Just heard about this 2024 animated movie. Like Les Triplettes, it’s essentially wordless, but this time the characters are animals, seemingly set in a world abandoned by humans. Me, I’ve only watched clips so far, but from what I can tell, this is very much not an ‘anthro’ or cutesy, furry-animal kind of story. (much to my personal relief)

Flow is a 2024 independent animated dystopian adventure film directed by Gints Zilbalodis, written and produced by Zilbalodis and Matīss Kaža. A Latvian, French, and Belgian co-production, it features no dialogue and follows a cat trying to survive along with other animals in a seemingly post-apocalyptic world as the water level dramatically rises.
Production of Flow started in 2019 and lasted five and a half years. The animation was done using the free and open-source software Blender. Jacques Tati and Future Boy Conan served as inspirations for the film. No storyboards were used for the production, and there are no deleted scenes.

This movie was outstanding, and I would recommend it to anyone. Doubly so because there is nearly no spoken language. It’s a lot like watching Mr. Bean - it’s all physical comedy where body language and facial expressions tell the story. Same with Flow - the whole story is told through those mediums. Only difference is that Flow isn’t really a comedy, though it does have some funny parts.
I’d be curious to hear what you thought of the other movie I linked in there.
It may still be watchable for free on YT…
