On this day in 2020, the Pixar short ‘Loop’ was released on Disney+ as part of the ‘SparkShorts’ series. On a canoe trip, chatty Marcus is paired with quiet Renee, who has sensory processing differences. During their journey across an urban lake, they discover how empathy and mutual effort can bridge gaps between people. ‘Loop’ explores inclusivity and the power of shared experiences. It was the first Pixar project to feature a non-verbal autistic character. [5 years ago in 2025]
