Flushed Away
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.

So confusing... so jarring... so utterly irritating, how I long for "Wallace and Gromit" at this moment...

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

...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.

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.

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.
November 29, 2006
The action sequences mostly uninspired and the characterisations and voice-overs underwhelming.

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.

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.

A disappointing CG-animated film.
November 03, 2006
...It's rat-a-tat pop culture references, but consistently hilarious.
March 24, 2007
A witty combination of jokes for both adults and kids.

Most of the fun is in the deft characterizations, the zippy banter, and the joyous sight gags
