Disney is sharing a feel-good story that’s sure to stir your soul and get your toes tapping! Central Florida Students jumped into the world of jazz with a special screening of Disney & Pixar’s ‘Soul’. Check out the sweet details and photos as shared below by DisneyParksBlog.
As we continue to celebrate Black history and culture throughout Black History Month and beyond, we were jazzed to surprise more than 100 students at local Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida with an immersive screening experience surrounding them in the world of Disney and Pixar’s newest film, “Soul,” courtesy of Disney+. The new animated film invites fans on an unforgettable journey alongside middle-school band teacher Joe Gardner to discover what makes you, well, you!
The Walt Disney World Ambassadors and Walt Disney Imagineering Curator Deb Van Horn kicked off the experience with an exclusive video about the new ‘Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure’ exhibit at EPCOT, teaching the students firsthand about the vibrant history and culture of jazz music before they saw and heard it come to life in the film.
