The Big Picture Ever since the very first Toy Story, Pixar's animated films have been able to book buzz-worthy celebrity voice talent that was cast based on role, not just star power.
Who Does Jamie Foxx Play in Pixar's 'Soul'? Jamie Foxx's Joe Gardner in Soul is a New York-born middle school band teacher with an insatiable passion for music. He has spent his entire career working from gig to gig, audition to audition, hoping to someday get his big moment and fulfill his dream of playing jazz professionally. He feels that his entire purpose in life is to play music and that his life would be meaningless without it.
One of the Pixar film’s most emotional and engrossing scenes is when Joe, in the body of a therapy cat, and 22, in Joe’s body, need the help of Libba to fix a tear in an old suit in time for the big club gig. Joe is telling 22 what to do and say in his place in order to keep up appearances and act like everything is normal. Libba, bitter at Joe for taking on yet another gig, confronts her son about his fledgling and aimless career path.
Foxx was given material to work with that was thematically layered in how upfront it was about the nature of how life can change based on perception, which he delivered in a performance that ranged from fearfully defiant to vulnerably enlightened. When faced with the whole timeline of his life, Joe is devastated at how meaningless his whole struggles have been and Foxx conveys these emotions with solemn devastation.
