  1. Delicious slapstick, droll wit and terrific characters make Aardman's first venture in CG cartooning a great success.

    The film offers rousing adventures that kids will love and witty humor that adults can appreciate.

    The best animated movie of the year and only a whisker shy of the brilliance of Wallace and Gromit.
  4. After the fourth electrocution gag, the 10th smack in the face and the 12th assault on a wee rodent crotch, we could all use something quiet.

  1. Overall I Loved It! I Just Bought It On DVD Today... I Think More People Should Really Sit Down And Watch It... It's Genuis!
  2. Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet have great chemistry together as Roddy and Rita, who make an unlikely friendship defending Rita's hometown in the sewers of England.
    As quoted by the many singing slugs, "Poor old Roddy, flushed down his own potty, Rita can't you find it in your heart to help him?"

  3. "Flushed Away" isn't a great claymation movie. It kinda 'flushs' down the plot with revolving characters and settings. Nevertheless, the film still is a entertaining movie to watch (especially those 007 fans). Expand

    Wasn't really funny. Used too many of the same jokes.
