    We watched Flow this morning. The animated movie about the cat.

    Not quite as kid friendly as Wallace and Gromit, but an interesting movie. We had to leave early so I’m keen to see how it finishes.

    It’s dialogue free and doesn’t beat you over the head with story so it’s like watching a cinematic playthrough of a game like Journey. I want the boys to watch it when their a bit older to get their takes on the places, animals, and the world. It’s a great movie to get their minds going

      My gran’s nicest dog was called Flow, probably short for Florence. I remember cuddling with that dog on the porch at her place in Jerilderie.

        There’s a Labrador in the movie that has that same comfy friendly vibe. It’s nice when things like this movie can remind you of the good times with animals

      I have been avoiding it because from previews it looks like a sad movie where bad things happen to animals, so not something I want see in my current mood. I don’t actually know anything about it though, it’s the vibe I got? If you tell me it’s happy I’ll see it.

        It’s good and not too sad, but some of the ways they chose to block things makes it really stressful.

        It’s not 90 minutes of animated animal torture. The cat just needs to be continually put in a situation for the tension to keep up.

        We didn’t catch the end but it wasn’t overly sad up to that point. It has a really hopeful vibe and a lighter tone.

        It’s like, just because it’s an animated motive it’s not completely for kids.
