22 vs. Earth

A cute little short film that fans of "Soul" should enjoy. I don't think this short adds a lot more in terms of character depth and is much more kid-friendly than the feature it's based on, but I still think it is a fun way to spend a few minutes. Overall, it is charming and fun but doesn't add much to the already fascinating universe of "Soul."

Nothing special but it was fun. It was creative. Not my favourite.

'22 vs. Earth (2021)' is a short film focusing on the exploits of 22 as she attempts to defy the natural order of 'the great before' and prevent her friends from discovering their passion and inevitably making their way to earth. It's not bad, but it feels redundant because the lead character doesn't really develop all that much and the flick's events, broadly speaking, were already covered in 'Soul (2020)'. It's essentially just a series of gags surrounding a single central premise, without a proper driving force or message behind it. It isn't especially funny or, even, all that engaging. However, it's entertaining enough to be worth a watch if you're a fan of the character. It's alright. 5/10.

An entertaining prequel short of the feature film, Soul. It was interesting seeing 22 prior to Joe Gardner's arrival and there's plenty of comedy moments. As usual, Disney and Pixar's animation is outstanding. I highly recommended this short.

If you watched Soul and thoroughly enjoyed it even loved that film there is no reason to not watch this. Some people will over analyze it and either hate it or love it for their own pretentious reasoning. When this is really just a fun little adventure with 22 that pokes fun at her character growth before soul and a few good laughs. Just enjoy it and don't over analyze something that isn't supposed to be Citizen Kane.
