The evil toad made this film very enjoyable. Shame it wasn't all stop motion.
Outstanding movie. It should have done way better than it did, but to be fair, it's VERY British.
Critic Reviews
Like a mouse on a spinning wheel, it's a film that moves at a breakneck pace but ultimately goes nowhere.full review
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 relations.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.
