  THANK YOU! Finally some good autistic rep!

  Seriously though, as someone on the spectrum, it is frustratingly difficult to find any representation, let alone GOOD representation. Therefore, having such excellent autistic rep in something as high-profile as a Pixar short makes unbelievably happy. More than that though, Loop is a beautiful short film that shows the importance of empathy and communication in resolving issues; as well as telling a remarkably engaging story in its own right.

  First of all, I adore how they handled Renee and her story. Though I'm not non-verbal myself and thus don't deal with as extreme communication issues as Renee does; I still found her struggles to be very much relatable to my own experience. In…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  In just 7 or so minutes, the Pixar SparkShort LOOP might've done so much more for us autistics than seemingly most borderline-exploitative Hollywood films made in the last 5-10 years. At the very least, it's good representation, and I have A LOT to say about it...

  To start, I am autistic, but I am not a non-verbal autistic person, so maybe I shouldn't speak for the majority of my kind on whether this is a step forward in portrayal or not. However, I feel that it did so much right, as I felt a lot of it rung true.

  One element that I feel that the short nailed was the fact that some of us autistics experience or have experienced…

  Review by Michael Strong ★★★★★

  I don't reveal this, but I'm autistic. Asperger's Syndrome to be precise. So if there's a character in any form of media who's on the spectrum, I tend to judge it on how that form of media portrays it and this short does a spectacular job doing so.

  I know some other people on the spectrum who are very similar to the main character, Renee; doesn't talk, gets overwhelmed very easily, and relies on something so simple like a continuous loop of the sound of a phone to cheer her up. So to pair her up with a talkative boy does open up a fascinating conflict that ends on learning about communication and understanding someone else who is different than you.

  Out of all the SparkShorts Pixar has created lately, this is one of my favorites and I do hope they make more in the future.

  Review by Nick ★★

  It's great that Pixar is portraying autistic characters, and non-verbal ones at that, and, as someone with a special needs brother who didn't speak for the first seven years of his life, some parts hit close to home. But it left me with nothing in the end, and the message was kind of annoying. It's basically saying that special needs people are there to be cradled and catered to, and have nothing of value to personally add into the world. Of course I'm going into this with a ridiculous amount of bias, but I hate how these stories always have to focus on the quote-unquote "regular" character and their plight in having to "deal with" the special needs character. The…

  Glad that Pixar doesn't make us wait for a new feature length film to give us these shorts anymore. This was really nice and I feel like kids would benefit from seeing autistic characters on screen more often.
