Imagine being trapped inside a Disney movie and having to
learn about life mostly from animated characters dancing
across a screen of color. A fantasy? A nightmare? This is
the real-life story of Owen Suskind, the son of the Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind and his wife, Cornelia.
An autistic boy who couldn't speak for years, Owen memorized
dozens of Disney movies, turned them into a language to
express love and loss, kinship, brotherhood.The family was
forced to become animated characters, communicating with him
in Disney dialogue and song; until they all emerge,
together, revealing how, in darkness, we all literally need
stories to survive.
