If you still collect physical media, have bad internet or possibly didn’t sign up for Disney+ to watch “Soul”, there is some good news as Disney will be releasing Pixar’s “Soul” on digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD in the United States on March 23rd.

“Soul”, much like “Mulan” was originally supposed to have a traditional release, by being released in cinemas, then on home media, before finally being added onto Disney+.

The digital and physical releases of “Soul” will include exclusive, never-before-seen deleted scenes and audio commentary by Pete Docter, Kemp Powers and Dana Murray. Additionally, fans can find the film packaged as a collectable SteelBook at Best Buy and packaged with a limited-edition gallery book at Target.

“Soul” introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.

Disney and Pixar’s Soul Bonus Features include:

• Deleted Scenes:
