Flow was an incredibly beautiful film. Truly the only thing I've watched for a couple years that felt genuinely hopeful.
Excellent animation, creative storytelling, and not a single spoken (or written) word.
Currently streaming on Max.
As a gigantic fan of animation as an artform, I don't think I would have picked Flow as the best animated feature. The film's third act never really congeals and the movie just ends abruptly. I'm not the kind of narrative purist that insists on bulletproof storytelling, but when a film is in the running against multiple strong contenders that tell a solid story (Memoir of a Snail was my favorite this year), it's hard to justify the win.
But I think I know what the Academy is doing. They're eager to put this award into the hands of ANYBODY churning out animated fare that's different from the same old Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks products year after year.
The potatoes...!
I was kind of rooting for Wallace and Gromit based entirely on nostalgia. I need to watch Flow and a few other oscar winners that I missed this year.
I haven't seen Wallace & Grommet but Flow deserves all the cred it's getting - beautiful film.
