"Flow," Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis' acclaimed movie, beat some heavy-hitters to win Best Motion Picture (Animated) at the 2025 Golden Globes.

The big picture: The 85-minute movie about a cat displaced by a flood won the award over two Disney films, the new "Wallace & Gromit" entry and "The Wild Robot."

What they're saying: Zilbalodis told Axios on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday why he chose to capture animals in their natural state for the film.

• "We looked at cat and dog videos. We wanted them to behave like animals, they don't speak, they don't tell jokes. ... I think animals are so funny and interesting, we don't need to change them," Zilbalodis said.

How to watch: "Flow" is still showing in theaters and will be available to rent or buy digitally this week.

Zoom out: Elsewhere at this year's Golden Globes, the Spanish-language Netflix movie "Emilia Pérez" won four awards — including a supporting actress honor for Zoe Saldana.

• "The Brutalist" won three film awards, including best drama.
• In the TV categories, "Hacks" was named best musical or comedy series and "Shogun" won best TV drama.
