Soul
Joe is a middle school band teacher whose life hasn't quite gone the way he expected. His true passion is jazz, and he's good. But when he travels to another realm to help someone find their passion, he soon discovers what it means to have soul. A trend in the newer Pixar films explores the topic of mortality and the existential questions we pose in ourselves, like in Coco and Toy Story 4. Soul takes that idea and asks how it happens before we are born, and they provide a very creative and abstract idea that is very child friendly, that doesn't challenge the main ideas (or philosophies) of creation.

Honest Thief
Tom Carter (Liam Neeson) is a careful thief who has successfully stolen nine million dollars from 12 small town banks in seven states without anyone ever guessing his true identity. Law enforcement officials and the media have dubbed him the In and Out Bandit. After Tom meets Annie, an honest woman who falls in love with him, he decides that the only way he can ever have any sort of life with her is if he turns himself in to the FBI and makes a deal for a reduced sentence. When two agents decide to keep the money in a brutal double cross that results in the death of a senior agent, Tom must clear his name or add murder to his list of crimes. The agents soon learn that they're not going to get away with framing him as easily as they thought: It turns out that Tom's a former demolitions expert and marine.
