Flow

I just watched Flow and I think it's the best animated feature at least for 2024.


It did so much with no dialogue and the camera kept me engaged throughout. I got Ico vibes from this and I believe that game is an artistic masterpiece.


My only gripe with this film is who they cast for the capybara! I'd prefer silence.

 

“We tried to record a capybara, but they don’t really speak. They’re very silent. They only make noise when you tickle them. So it was one person’s very fun job to tickle a capybara. But the sound was really high-pitched and sounded more like an anxious small dog. It didn’t fit the character. So we looked around for another animal and, after a long kind of search, we settled on this baby camel. So the capybara is actually voiced by a baby camel. ”
