After a despicable arrival in Ratropolis, a coddled rodent that gets flushed down the lavatory from his penthouse apartment seeks the aid of a gutter hunter so he can look for his way back finding his way to his stylish London flat. His entire journey teaches him a lesson of how things in this world exist quite different to what he is accustomed to.

It's an interesting approach to bridging two very different disciplines -- it's just a pity they didn't find a better script to try it out on.

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.

Most of the fun is in the deft characterizations, the zippy banter, and the joyous sight gags
November 29, 2006
The action sequences mostly uninspired and the characterisations and voice-overs underwhelming.

...It's rat-a-tat pop culture references, but consistently hilarious.

Exciting, adventurous, and flush with visual and verbal gags, Aardman's latest stands out from the many other children's animations released this year because it seems a labour of love rather than a soulless commodity.
March 24, 2007
A witty combination of jokes for both adults and kids.

So confusing... so jarring... so utterly irritating, how I long for "Wallace and Gromit" at this moment...
June 13, 2008
Despite the attempts to make this slick and bang up-to-date - plasma screens and pop culture references abound - it still feels curiously caught in aspic.
December 30, 2006
A disappointing CG-animated film.
November 06, 2006
They try a little too hard. All this frantic action...
November 03, 2006
...This puckish charmer about a posh Kensington mouse flushed down the loo into London sewer country is to action-adventure what Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was to Hammer Horror.
