Flow (2024)

While it's a really chill watch full of strong animation, nice visuals, cool moments and adorable animals, there's not really any plot and it ends up feeling like watching someone play an incredibly impressive 80 minute videogame 'tram ride'. Also, while the world is intriguing - I wanted to go visit that windmill, work out what that key was for etc - it didn't feel hugely imaginative, it was pretty much South America jungle/temple setting with a +10% fantasy bump. So I would recommend it but I think it got a more enthusiastic response than it perhaps deserved, at least online, due to being not just  another Dreamworks snarkfest and to centring around a cat.

Rating: lovely but shallow
