At three years old, a chatty, energetic little boy named Owen Suskind ceased to speak, disappearing into autism with apparently no way out. Almost four years passed and the only stimuli that engaged Owen were Disney films. Then one day, his father donned a puppet—Iago, the wisecracking parrot from Aladdin—and asked “what’s it like to be you?” And poof! Owen replied, with dialogue from the movie. Life, Animated tells the remarkable story of how Owen found in Disney animation a pathway to language and a framework for making sense of the world.

Nominated for Oscar's Best Documentary Feature, this film is clever, personal, creative and informative. I'm so glad I met Owen Suskund, and if I had a chance to tell him something, I would say to him that movies and TV taught me about life, and how to face challenges, too,, and it was there when I just needed to escape my overtaxed brain, and live someone else's reality for a while. This is a great documentary, and I give t an 8 out of 10.

This is life and it is animated. We all grew up watching animations believed they are real. They are our first friends and also the first step to understand between the real and unreal. So what happens if you have never got as far as to know they are simply the fi More
