Life, Animated
Owen Suskind, a lively, enthusiastic three-year-old, ceased to speak, sinking into autism with no way out. For over four years, Owen's only stimulus were Disney movies. Then one day his father inquired, “what's it like to be you?” as Iago, the wisecracking parrot from Aladdin. Poof! Owen responded with movie lines. Life, Animated describes how Owen found words and a framework for understanding the world in Disney animation.
