"Flow" won an Academy Award for best animation film last night. Beating out other great studio efforts, expensive big big studio films.

In accepting the award, the makers thanked Blender. Blender is the software the film was created on.

Blender is free. Blender is another free and open software project.

You can use it. Make a film, win an Oscar. They did. You don't even have to thank Blender, but it sure was nice to hear it on the Oscars Stage, winning.

@kevinrns@mstdn.social it was also funded by Warner Bros for $5 million and killed other movies for profit. This is not something to celebrate. #blender #flow #movie

What could you possibly be talking about?

And flow, made in Lativia , cost about 4 million to make.

Its a great reason to celebrate, every step of its journey a delight.

And Warner was not involved, and finally:

"No Films were killed in the making of this Animation."
No Cats either.
