Cinemas throughout Europe have bemoaned the decision by Disney to forgo a full theatrical release for the forthcoming Pixar animation Soul.
The film, about a music teacher (Jamie Foxx) whose soul becomes separated from his body, will premiere instead on Disney’s streaming service, Disney+.
The International Union of Cinemas (UNIC) released a statement decrying the decision, which comes amid widespread cinema closures caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
