We're obviously having to wait longer than planned for Pixar's next film, Soul, but from everything we've seen so far – including this new teaser – it'll be worth it. Check out the new footage below.

Soul, directed by Pixar boss Pete Docter and co-writer Kemp Powers, follows the story of Joe Gardener (Jamie Foxx) a school band teacher who has always harboured dreams of playing jazz professionally. But shortly after he gets his big break, something happens to him, which finds his soul somehow sent back to a place called the You Seminar, a "beforelife" where souls are educated and formed before they are assigned to humans. There, he meets 22 (not her full name, but it's a number too long to quote here), voiced by Tina Fey, who has been observing Earth for a long time and has decided that it's a terrible place. But she does agree to help Joe get back there.

This new peek at the film finds Joe reflecting on what he thinks is important in life, and is very much set in the real world. It features a new song by R&B and neo soul musician Cody ChestnuTT, while the movie's score comes from Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and jazz musician Jon Batiste.

Soul will be out in November. We hope...
