Imagine being captured in the Disney movie and having to find out about life mostly from animated personas dancing across a display screen of color. "A illusion? A problem?" This is actually the real-life history of Owen Suskind, the son of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind and his better half, Cornelia. An autistic young man who couldn't speak for a long time, Owen memorized dozens of Disney movies, turned them into a dialect to express love and loss, kinship, brotherhood. The family was obligated to become animated characters, conversing with him in Disney dialogue and music; until they all emerge, together, revealing how, in darkness, we all literally need experiences to survive.
