What is Flow about?
The film is set in a world where humanity has vanished, and a massive flood threatens the animals that remain. We follow an adorable black cat who, seeking refuge, ends up on a sailboat with a diverse group of furry and feathery creatures: a capybara, a lemur, a secretary bird, and a Labrador Retriever. Together, they embark on a journey of survival, learning to overcome their differences in a world reclaimed by nature.
Why do pets love it?
In many animal-based stories, the animals have the ability to talk. Think for example of Finding Nemo, Zootropolis, or Paddington. What sets Flow apart is that the animals communicate in a much more authentic way, making only animal noise! The cat meows, purrs and hisses while the dog pants, growls, and barks—you get the idea. These sounds, all recorded from real animals, bring an added layer of realism that didn’t go unnoticed by our furry friends.
5-paw reviews from around the world
While Flow is playing in cinemas in many countries, the animated feature is also available for streaming on HBO Max, allowing viewers to enjoy it from the comfort of their homes. This is how many people discovered that their pets were captivated by the film! On TikTok, you can find numerous hilarious videos of pets reacting to the on-screen action. When one of our coworkers tried watching Flow with her dog and two cats, the animals quickly became mesmerized—the dog barked at the on-screen dogs, while one of the cats stayed fixated on the movie for the full 1 hour and 25 minutes.
