No John Ratzenberger!


Will this be the first Pixar movie he has missed?

From Wikipedia:

Soul, Pixar's 23rd feature film, is officially the first Pixar film not to include Ratzenberger's voice or personal involvement. The film's director, Pete Docter, hinted to audiences that Ratzenberger makes a "cameo" in the film, despite him not being credited in the main cast or additional voices. However, it was later confirmed by co-director Kemp Powers that Ratzenberger's appearance was not a voice role, but instead a tribute as a non-speaking background character in the film that was animated in his likeness, meaning Ratzenberger himself technically did not participate in the film. Docter subsequently explained on the audio commentary track for Soul's home media releases that he wanted to come up with something more subdued for Ratzenberger's cameo in the film rather than go the traditional route of having a voice cameo. Ratzenberger was also absent in Pixar's follow-up film, Luca.
