The theatrical release of the Pixar feature has been postponed. 

Multiple outlets report that Disney is officially pushing Soul from June 19 to November 20. The delay in schedule also means that Raya and the Last Dragon which was originally set to open on November 25, will now open on March 12, 2021.

Soul’s scheduling shift is the latest pic to join the studio’s shuffled release calendar with Mulan pushed to July 24, Black Widow to November 7 and The Eternals to February of 2021. In other words — due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, a major Disney movie isn’t set to open in theaters until the end of July.

Soul follows a middle-school music teacher, voiced by Jamie Foxx, who dreams of being a jazz performer but he then gets in an accident that causes his soul to be separated from his body.
