LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Soul” has won the heart of Oscar voters. The Pixar film won the Academy Award for best animated feature Sunday night, continuing the Disney division’s dominance in the category. Directed by Pete Docter and featuring the voices of Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey, “Soul” follows a middle school band teacher who dreams of being a jazz musician and tries to escape the afterlife to do it. Docter says “This film started as a love letter to jazz, but we had no idea how much jazz would teach us about life.” Pixar has now won the award 11 times in the 20 years since the category was established.
