>Flow is an artsy one-off that can't be replicated. Do the same thing and you'll just be making a soulless rip-off. They should actually be looking to animated movies made on the cheap. Paw Patrol movies are made for like $26M and look as good as Illumination movies. Animate for that budget but with scripts made for older kids and you'll be golden.
The director of Luca is making a Pixar movie that's ripping off Flow called Gatto, about a black cat who wants to be an artist. The director claims he was working on this for years, but it was only announced after Flow won an academy award.
