Research is an important part of Pixar’s films, taking filmmakers to places ranging from landfills to Scotland. “Soul” called for some of their best research to date. “We visited a number of jazz clubs,” says production designer Steve Pilcher. The Half Note is pretty true to scale of the typical size of a jazz club.
After a successful gig at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child.
