Is Disney Loop AUTISM FILM Any GOOD? · Aspergers & Autism Podcast [The Aspie World] AuDHD

• 0:00
  Watch the Disney film Loop about autism, and this is what I
• 0:03
  thought of it. Hey guys, welcome back to the
• 0:05
  hospital or to my name is done. I have autism and I make videos
• 0:08
  on this type of content every single week.
• 0:10
  So if you don't want to miss a video, remember to hit that
• 0:12
  follow button to see more videos just like this.
• 0:14
  Okay, so I decided to watch the Disney film Loop because
• 0:18
  basically I'd come across this movie.
• 0:20
  It's a Disney short films. I don't.
• 0:22
  If you guys are familiar with Disney shorts, but basically
• 0:24
  they make these like nine minute 10 minute videos that are hosted
• 0:28
  on the Disney plus platform, which is It's like their new
• 0:30
  on-demand streaming platform. They launched late 2019 or early
• 0:33
  2020. I can't remember which one when
• 0:36
  it landed in the UK. But anyway, since then I've been
• 0:38
  wanting to get onto the shot on those two of them on that.
• 0:40
  I will do a review of the other one, but for now, I'm just
• 0:42
  talking a lot about the film called Loop.
• 0:45
  Now, this film Loop takes the story of a young boy who is are
• 0:50
  in a canoe class with a young girl who is nonverbal autistic.
• 0:53
  And this little boy has to help her and go through the, the
• 0:57
  canoe, you know, get get onto the lake in a canoe with her.
• 1:00
  Go out. This is a completely animated
• 1:01
  movie. By the way.
• 1:02
  This is not real life action or anything like that.
• 1:04
  And this girl is non nonverbal autistic and she has like a
• 1:08
  mobile phone with her and she like listens to like a
• 1:10
  repetitive ringtone all time. It's like wolf were for, then
• 1:13
  she hits it and Taps it which is really good.
• 1:15
  Now, to me this film showed something.
• 1:16
  Instantly that like technology, the relationship between
• 1:19
  technology and repetitive stim noise Behavior to help cam
• 1:22
  people and see the people on the autism spectrum was actually
• 1:24
  very, very strong. And was actually one of the only
• 1:26
  times I'd seen this quite well represented in the media.
• 1:29
  Via the film is really soft low tone.
• 1:33
  It's very kind of calming and relaxing.
• 1:36
  Now something that really is interesting.
• 1:38
  Is that there's a relationship building that where this young
• 1:40
  boy doesn't know anything about this young girl.
• 1:42
  Renee her name is and they're trying to communicate and
• 1:45
  obviously Renee has communication difficulties
• 1:46
  because he's on the autism spectrum.
• 1:48
  And this young boy has never really dealt with anyone in your
• 1:50
  system Spectrum as it appears in this movie.
• 1:52
  And so he tries to communicate with her and she wants to use
• 1:55
  the bathroom. And so he's like you have to
• 1:57
  tell me what you want. So she gets like a picture of an
• 1:59
  emoji. All the poop emoji and shows
• 2:01
  that to him presented him on the phone.
• 2:03
  And when she does that, he was like, okay, I'll take you to the
• 2:05
  toilet. So you like get over to the
• 2:08
  river that the toilet here by the river would have got like
• 2:11
  some porta-potties are. But on the way there there's big
• 2:13
  reads and she like glider hands through the Reeds which is
• 2:15
  really Century pleasing. Like, you know, going with the
• 2:18
  wind and gliding your hands through that sensory, kind of
• 2:21
  Action. Now by doing that.
• 2:23
  She she's obviously stimming and getting some real enjoyment.
• 2:27
  I would do in this Century activity and she tricked him to
• 2:29
  go there. The toilet to do that which is
• 2:31
  really funny and he gets a, you know, I you know, you tricked me
• 2:34
  and all this kind of stuff which is really fun.
• 2:35
  They were good fun with it. And then you she allows him to
• 2:39
  try some of that as well. Like she tries him to get him to
• 2:44
  enjoy the stimming, which she, which really does do.
• 2:47
  And he really enjoys it. Now going to the fact that, you
• 2:51
  know, there's a relationship and a bond growing there, which is
• 2:52
  really nice showing that the communication isn't always about
• 2:55
  talking or pictures. It's about feelings.
• 2:57
  And because of that, and actually gives a real actual It
• 3:00
  official site to autism, and the fact that you can communicate
• 3:03
  with people. I just love that.
• 3:05
  Now, the film does touch on a few major topics.
• 3:08
  Now, obviously one on being stimming one being nonverbal.
• 3:11
  I mean, above all else. The fact that this is a, you
• 3:13
  know, a mixed race or woman of color or girl of color, and it's
• 3:17
  a girl, I love that. I love that.
