With the Oscars coming on March 2, the race for best animated feature is heating up big time with the wide release of "Flow," a visionary masterpiece from Latvia that is sure to give category favorites like "The Wild Robot" and "Inside Out 2" a run for the gold.

Now streaming on Max, the animated movie Flow originally had a different message — and a very different animal cast member

One of the surprises of the awards season is Gints Zilbalodis' "Flow" - the dialog-free tale of a solitary cat's emotional journey as it learns to survive after a great flood - which upended the feature animation race when it won the Golden Globe.

Flow”—the acclaimed animated cat movie that’s been nominated for a Best Animated Feature Oscar—is coming soon to streaming on Max. Find out when you can watch it at home.
