Flushed Away
After an ignoble landing in Ratropolis, a pampered rodent that gets flushed down the toilet from his penthouse apartment enlists the help of a sewer scavenger in finding his way back to his posh London flat. Along the way, he has to learn a whole new and different way of life.

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.

A witty combination of jokes for both adults and kids.

A disappointing CG-animated film.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

...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.

The action sequences mostly uninspired and the characterisations and voice-overs underwhelming.
