Movie #3424 ........................."Flow" (Max )

 Movie #3424 "Flow" (Max)  -- this film is nominated for two oscars -- animated feature and foreign film.  I don't think it will win either one, but it is a lovely film and surprisingly without any dialogue.  It follows a cat who goes through all kinds of struggles with nature, including weather and other animals.  There's a tsunami, fires, attack of birds, where one of them defends him/her (not sure on cat's gender). But it's not all bad --- he/she learns he/she can lean on other animals, who aren't notoriously friendly with a cat --- like the cute dog that just wants to play with the cat through most of the movie.  It's really cute in some places, scary in the next --- and it flows quite smoothly on this adventure with the cat.  I thought it was a tad long, but I think many kids (and adults)  would enjoy this one.  I'd give it a 3.8 and recommend it.

"FLOW"        2024    PG    1 hour and 25 mins

Cat is a solitary animal, but as its home is devastated by a great flood, he finds refuge on a boat populated by various species, and will have to team up with them despite their differences.
