A jingkids reader gave us a fantastic tip – bring your kids to see Flow! And boy, was she right! This animated film is the perfect kid-friendly escape. Set in a fantasy world that seems to be coming to an end and teeming with the vestiges of a human presence. Cat is a solitary animal, but as his home is devastated by a great flood, he finds refuge on a boat populated by various species and has to team up with them despite their differences. In the lonesome boat sailing through mystical overflowed landscapes, they navigate the challenges and dangers of adapting to this new world.
