Roddy (Hugh Jackman, also in Happy Feet), a handsome mouse living in a posh Kensington house, but with no real friends, is repulsed when a sewer rat named Sid intrudes into his home and when Roddy tries to flush him back, Sid gets the last laugh and Roddy is 'Flushed Away' into a sewer town where a young lady mouse named Rita (Kate Winslet) captains the Jammy Dodger and lives with her many siblings, parents and Grandmother (Who is an avid fan of Tom Jones). Roddy is swept into helping her stop the Toad and his minions from an ingenious plot to flush the town of Rats away. Can they do it in time...and will Roddy learn to find a friend in Rita?
This movie was absolutely brilliant! The animation was among the very best I have ever seen (surpassing even that of Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and others). It was hilariously funny, colourful, bright, witty, and entertaining! This movie far exceeded all my expectations, it is a must-see!!!
The voices are spot-on perfect for the characters, the little 'puns' here and there are just brilliant, and the story is unique. Great for all ages. There were several laugh-out-loud scenes and brilliant gags and jokes that kept me laughing after the movie was over.
Flushed Away pushes all the boundarys and really shows us what can be achieved with the technology of today. This is the new standard and the bar is set very, very high. By far the best animation ever!
Enjoyable for all the family to watch, slickly made.
