A wondrous journey, through realms natural and mystical, FLOW follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood.
Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet.
From the boundless imagination of the award-winning Gints Zilbalodis (Away) comes a thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community.

Reviews
- "A movie brimming with sentiment but not sentimentality, this is one of the most moving animated films in recent memory, and, beyond that, groundbreaking too."
- IndieWire - "FLOW is a joy to experience but also a deeply affecting story, the work of a unique talent who deserves to be ranked among the world’s great animation artists."
- The Hollywood Reporter - "There are no human characters in FLOW and no dialogue beyond barks and squawks but the sense of peril is compelling, the visuals are impressive and the emotional spell it casts is captivating."
- Screen Daily - "The real takeaway is that we have to rely on each other for salvation. And it’s here where this experiential experiment in empathy, eco-activism and elation over the creative possibilities of a medium too often hijacked to sell toys truly hits its marks."
- Rolling Stone - "The animals act like real animals, not like cartoons or humans, and that restraint gives their adventure an authenticity that, in moments of both delight and peril, makes the emotion that much more powerful. With the caveat that I’m a cat lover, I was deeply moved."
- The New York Times - "In the subtle subtext of having a solitary creature like a cat find companionship in a boat full of animals who have lost their pack, their flock, or their herd, we will find a tender story about knowing where we are meant to be."
- Austin Chronicle - "Refusing to pander to its audience, FLOW is an animated adventure that is poignant, unique, absolutely gorgeous, and a must-see."
- Mashable - "Flow might be a digital confection, but it’s also open, alive, elemental. In every sense, it’s a breath of fresh air."
