A new movie that looks to be full of heart is coming to Disney+. It is called Out of My Mind and tells the story of a young girl who has cerebral palsy and is nonverbal. However, she has a lot to say and the drive to say it. The trailer gives a look at this and was released ahead of World Cerebral Palsy Day, which is October 6. Out of My Mind is based on the bestselling novel by Sharon M. Draper. It premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. It will arrive on Disney+ on November 22, 2024.

About Out of My Mind
Melody Brooks, a sixth grader with cerebral palsy, has a quick wit and a sharp mind, but because she is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair, she is not given the same opportunities as her classmates. When a young educator notices her student’s untapped potential and Melody starts to participate in mainstream education, Melody shows that what she has to say is more important than how she says it.
The film stars newcomer Phoebe-Rae Taylor as Melody, alongside acclaimed actors Rosemarie DeWitt, Luke Kirby, Michael Chernus, Courtney Taylor and Judith Light. Jennifer Aniston portrays Melody’s inner voice.
“Out of My Mind,” from Disney Branded Television, is produced by Big Beach LLC, Participant Films, LLC and EveryWhere Studios LLC. The film is produced by Academy Award® nominee Peter Saraf, Robert Kessel, Dan Angel and Michael B. Clark; Amber Sealey (“No Man of God”) directs from an adapted screenplay written by Daniel Stiepleman (Humanitas Prize winner for “On the Basis of Sex”); executive producers are Jeff Skoll, Eddie Rubin, Leah Holzer, Tom Mazza, David Calvert Jones, Brian Gott and Alex Turtletaub. Film consultants include Richard Ellenson, Thomas Ellenson, Lawrence Carter-Long and the disability-led nonprofit organization RespectAbility.
