Art Imitating Life: A Conversation with the Creator of Pixar's Float
Episode description
In this episode of the Not Your Mama's Autism Podcast, I speak with Bobby Rubio, Pixar director of the 2019 animated short film, Float. Earlier this year, Bobby spoke with me about the movie and his son, Alex, the inspiration behind the film. We talked about how being a parent to a child on the autism spectrum sparked the idea behind the film, the importance of representation in media, cultural stigma attached to an autism diagnosis, family life and the evolution he made as a dad to embrace the fullness of who his son is.
For those who have not yet seen the short film, it is available on Disney + .