• 3:18
  They are dead. Including people now, it's not
• 3:20
  just like, you know, why English dudes, you know, okay.
• 3:23
  No her yellow. I'm white English, gave us
• 3:26
  autism, but in terms of this movie, it was really nice to
• 3:28
  see. Now, another Layover, come in.
• 3:31
  This movie is the autism. Meltdowns do autism, meltdowns.
• 3:35
  People don't know how when people are over stimulated by
• 3:38
  the the sensory input around them.
• 3:40
  And it causes them to go into kind of like a very emotional
• 3:45
  state where they don't know what to do and then they kind of just
• 3:47
  kind of shut down but it have an emotional outburst.
• 3:50
  And so in this movie, this actually happens because she
• 3:52
  loses her mobile phone and they're playing with the boat
• 3:56
  and then they crash onto like this beach and and he has to
• 3:58
  kind of figure out. Out what on Earth to do because
• 4:01
  this young boy has no idea, no experience with autism.
• 4:03
  Basically. All he does is he just sits
• 4:05
  there and says look, I'll wait it out with you and I'll sit
• 4:08
  here and be your friend and he does he sits there and then she
• 4:11
  kind of calms down. She comes comes around and then
• 4:14
  she has this kind of almost like a nice respect.
• 4:17
  And that respect is unreciprocated because she wants
• 4:19
  to come into the boat and then go out on the boat and they go
• 4:21
  and play. And they go back home and it's a
• 4:23
  lovely story. Now, you know, this movie
• 4:26
  highlights a lot of insight. One of the things it does do is
• 4:28
  it shows from her perspective, what?
• 4:30
  Like being in a century over stimulated world, where things
• 4:33
  are a bit hazy and noises and colors are more like flashes.
• 4:35
  And they're very much more crazy than the average person kind of
• 4:40
  seasoned, you know, everything's chaotic.
• 4:42
  And it was a lovely thing to see because I think that more people
• 4:45
  need to see movies that. I like that because how else do
• 4:49
  you get an insight into autistic people's lives.
• 4:51
  There's only so much I can do here.
• 4:52
  Visually, when I'm talking to you on, blogging, this stuff and
• 4:55
  vlogging it with videos, but in terms of Disney's it creative
• 4:58
  Outlets, I think it was fantastic.
• 5:00
  I don't know who consulted with them on this movie.
• 5:02
  I highly recommend checking it out.
• 5:04
  I will leave a link for it in description down below.
• 5:06
  But above all else. I think that it's important to
• 5:08
  see. There's a few different things
• 5:09
  going on, a, you know, a multicultural background, a
• 5:12
  young girl, nonverbal autism, you know, showing that language,
• 5:17
  barriers are, can be broken down with other things, you know, you
• 5:20
  don't have to be trained in autism to communicate with
• 5:21
  somebody on the Spectrum, but it does help obviously showing that
• 5:24
  autistic people just need a little bit of time, you know,
• 5:27
  having that along that extra little buffer where he He sat
• 5:30
  with her and waited it out rather than shout at her.
• 5:32
  I become distressed or in other movies, which I will not mention
• 5:36
  to people restrain them and you know, that they're just bad
• 5:39
  tactics of those. The some other movies used.
• 5:41
  So this one's really, really good.
• 5:43
  Now if you want trying to create a movie to try to explain autism
• 5:46
  and a very, like, light way, where it's not so harsh to
• 5:49
  watch. It's not so emotionally
• 5:52
  difficult to watch. This is a great one, and it's a
• 5:54
  great one to show anybody who try to try to really understand
• 5:56
  autism, especially from a nonverbal point of view, I would
• 6:00
  Mend showing this to people, if you want to shoot, if anyone
• 6:02
  asked you to hold. Can you explain about autism?
• 6:04
  I take ya watch Loop, you know, it's a great movie, you know,
• 6:07
  so, if I was to write this movie out of 10, I did would give this
• 6:11
  movie about a 9 out of 10. On the reason.
• 6:13
  I only give it a 9 out of 10 because it didn't go on long
• 6:15
  enough. I think if it was a little bit
• 6:16
  longer, they could have Incorporated a little bit more
• 6:18
  into the story of more of her issues and more of her traits of
• 6:22
  autism. And I think that would have
• 6:23
  explained loads more to the viewer, the average view, who
• 6:26
  maybe has no information about the autism spectrum on, no back.
• 6:30
  Not ISM, but saying that it was a great movie.
• 6:32
  Disney did an absolute solid making this one and there is
• 6:35
  another movie which I'm going to be watching.
• 6:38
  I think it's called float and that's a another short about an
• 6:42
  autistic child and I will be watching that and doing a review
• 6:45
