Not to knock this film (I LOOOOOOVED it), but are we sure what's going on in this movie is climate change?

That was my interpretation! A group banding together despite a world that's being destroyed around them I found pretty inspiring. I could be off, but I thought it was a nice way of portraying something so existentially terrifying in a way not shoved down our throats, say Don't Look Up!

Oh, well, metaphorically, yes. But I feel like, literally, within the story there's something else going on, right? Didn't the bird get sucked up into something? Aliens?

Oh, my bad, haha. Sorry. Yes, it seems like there are some cosmic entities or magic going on here, causing the world to behave the way it does! Maybe its a leftovers situation and people who are good ascend to a great beyond of some sort!

I dunno. That bird seemed like a JERK.

I liked Flow more than Wild Robot! While Flow might not be as technically flashy, the basic struggle for survival between different animal types was really inspiring!

Totally agree! The connection and heartfelt moments hit harder for me!
