Flicks in the Park is presented by VTIFF and Burlington City Arts
The 2025 Oscar winner, Best Animated Film!
A wondrous journey through realms natural and mystical, this wordless animated masterpiece follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. From the boundless imagination of the award-winning filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis (Away) comes a thrilling animated spectacle, as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of community. Made on open-source animation software, the film is especially appealing to dogs and cats; the internet is loaded with videos of household pets held rapt by the film.
