Life, Animated is a heartwarming documentary about the brilliant, funny and very likable Owen Suskind. Owen, an autistic boy, learned to contextualize his world through Disney animated films. It is about the whole family and how they grow and adapt and age. There are highs and there are lows; and the film is unflinching. It is an honest portrait. The story is told in an enchanting fashion, through talking head interviews, footage of Owen's day-to-day life, including some milestones, and beautifully crafted animated sequences. The animated sequences are visually stunning and what a brilliant way to use animation.
