Life, Animated

Overview

Owen Suskind, a vibrant young boy, suddenly stopped speaking at the age of three, drifting into the silence of autism. For nearly four years, Disney movies became his only connection to the outside world. Everything changed when his father, using an Iago puppet from Aladdin, prompted Owen with a simple question. To everyone’s surprise, Owen responded with lines from the film. Life, Animated chronicles Owen's inspiring journey, illustrating how Disney's enchanting stories provided him with a unique means of communication and understanding, bridging the gap between his inner world and reality.
