"Flow" (2024) Simple Yet STUNNING Animation!

Flow (Latvian: Straume) is a 2024 animated adventure fantasy film directed by Gints Zilbalodis and written by Zilbalodis and Matīss Kaža.

A solitary cat, displaced by a great flood, finds refuge on a boat with various species and must navigate the challenges of adapting to a transformed world together.

The film was produced with financial support from the National Film Centre of Latvia, the State Culture Capital Foundation of Latvia, the Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée, ARTE France, Eurimages, RTBF, and the Belgian Tax Shelter. Animation for the film was completed in France and Belgium.

Flow is notable for being completely rendered on the open-source software Blender.

It was selected as the Latvian entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.

This is one of the best animated movies of all time. Every frame is a painting. The animation is flawless. The pace is never dull. The story is intriguing.

Loved it, just got home after seeing it for the seventh time! It’s run has been extended and I hope to catch it a couple more times in the theater before it’s gone.

While the animals learn to bond and have human characteristics (mostly navigating the boat and collaborating), there are times that Flow reminds you the cat is a cat. There's the scene with the lemur wagging it's long tail. The cat treats it like a string and bats at it, or when the lemur is doing something with the mirror that's causing the light to focus as a beam on the inside of the boat. The cat pounces at it like it's a laser pointer. This was mostly done with the cat and dog which most people have some familiarity with while the other animals have behavior that fewer people know.

The film left a pleasant feeling, there were no drastic events, it seemed rather flowing, meditative - in a positive sense. The title of the film describes the mood of the film very well. The child also liked it and has already watched it twice. It is worth watching in a cinema on the big screen to enjoy the beautiful animated natural landscapes and sound.

lmao you can instantly age someone based on their Homeward Bound reference. BTW, I totally thought the same thing - even though this version is immensely more complex, heartfelt, and thematic.
