You ever feel like.... a man stuck in a cat's body?

No? Well spoilers...that's what you get with Pixar's Soul!

Welcome back to Season 04 of the Black N Animated Podcast. As you may have guessed this episode Bre and Way talk about Pixar's Soul, and you might start feeling de ja vu as they discuss the trope of POC not staying human in animated films (a large portion of them being Disney). They also chat about the Clubhouse app, Spies in Disguise, and more!
