So, I guess this raises the question of how many songs a film has to have to qualify as a musical; or is it some other criteria, like how integrated the songs are into the story telling of the film? Certainly many Pixar films have memorable original songs and scores. I have not seen Soul, but I think Kevin p’s comment holds even if not technically a musical, that it was an opportunity for a couple of fully developed jazz compositions or songs and a full jazz score at least as memorable as Toy Story or maybe Brave.
