Flow

Recommended for grades 5-8

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. Steeped in the soaring possibilities of visual storytelling, Flow is a feast for the senses and a treasure for the heart.

This beautiful animated film contains no dialogue, instead sharing its story through handcrafted images and an emotional score.

Consider this animated narrative film if you are exploring communication through images and sound, or themes of teamwork, overcoming obstacles, and adventure.

Winner of the 2025 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature

"One of the most moving animated films in recent memory, and, beyond that, groundbreaking too."
Christian Blauvelt, 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."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
