Disney Pixar's new movie Soul has come under fire as some viewers believed that Tina Fey's role should have been given to a Black actress. The new film, that features the studio's first African American lead, centres on the story of a music teacher called Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx) who loses his life but manages to find his soul in the process.
Directed by Pete Docter, the groundbreaking film is infused with depictions of Black culture but also touches on the big questions like the afterlife, and features references to meditation, chakras and even shamans. While the film has received largely glowing reviews for its music and animation, the film hasn't come without criticism.
