To get the sound of the capybara, the sound engineer had to go to a zoo and tickle capybaras
Tale
The cat is a solitary animal, but when his home is devastated by a major flood, he finds refuge on a boat populated by various species, and must team up with them despite their differences. The crew was very adamant that all the “voices” be done by real animals, so they recorded real animals for the film.
Before last year, I wasn’t particularly drawn to films without dialogue, as I found them a bit boring and pretentious
However, the real capybara sounds didn’t fit the personality that the capybara character would have, so they used a baby camel for this one. That perception changed drastically after discovering “Robot Dreams” at the Melbourne Film Festival last year, which quickly became my favourite film of all time.
“Flow” This film reinforced my appreciation for this style
This experience opened my eyes to the potential depth and intrigue of dialogue-free storytelling. The film tells the story of a cat whose life is turned upside down by a massive flood, leading to an unexpected and touching alliance with a diverse group of animals: a capybara, a bird, a lemur, and a dog.
What really stood out to me was the meticulous attention to detail in depicting each animal’s behavior and interactions
The premise of the film is completely unique, unlike anything I’ve seen before, and it brings a fresh and whimsical feel to the genre. The creators of the film clearly did extensive research to ensure the authenticity of each species’ characteristics, resulting in animations that are not only accurate but incredibly engaging.
