"We have versions of the ending where Joe does not go back to his body, where he actually stays dead. We have versions of the ending where you see Joe on Earth a year later," co-director Kemp Powers explains. "The version with Joe not going back to his body, he basically ended up as a mentor in the You Seminar, but a repeat mentor. He stayed and ended up being, like, the best mentor ever, and he introduced lots of new ideas to the You Seminar. He kind of revolutionized it."

Director Pete Docter, meanwhile, explains that they once considered showing The Great Beyond in Soul, with Joe heading there as he finally moves on to the afterlife. However, despite it being visually "abstract," the filmmaker notes that, "We decided, 'Eh, probably dangerous." And not ultimately right for the film, most importantly."

22's fate is never revealed, though we know that once she's born, she'll forget her time in The Great Before. However, as Powers explains, they once planned on giving her a little more closure.

"We did a couple of 'em, but the one that I was thinking of was that Joe is a teacher and he hears a knock at the door and there's a kid who's like, 'I really don't like piano.' The mom's like, 'Come on, Mr. Garner is going to teach you,' and she does these little things that Joe's like, 'Wait a second. I know who that is...' And yet, somehow it wasn't satisfying. It just wasn't satisfying."

That last sentence should’ve been the ending

Like a previous user said, the white woman voicing a black man for the whole latter half of the movie doesn’t sit too well.

Thankfully, that’s my only complaint of the movie. Really loved this film and thought it was one of Pixar’s most engaging and deepest films. Also, the animation is f***ing excellent.

All in all, this is a top tier Pixar film to me.
