Why This Movie: Flow
Why did we add the 2024 Animated Film “Flow” to Stick Figure Movie Trivia?
Since the first time I watched “My Neighbor Totoro,” I have been a fan of Studio Ghibli’s films, several of which are in Stick Figure Movie Trivia. These films are the pinnacle of drawn 2D animated films, in my opinion.
Flow is not a Studio Ghibli film; it isn’t 2D animation. However, the film manages to evoke the feel of a Studio Ghibli production and the sweetness of a ‘Totoro.’ What’s more, it manages this without a line of dialog. I also believe that maintaining the mystery of the disappearance of all humans aids in focusing the viewer on the drama that unfolds.
The animal characters are humorous, kind, and brave. The scenes and action are mesmerizing.
After watching this film, I had to add it to the game.
Note:
Flow is a collaborative production involving several studios:
Dream Well Studio: Founded by director Gints Zilbalodis.
Sacrebleu Productions: A French studio co-produced the film, contributing to its animation and production processes.
Take Five: A Belgian studio involved in the co-production, supporting various aspects of the film's development.
