Flushed Away (2006)
| Directors: | David Bowers, Sam Fell |
| Actors: | Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Jean Reno, Kate Winslet, Bill Nighy, Andy Serkis, Shane Richie, Kathy Burke, David Suchet, Miriam Margolyes |
Roddy is a decidedly upper-crust society mouse who lives the life of a beloved pet in a posh Kensington flat. When a sewer rat named Sid comes spewing out of the sink and decides he's hit the jackpot, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the whirlpool. Sid may be an ignorant slob, but he's no fool, so it is Roddy who winds up being flushed away into the bustling sewer world of Ratropolis. There Roddy meets Rita, an enterprising scavenger who works the sewers in her faithful boat, the Jammy Dodger. Roddy immediately wants out, or rather, up; Rita wants to be paid for her trouble; and, speaking of trouble, the villainous Toad - who royally despises all rodents equally, making no distinction between mice and rats - wants them iced ... literally. The Toad dispatches his two hapless hench-rats, Spike and Whitey, to get the job done. When they fail, the Toad has no choice but to send to France for his cousin - that dreaded mercenary, Le Frog.

Loved this movie, very funny. Great for kids and adults alike. Great message in it -money does not make you happy, friends and family do.
Colin Y.
says
This movie had some great comedic moments. Loved the singing slugs. Well worth renting this movie just for some of the musical numbers sprinkled throughout.

Worth Watching - It's good to be... not really that poor and happy rather than rich loney and happy.

great animation and clever little script. I wonder could DVD manufacturers/studios STOP putting errors onto DVD's though? Not every player handles them very well and it SERIOUSLY disturbs my viewing pleasure
stimpy
says
Great graphics. Poor story line.
Sheena K.
says
so well animated for children but also a great family movie for all ages!!
Linda E.
says
Despite the wonderful voice-overs and some good animation, the plot lacked pace. We lost interest and switched off half way through. Probably fun for kids.
Toni M.

Kay M.
says
Really good, characters all very likeable (even the bad guys) and animation brilliant. Made the characters look like the Aardman Animation models - Wallace and Grommit all over again!

My 7 year old and 2 year old loved this movie. I however wasn't that impressed...
I found the jokes too few and far between.

Heather S.
says
wonderfull movie for kid's & adult's
would receomend it to anyone
Andrew H.
says
Irated this animated feature better than Over The Hedge but not as good as the Pixar films such as Monsters Inc or Toy Story. Enjoyable nonetheless with some good gags and references to other movies. Ian McKellan as the frog gangster is terrific and Jean Reno as his henchman is great fun.
Jan K.
says

excellent movie!! my 7 year old thought it was very funny.
Wayne W.
says
I'm a great fan of much in this genre but this is just a kids movie. Rat in a guilded cage living as a pet of a rich little kid is flushed down the toilet and has to mix it in the "real world". I thought that this was from the writer's of Shrek. If so, what a disappointment as it lacks the witty dialogue and great characterisations. Even the great CGI couldn't keep me interested. Strictly for the under 12's.
Anabel D.

one for the kids
Fiona M.

A very entertaining movie for both BIG & SMALL people, great story line with good humour for all to grasp.I would watch it again.
Christine G.
says
A little 'kiddie' but good for a couple of laughs. Easy to watch but not the best animated movie in recent times.

This was an excellent movie. My 4 year old Grand daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it for anyone. Lots of laughs, very clever details, though simple enough for little ones to understand. Good for young and old and all in between.

kids loved it
Raymond M.
says
What a great kids movie. The computer generated graphics are something not to be missed. Is equal to In season, the lion king and many more. Don't miss this one or the kids will never forgive you.

Matthew B.

A wonderful movie for kids and adults alike. Great animation and top quality voice casting. An easy story to follow with lots of funny bits, particularly the slugs that interupt the action with songs and comments just when you need a giggle!

Good humour, great cast and the great look from the creators of Wallace & Grommit. Kids loved it, adults enjoyed it. Recommended.

An incredibly funny family movie that everyone will enjoy. They should make a lot more movies like this that are straight forward wholesome family entertainment. Don't miss it !
Geraldine G.

The kids loved this movie. some really funny sections and then some not so funny ones. Great kids movie. Also got a laugh or two from me. Would hire this again.
Jules
says
Hilarious from start to finish. Brilliant script for a kids' movie which will amuse the grown-ups as much as the children. Lots of comedy, great characters and the action keeps the story rolling along at a cracking pace.
Marg O.
says
Thoroughly enjoyable with all the Aardman touches.
Aminah C.

Fabulous. Multi layered. The kids loved it. They must have played it six times
across the week end. Much for the parents to enjoy as well.
