Life, Animated
At three years old, a lively little boy called Owen Suskind ceased to talk, evaporating 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 dad donned a puppet--Iago, that the wisecracking parrot from Aladdin--and asked"what's it like to be you?" And poof! Owen replied, with dialogue. Life, Animated tells the story of how Owen seen a framework for making sense of the world and a pathway to speech.
