Flow

A solitary cat must team up with an unlikely pack to survive a great flood in this animated masterpiece that won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.

After a devastating flood wipes out his home, a black cat drifts alone across the vast, waterlogged landscape on a small sailboat. Along the way, he teams up with an unlikely pack, including a labrador, a capybara, a lemur and a secretary bird – each with its own instincts and survival methods. The animals must learn to coexist if they are to survive.

Entirely dialogue-free, Flow takes the audience on a perilous journey as the animal characters navigate an array of challenges and dangers while adapting to their new world.

The very creation of Flow itself is an unlikely story of triumph against the odds. Created by a tiny team of animators on a minuscule budget, it was rendered entirely on free open-source 3D software Blender. Since then, the film has completely defied industry expectations – premiering at Cannes Film Festival, winning over 50 international awards and securing the Oscar for Best Animated Feature earlier this year.
