivan and the little girl Boo, who enters this parallel reality because of a fault of the monster duo. There are emotional moments, others desperate. But 'Monsters, Inc.' is, in its essence, a fun adventure that teaches the audience to respect differences and always look to the "other side". In addition, it is impossible not to keep Sullivan, Mike, Rose, Boo, George and other monsters in the heart.
Adventure
The Naughty Nine
Fifth-grader Andy finds himself without a present from Santa on Christmas morning.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget
After managing to escape from Tweedy's farm, Ginger found a peaceful island sanctuary for the entire gang. But back on the mainland, the entire chicken species faces a new threat.
Merry Little Batman
Charming animation, originally created for Cartoon Network and later sold to Amazon, Merry Little Batman is a different kind of story from what we're used to with the bat-hero. After all, it focuses on young Damian Wayne. The boy, alone in Wayne Manor on Christmas Eve, transforms into the "Little Batman" to defend Gotham City from villains who want to spoil the holiday festivities. Different and creative, it's a film that only reinforces how versatile and enjoyable Batman can be.
