From Academy Award–winning director Roger Ross Williams comes the story of Owen Suskind, a young autistic man who couldn’t speak as a child until he discovered a unique way to communicate by immersing himself in the world of Disney animated films. Blending both classic and original animation with intimate documentary footage, LIFE, ANIMATED is a powerfully honest and moving account of one family’s journey through autism and an uplifting ode to the redemptive power of cinema.
