Pixar’s “Soul” takes us to “The Great Before,” where unborn souls prepare for life on Earth. The filmmakers discuss the unique visual design.

What do kids believe happens after we die?  Are children too young to hear about death?  What tools are available to help children understand the loss of a loved one, or the death of a pet?
