A massive flood forces a cat out of his home and sets him on a survival quest alongside other animals, including a capybara, a lemur, a Labrador dog, and a secretary bird. For unknown reasons, humans are absent, leaving behind crumbling buildings and various handicrafts—one of which is the sailboat the protagonists climb to avoid drowning.

Stellar cast has never been greater. A cornerstone.
