In February, we reported the opening of the new “The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure” exhibit located in the American Adventure pavilion in EPCOT. The exhibit tells the story of jazz music, featuring the characters from the Golden Globe-winning Pixar film Soul. Now, it has received an update showcasing new maquettes from the film.

The new display features maquettes from Soul. Maquettes are scale-model sculptures used by the animators as models for the film. For example, Pixar filmmakers used these maquettes of Joe Gardner and Dorothea Williams.
