Disney and Pixar are celebrating the upcoming release of their new film ‘Soul’ by collaborating with HUE Unlimited to produce a curated collection of wearable art pieces inspired by the film.
Soul will be released in theatres (COVID-19 permitting) on Christmas Day. In the meantime, HUE Unlimited has selected four emerging Black artists to lead their creative direction in crafting original artwork inspired by the film.
The collection features artwork designed by cultural creatives Bee Harris, Bianca Pastel, Arrington Porter and Cory Van Lew. Each artist took to the canvas to capture the soul of the film and its heartfelt story of music, family, friendship and self-discovery through their own unique lens, life story and experience as diverse creatives.
“We’re proud to work on this meaningful collection inspired by SOUL and to be able to have each artist’s unique vision shine through,” says Michael Watson II of HUE Unlimited. “As a part of the next generation of creatives, we deeply understand that authenticity is incredibly important to audiences—so being able to curate a collection of products that represents Black voices overall is a dream come true.”
Starting on Nov. 17 kids, families and the next generation of artists and creatives can shop the entire collection featured on the Pixar SOUL shop on Amazon. Fans can also stretch their own creativity by designing personalized products from t-shirts and hoodies to accessories and home goods using their favorite piece of artwork from the collection.
