Roddy is a decidedly upper-crust "society mouse" who lives the life of a beloved pet in a posh Kensington flat. When a sewer rat named Sid comes spewing out of the sink and decides he's hit the jackpot, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the "whirlpool." Sid may be an ignorant slob, but he's no fool, so it is Roddy who winds up being flushed away into the bustling sewer world of Ratropolis. There Roddy meets Rita, an enterprising scavenger who works the sewers in her faithful boat, the Jammy Dodger. Roddy immediately wants out, or rather, up; Rita wants to be paid for her trouble; and, speaking of trouble, the villainous Toad - who royally despises all rodents equally, making no distinction between mice and rats - wants them iced...literally. The Toad dispatches his two hapless hench-rats, Spike and Whitey, to get the job done. When they fail, the Toad has no choice but to send to France for his cousin - that dreaded mercenary, Le Frog.

Despite this animated movie being yet another one of many based on talking animals, Flushed Away doesn't try too hard to be funny by steamrolling pop culture into the story. It is funny in other ways, such as its use of slap stick, clever dialogue and various sight gags.
The voice work is good here, I wouldnt have even known that Hugh Jackman was Roddy had it not been written on the DVD case. He really doesnt sound like his usual self here but that only tells you that he has worked hard when lending his vocals to this character.
The show stealer for me are the sewer slugs. They pop up every know and again in the film singing or doing sound effects and it is perfect timing everytime!
This film is clever and appealing for both children and adults. Another top class film from Aardman Animations
Brilliant!

My little brother loved this- and so did my 19/20 yr old mates! Great film to just sit back and watch whilst having a catch up and kids love it. Also at 4.99 you cant really go wrong.
