I just watched the Oscar-winning animated movie Flow, and I am in total admiration of their work!

The story, concept, and background are truly breathtaking. The film follows a cat navigating a surreal, ever-changing world of water, where different animals must learn to adapt and survive. Through mesmerizing animation and a poetic, wordless narrative, Flow explores themes of resilience, transformation, and the beauty of life’s unpredictable journey.

This film beautifully presents the importance of being open to adventures, friendships, love, and the meaningful moments we experience in life.

It made me reflect deeply on my own animated story about friendship: I Don’t Want Superpowers – The Magical Island. 🏝

Animation has the power to create such a positive impact—it’s mind-blowing! But behind the magic, it’s an incredibly tedious and labor-intensive process that requires immense perseverance.

Watching Flow made me feel happy and hopeful. I hope you experience the same joy when you watch it!

Oh, and the protagonist is a cat—what’s not to love? 🐱
