Review

This surprising Latvian film follows a cat as its trying to survive in a catastrophic flood. The cat teams up with various other animals to survive the hostile world.

There is no dialogue in the entire film but the animation (made in Blender) is very expressive of the animal's moods. I especially like the subtle animal animations and the immersive music and sound design. The trade-off for the immersion is the slower pace but overall it's impressive what the filmmakers made with a relatively small budget (€3.5M).

Conclusion

A well-made animated cat film.

Overall rating: 7.4
