Will ‘Soul’ Be Free to Watch on Disney+ on Christmas Day?

Disney is giving us the best Christmas gift of all: some jazz in NYC, and a new Pixar movie! Starting on Christmas, Soul will be able to stream on Disney+, as opposed to its original in-theaters only release. Grab some tissues, open some presents, and settle in with the latest Pixar movie. Better yet: plan for a double feature with the new Wonder Woman 1984 film also debuting.

Soul, directed by Pixar staple Pete Docter, follows middle school band teacher Joe (Jamie Foxx) in an entirely new realm. He’s a great musician besotted by jazz, but his life hasn’t gone completely the way he expected it to go. So, when Joe’s dropped into a heavenly world to help another being find its way, he discovers the true meaning of his own soul. Trying to figure his way out of the Great Beyond and the Great Before, Joe tries to get back to Earth before he loses his body.

Sounds like another Pixar classic like Up or Inside Out, right? You won’t want to miss it, especially since it’ll be so easy to watch on Christmas morning. Here’s everything you need to know about streaming Soul on Disney+:

When will Soul be on Disney+? What time will Soul be streaming on Disney+?

Soul is releasing on Christmas Day, which is Dec. 25. No need to risk going to the movie theater during the pandemic — you can watch this new release from the comfort of your own home. Soul will be available on Christmas morning at 3:01 a.m. ET/12:01 a.m. PT.

Will Soul be streaming for free? How much does Soul cost for Disney+ subscribers?

Great news: Soul will be available to all Disney+ subscribers free of charge. Unlike Mulan, which was released earlier this year on the platform, there’s no $29.99 fee to watch Soul. You just need to be a subscriber of Disney+ to tune in.

If you still need to sign up for Disney+, that’s easy too! Just head on over to the Disney+ website and select a plan — either $6.99 per month or $69.99 for a whole year. Think about it this way: $6.99 is a whole lot cheaper than one movie ticket and some popcorn on opening day. That’s a bargain!

Will Soul be available on Netflix? Can I rent or purchase Soul on VOD?

No and no, sorry. Soul is streaming exclusively on Disney+. You won’t find it on Netflix, and it also won’t be available to rent or purchase.

Is there a Soul trailer?

There sure is, and you can watch it right here. See you in the Great Beyond!
