While I am not entirely sure why the creators of Wallace and Gromit decided to go from claymation to computer animated film, because they pretty much kept the look of their beloved figures, the result is pretty much the same: a fast, funny adventure film for kids or those young a...( read more)

Flushed Away is OK. Enough to keep you watching. The story is not that special. I didn't realize which actors are providing the voices, which is fine.

Hillariously entertaining, Flushed Away is one of the best animated family films in the last few years, with enough references to other films to almost call it a spoof.
Great characterization and some great creative ideas. -

Very good animation. I watched this with kids where I work. Though intended for kids it is watchable by older people also. There is even a Kafka reference! Not bad.
Critic Reviews
This computer animated time-waster is a bit too frenetic for its own good. full review
Actually, a lot about the film is certified cool, from its whirly animation to the hordes of crunchy pop songs on the soundtrack. full review
Flushed Away subsumes its British charm with an aggressive American pace and more obvious body-function humour, and the film shows evidence of an awkward fit between American and British sensibilities. full review
How this thing got made in Hollywood is a mystery, but I laughed at most of it, especially the mean stereotypes about the French and the even meaner stereotype about England's soccer team. full review
Little kids are sure to be bowled over by Roddy's reluctant heroism and Rita's resourcefulness, while the more grown up among us should appreciate the gleeful pokes at pop culture and Anglo-French rel... full review
Kids will probably be in stinky-sewage heaven with the new computer-animated critter comedy Flushed Away, but even they may realize they're up the proverbial creek in a boat with a faulty motor. full review
Flushed Away is this year's wittiest animated adventure saga. full review
The first computer-animated feature to come from Aardman Animations is filled with exuberant and infectious silliness.
