Out of My Mind | Official Trailer | Disney+

Let them hear you.

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.

“Out of My Mind,” a Disney Original movie based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Sharon M. Draper, premieres November 22 on Disney+.

This made me cry. I am a 57 year old with CP. Things have evolved so much from the time, I was a little girl. I am so happy for children with CP, that are getting the chance to live life in full.

I am an adult with Autism. I have a dear friend who has cerebral palsy and I read this book to them when it was published way back in 2012 (both of us are/were huge fans of the author). When I found out that this book was getting a film adaptation a couple years ago I was elated and was eager to show my friend it whenever it would be available. Unfortunately, my friend passed away last year at the age of 24 from a stroke, so to honor them, I will wear the t-shirt I made them while I watch it with their family in November. It'll be a good way to remember my superhero of a best friend and to see a favorite book of mine to be adapted to screen.

When she says "hi" to her dad...that just got me.

[gooseallie]

Just cried my eyes out. My daughter has CP, shes 3. And even though she’s only 3 she’s the smartest strongest little girl I’ve even met. She’s proved every doctor wrong and everyday makes me the happiest dad. This movie looks special and something people need to see. My daughter is wonderful and so are all the other children out there with cerebral palsy ❤

[kendal]

this shows my life 100%! I'm smart, I have cp, non-verbal, wheelchair bound. this is amazing Disney is finally showing people with cp n their movies

[rockero]

"Daddy, How are you today". those 5 seconds sold it to me 😭😭
THIS is the Disney I remember. can't wait 👍👍

[mikevarchetto]

This is absolutely awesome. I am a 41 year-old man with cerebral palsy myself and I am so glad to see Disney has recognized the importance of us who are differently abled being a true part of society.

[ChickencouchPotato]

I loved this book! It honestly made me cry, Melody proving that she's bigger than people think she is.

[ShyKnitter]

I have spastic CP and use a manual wheelchair. I’m 29 and in university studying psychology to become a therapist. I needed representation like this growing up. I’m excited to watch it. I also had to fight to go from special ed classroom to mainstream. I was bullied a lot in k-12, but once I hit college things got better

[SelbyTalley]

As a girl with health conditions, it’s so refreshing to finally see a character portrayed by an actor with health conditions themselves! Representation matters!

[rawyld]

As someone with Disability this is so important. This is making me cry as someone with Autism who has had a really tough time for the past 4yrs at medical science university and felt like I didn't belong to the university at all. I finally hit breaking point and had to dropped out because of my anxiety, it was a hard decision to do but my parents have been helping me through it every step of the way. Now I move onto and push the boundaries.

[TairaRink-ym]

I read it every year in my 5th grade class. Melody has become part of the fabric of their stories. The sequels are equally amazing. Can't wait!

[bandaide]

I used to be a childrens and teen bookseller so I would read books in the department to recommend. This one has stayed with me to this day. I am so thrilled to see it turned into a movie, it's such an important message. Just sobbed watching this trailer.

[LisaAerts]

Ok, sitting here, crying, and crying some more, my beautiful, amazing daughter has shown me everyday what life is about, what love is about, I am the luckiest mom to have her in my life.

[theonlyregito]

I am a father of twins with CP, autism, and cdls (epilepsy). This brought me to tears. It's difficult to witness, and its even harder on them. Knowing they want to communicate but struggle with it. We can't wait to watch this movie!

[jg]

I was in my head thinking “hmmm that voice sounds familiar” and then 0:20 hit me. That’s so sweet of Jennifer Anniston to speak for the girl 😭so sweet.

[Bitsy]

Disney should've released this in theaters, It Ends with Us proved the book clubs will go to the theaters

[ColinPMcEvoy]

I’m a father of a boy who is Autistic. This trailer got right to my heart. Some of us know what the challenges are and some of us don’t.

Those that don’t, watch this. If it’s like the book it will definitely make you cry.

[HadleyHarter]

I read this book in third grade. It just brought me memories of my teacher reading it to me right now. I’m in middle school. I just started six grade and this made me cry. I’m so excited for it to come out means the world to me.

[jillsarah]

I don't have cerebral palsy, but I am disabled and chronically ill. It's SO meaningful to me that they cast an actor with CP to play a character with CP. I SOBBED just from watching this trailer. I'm a member of multiple minority communities, and I won't lie, it's very, very tough. I have multiple chronic pain conditions and many other conditions, it's difficult. I also experience ableism often, from friends, family, and drs/healthcare workers. This representation is SO important. Disabled isn't a bad word. Needing Accessibility in education and elsewhere isn't "special, " it is normal. Invisible disabilities exist too! Everyone has SOME level of accessibility needs...eye glasses, stairs, cars, are all for accessibility.
