Flushed Away (2006)

This is my new favourite animation. It's funny right from the word go (the slugs are the best), the storyline works out really well and it's far better then the latest animations that have been going. Barnyard & Madagascar for examples. It reminds me of a cross between Shrek (obviously because the same people who created Shrek created this one too) and Wallace & Gromit.
And it really is a fluke that I got to watch it because I hadn't even heard of it before (they had it playing at the video shop)! I think a lot of people are going to miss out on this one which is a shame because it is really enjoyable.

This world is a completely lost cause. Has everyone's brains turned to mush from too many 'American Idol' scream-fests and intellectual shows like that 'pick a number on a suitcase' crap or 'are you smarter than a 5th grader?'

Now perhaps the concept is what kept the audiences away, because honestly, when i ...Read more

Just watched this movie today with my son. It is a very good family movie and will keep the adults attentions also. It has a good story line which is missing in a lot of cartoon movies. The quality of the computer animation is very well done. The basic storyline of the movie is that a pet rat is flushed down his toilet into an underground city of rats. There is a toad in this city that is trying to get rid of the rats. Our main characters has a lot of adventures (most are very humerous)on his way to helping save the city. Of course there is a female rat that attracts our hero's attentions also. This is a Dreamworks release and follows the quality of the animation that they have produce the last few years. This is a movie that your kids will enjoy and the adults won't fall asleep w...Read more
