Award-winning animated gem, Flow movie, is coming to Australian cinemas this month. 

Flow (Straume) is the first independent animated film to win the Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards. It follows a cat navigating a solitary life, only for a great flood to ruin his home.

Finding refuge on a boat, he meets other species also trying to survive. Adapting to a new world, they all work together despite their differences. 

Find out more about the Flow movie, including release date in Australia and where to watch on streaming.


The Flow movie, which was originally released in 2024 at the Cannes Film Festival, is finally making its premiere in Australia. You can watch Flow in the theatres Thursday, 20 March 2025.

Don’t miss Flow movie in Australia coming to theatres soon. Check out the trailer right here and catch a glimpse of the film’s irresistible charm. 

The 2024 animated film Flow is just about to premiere in Australian cinemas. With new films taking about three months (or longer) to debut on streaming TV, it’s likely for Flow to be streaming in Australia some time in June or July. It could also take longer, depending on factors like the box-office performance. 

We can, however, speculate that it will be streaming on Foxtel and Foxtel Now after its theatrical run and launch on pay per view (Apple TV, Google TV, Prime Video Store, Fetch). 

In the US, Flow is available for streaming on Max. With HBO’s streamer launching in Australia on 31 March 2025, it’s very likely that Flow will be added on the service after some time. In Australia, Max will be available for subscription and as part of your Foxtel or Foxtel Now plan.

Flow is about a dark grey cat who navigates a world now overrun with water following an enormous flood. Coming across a boat with a capybara already on board, their journey continues while meeting other species—a lemur, a bird, and a dog— seeking refuge along the way. 

Despite their glaring differences, they all team up in their collective efforts to survive, learning to trust each other and showing compassion for other species while they search for dry land. With newfound courage and adorable resourcefulness, the cat rises above every challenge brought upon by the “new world”. 

This independent film is a co-production between Latvia, France, and Belgium and directed by Gints Zilbalodis, who also co-wrote the story with Matīss Kaža.

It recently won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, beating Inside Out 2, The Wild Robot, Memory of a Snail, and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.
