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.
