MCT:July 26, 2008Surprisingly good action comedy about the accidental hero who meets up with the adventure girl and gets stuck in the evil guys master plan and must fight his goons. Its fast paced and its got the right element of humor. I like the way that the animated movies captures the feeling of Hollywood classic genre and makes it their own. You can without problem see what this movie would be like if it wasnt animated.

Short and pacey, Flushed Away doesn't have time to set up its characters or plot in enough detail, making it feel empty.
The moral is obviously that being lonely is bad and lots of friends and family is good, however, especially with Aardman's Wallace & Gromit The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit in mind, it comes across as being rich and posh is bad and common as muck is good, and frankly, this is quite offensive.
Roddy is a pet mouse from Kensington who is flushed down the toilet when a nasty sewer mouse, Sid, breaks into his home. Roddy quickly gets embroiled with a villain plot that doesn't really matter and meets sewer mouse Rita who has a huge family. What is not set up is Roddy's relationship with Tabitha, the little girl who looks after him. This vital element of what a pet?s life if like being missing makes Roddy's desire to be like Rita seem like a fad. We never see Roddy's life, so cannot know why he should want to change it. Instead we are only given a view of pets from the sewer mice, who know nothing of this life and can't judge. Perhaps the makers of the film have never had a pet, and do not understand the close bond that can form. Perhaps they are too busy hating posh people.
Aardman's plasticine-animation style doesn't sit quite right with Dreamworks' lazy computer animation, and Roddy's permanent grin and lack of resemblance to a mouse is slightly annoying, whereas had this been stop-motion it would be endearing and impressive.
Flushed Away is filled with little jokes, details and references that are very hit and miss, so it is down to the individual whether they spend it cracked up with hysterical laughter, or stony faced. But it definitely needs to be longer and more developed. -

This movie is a pretty good. I understand why it didn't do so well because it had more adult themes behind the plot line so a child wouldn't have really gotten it.

MCT:July 15, 2008i was haggin out witha 7 year old and wanted to watch this movie so i watched it with him. i was surprised. it was a lot better than i expted it to be. the slugs were the best part

MCT:July 6, 2008This was good humor and funny and creative story. Loved it thru and thru.
Cute movie for anyone to see.

I absolutely loved the little slugs in this, quite comical. It sure wasn't great, but it was a good laugh, also with adult jokes which made it well good for all the family. (Y)

flushed away was a great family movie it was well created and the best part to me in ti was how amazingly the slugs could sing songs from famous singers, me and my dad found it great!!!! Lol my dad thought the rats were dogs hahah dont get me wrong they kind of did. my favourite character in flushed away was the slugs dont get me wrong they looked so funny wen they tried to get away that was funny! another thing about that i like about the slugs were that they were even more terrified of nearly everything!LOL it was a freat movie!

I thought the movie was funny, but what made the movie that extra bit special is Aardmans attention to detail once again. This is a film you could watch again and spot so many new little things. I'm pretty sure I saw Gromits head from Wallace and Gromit at one point.

Cute, I bet Disney wishes they had got this one- but there were too many "potty" jokes. The wallace and gromit style humor and animation was apperciated by us 'Rents but it wasn't enough to make us buy it - renting is fine.

I completely agree with Prime! on this. This is just a fun film with "color and genuine love." So what if had a million parts that we have seen before. It knows and it and knows we know it so it has fun. The slugs add a great fun and hilarity to it all and Ian McKellen as the big evil toad sounds like he enjoying being the heavy. Jackman even lets loose a small little song which I thoroughly enjoyed with the Slugs chorus in the background. It even has a strong female lead of sorts with Winslet as the captain.

very charming movie, but not as good as id hoped.
Despite getting the first laugh within minutes of the opening (which is very unusual) this film had long stretches where either not much seemed to be happening, or not much interesting.
I did enjoy the movie and it was hilariously funny at times, and clever too (the falling picture lol).
very much a family movie, with parts children will find funny as well as intelligent jokes for the adults.
a definite watch -

My prejudice thought it would stupid. However it turned out to be a very decent animated 3D movie, which is rare this days.

Clever animated film with a talented voice cast, but hardly something that matches up with the likes of any of the Pixars.

I started watching this film thinking it wasn't going to be very good but I was wrong. It was a pretty funny film and I couldn't help laughting at those slugs that kept appearing. A great film for the kids.

An animated tale with more invention and laughs in its first 15 minutes than in Cars and Monster House put together.

Like most other childrens movies of today, Flushed Away becomes a tad bit boring after a while. The story doesn't quite make it all the way through.
However, it is a great film for both kids and adults, and the slugs are awesome. They are what keeps the movie going just like the penguins in Madagascar.
Oh, and was there anybody else besides me who thought the rat Sid reminded you of Robbie Williams? :)
