Soul was the first Pixar film to be released exclusively on Disney+ in 2020. Jamie Foxx, Tina Fey and Graham Norton are among its talented cast.

The comedy-drama follows a school teacher who tries to reunite his soul and body whilst in a coma, just in time for his big break as a jazz musician.

Luca landed on the streaming platform in 2021. Starring Jacob Tremblay and Jack Dylan Grazer, the coming-of-age story centres around the friendship between a human and a young sea monster disguised as a human.

The film has an impressive 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics likening the heartwarming tale to The Little Mermaid.

The voices of Killing Eve's Sandra Oh and Rosalie Chiang feature in the movie, which follows a 13-year-old who transforms into a giant red panda whenever she experiences a strong emotion.

Turning Red will be released in UK cinemas on February 9, ahead of Soul on March 8, and Luca on April 5.
