This Year’s Oscar-Nominated Hit Animated Movie Is Streaming on Max Now
Despite another contender’s stronger chances, the flick might win that Oscar after all.
The Oscars ceremony is just around the corner as Hollywood’s awards season is also getting closer to its end this weekend, and some of the frontrunners for the Academy Award are gradually becoming more available for a wider public to watch.
Just like the previous award ceremonies made clear, nothing is certain in the ongoing race, though it doesn’t only concern the main categories.
Naturally, most of the Best Animated Feature Film nominees do seem to be potential winners, so we’d better have them all checked out before the ceremony unfolds this Sunday. Conveniently enough, one of those flicks is now streaming on Max.
You Can Now Watch Flow on Max
As some of the streamer’s users might have noticed, Max has recently added Gints Zilbalodis’s Flow to its collection, making it easier for the audiences to keep up with the Oscar race ahead of the ceremony.
The first Latvian representative in the history of the award, Flow is a groundbreaking animated feature about the idea of the world being a much better place if humanity was just washed away by the flood.
Flow has no dialogues and primarily follows a dark grey cat wandering around the post-apocalyptic world and suddenly realising that the problems for everyone aren’t over yet. As another flood emerges and threatens to now take surviving animals as its victims, the cat is joined by a dog, capybara and ring-tailed lemur as they collectively try to cooperate and save themselves from a disaster.
Flow Is 1 of 2 Possible Oscar Winners
Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024, Flow has remained a major hit ever since.
With a budget of around $3 million, the movie has earned $20 million in the box office worldwide; it also became a critical darling and the audiences’ favorite, securing scores of 97% and 98% respectively on Rotten Tomatoes.
Naturally, Flow also keeps showing up in the industry bet makers’ lists as one of the two potential winners, having chances almost equal to The Wild Robot. The Academy will announce the utter winner on March 2.
