'Flow' is an Oscar nominated, dialogue free, Lithuanian computer animated film about a group of animals from diverse species who ban together to escape a flood. There is a real purity and simplicity to this story, as Cat ends up on a boat with Capybara, and is later joined by Lemur, Golden Retriever, Secretarybird and a number of other dogs. That these animals are native to different areas around the world makes it hard to hit on a location for the action; however this might be explained by the films apparently post apocalyptic setting, we see traces of abandoned human civilization, but never any humans. However these hinted at ideas don't detract from the main theme and story, as this assortment of critters gradually becomes it's own family or pack. A refreshing picture, very different from the usual animated fair. I low key loved this. ***
