About Life, Animated

At three years old, a chatty, energetic little boy named Owen Suskind ceased to speak, disappearing into autism with apparently no way out. Almost four years passed and the only stimuli that engaged Owen were Disney films.

Life, Animated (2016) is a documentary film directed by Roger Ross Williams. Owen Suskind stars as Himself, Ron Suskind as Himself, Jonathan Freeman as Himself, and Gilbert Gottfried as Himself.

It runs 91 minutes and was released in July 2016.

Shelv files it under hopeful, awestruck, empathetic, and candid. In the United States it streams on Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Prime Video with Ads, and fuboTV. It scores 7.4 out of 10 from 147 TMDB voters and it carries a PG rating.

The Personal History of David Copperfield, Monica, and Every Body make useful companions to Life, Animated.
