Critic Reviews

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    They try a little too hard. All this frantic action...

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    Here's hoping that Flushed Away won't be the last gurgle from Aardman in feature-film form. Aardman shows us that animated humor, even in the toilet, can still be good clean fun.

  • Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

    Actually, a lot about the film is certified cool, from its whirly animation to the hordes of crunchy pop songs on the soundtrack.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    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.

  • Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

    Though Flushed Away duplicates the stop-motion, clay animation look of Aardman's earlier Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, it was made using computer software and its liberated action sequences are truly dazzling.

    FLUSHED AWAY is a dumb, animated British movie. It's not very enjoyable.

  • Brad W


    It had a great cast and animation, but sadly after a while the dimness and the movie itself gets boring. It had a interesting idea, and it seemed to work for a while, and it was very funny and made me laugh, but it was weird soon nere the end. I thought it was good, but… More
