Free Soul coloring pages: 47 printable PDF designs of the 2020 Pixar film that follows a jazz musician’s soul on an unplanned detour through the afterlife. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored directly online in the browser, with no account required.
Free Soul Coloring Pages center on Joe Gardner, a middle school music teacher whose soul is separated from his body just before a career-defining jazz gig, directed by Pete Docter. Trying to find his way back, he crosses paths with 22, a soul who has spent ages avoiding life on Earth. A mystical guide named Moonwind, and a mix-up involving Joe’s cat, round out a cast this set brings to the page in several styles, from realistic Earth-bound portraits to the glowing, simplified look of a soul.
Solo portraits of the main characters make up most of the set, alongside scenes pairing them together and a handful of general movie-themed pages. Several titles are close variations of the same basic pose or design.
What Is Inside This Collection
Five groups make up the 47 pages, moving from solo character portraits toward paired scenes, the cat subplot, and general movie art.
Joe Gardner Solo Portraits
Nine pages give Joe a portrait of himself, often at the piano or mid-expression. His signature blue suit and hat stay consistent across most of these designs, making a warm Brown skin tone and classic Navy suit a dependable starting palette.
22 Solo Portraits
Eleven pages, the largest group in the set, focus on 22 alone, shown laughing, thinking, dreaming, or posed. Since 22 usually appears in her glowing soul form, a soft Blue-white tone captures her look better than solid, opaque colors.
Joe and 22 Together
Seven pages pair the two leads in a shared scene, smiling, celebrating, or simply standing side by side. Keeping Joe’s Earth-toned design distinct from 22’s translucent soul form helps both characters read clearly on the same page.
Mr. Mittens and Moonwind
Eight pages follow the film’s cat subplot and its guide character: Mr. Mittens, Joe’s cat caught up in a soul mix-up, and Moonwind, who helps steer lost souls back on course. A classic orange tabby palette suits Mittens, while earthy greens and golds fit Moonwind’s eccentric design.
General and Movie-Themed Pages
Twelve pages step back from individual characters toward posters, title art, and general scenes, including a couple of tiles that appear to repeat an earlier design under a new title. These work well as a starting point for anyone less familiar with the specific cast.
What Soul Coloring Pages Do
Two looks for one character. Depending on which realm a scene is set in, the same character can appear as a simplified, glowing soul or as a fully detailed person back on Earth. Noticing which version a page shows, before picking up a crayon, changes what “getting the colors right” actually means for that particular design.
Small details carry a lot of weight in this set: piano keys under Joe’s fingers, the shape of 22’s expression, the exact curve of Mittens’ ears. Working through those details with a steady hand is the kind of practice the American Academy of Pediatrics points to when it describes coloring as an early building block for fine motor control.
A personality stuck in the wrong body. Part of the plot puts one character’s outlook inside an ordinary house cat, which means the artists had to find ways to suggest a very specific personality using only a cat’s face and posture. Coloring the Mittens pages is a chance to notice how much can be communicated through an animal’s expression alone, without a single human feature to rely on.
A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal found that people reported feeling calmer after a structured coloring session. This result fits neatly with a film spending most of its runtime asking what actually makes a life feel worthwhile. Working through one of these pages slowly, rather than rushing to finish, echoes that same idea in miniature.
How to Color Soul Pages Well
- Joe on Earth: warm Brown skin, dark hair, and his signature Navy blue suit with a matching Trilby-style hat.
- 22 in soul form: a soft, glowing Blue-white rather than a solid opaque color, since souls in the film read as translucent light.
- The You Seminar setting: cool pastel tones, soft Turquoise, Lavender, pale Yellow, for the ethereal backdrop souls move through.
- Mr. Mittens: a classic orange tabby coat, since Joe’s cat is designed with warm ginger-brown fur and stripes.
- Moonwind: earthy, mystical tones, deep Green, Brown, and Gold, matching his eccentric sign-twirler design.
- Piano and jazz club scenes: warm Amber and Gold lighting tones suggest the glow of a stage at night.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With Soul Coloring Pages
1. Soul-Form Transformation Card
Color one page showing a character’s Earth form and one showing their soul form, then fold a piece of cardstock in half so one image sits on the front and the other appears inside. Glue each colored page to its side of the fold. Opening the card reveals the transformation between the two looks.
2. Jazz Club Diorama
Color a Joe-at-the-piano page, cut it out, and glue it into a small shoebox stage set with paper curtains and a spotlight cut from yellow paper. Add a few small paper chairs or tables around the stage. This turns a solo portrait into a small performance scene.
3. Mr. Mittens Puppet
Color the Mr. Mittens page, cut it out, and attach it to a craft stick to make a simple cat puppet. Use the puppet to act out a short scene of your own about a mix-up or mistaken identity. This turns a still portrait into a hands-on prop for pretend play.
4. Spark Finder Journal
Color a few of the 22-themed pages, glue them into a blank notebook, and leave space beside each one to jot down a personal interest or hobby. Add a new page whenever a new interest comes to mind. This turns the coloring pages into a simple journal about the things that make a day feel worthwhile.
5. Soul Bookmark Set
Color a few of the smaller solo portrait pages, trim them into bookmark strips, and add a hole punch and ribbon at the top. Keep one in a favorite book as a small reminder. A batch of five or six makes an easy gift for a fellow Pixar fan.
