ChrisIn Pixar's Coco we learned that the souls of the dead vanish if the person is forgotten. This imply souls are reference counted.

@bondolo That's a possibility. I don't think it was revealed in the movie if cyclic components would be released or not.
@chrisvest Regardless, having strong roots seems important.
