Flushed Away is sweetly silly and consistent - it is the perfect story for a few hours' respite.

This movie has so many ingredients that I should love... [but] I find the characters all to be unlikable.

Rated: 3/10

Flushed Away, directed by David Bowers and Sam Fell, is creatively realized, especially in how it takes "found" materials underground and re-imagines London landmarks.

Rated: 2.5/4

Although it is not the most perfect out of AardWorks movies, this is some enjoyable movie. It has adventure with a flush down the drain to a city of London where other rats created home. Roddy & Rita made a hood pair after all, he really did belong in the family of her. I wonder where they go in the future. And to add with it, there is comedy, such as references to other movies (📀💿 in James home) & Finding Nemo with a goldfish saying "Have You Seen My Dad?", slugs bringing comic relief with their singing. Even our villainous toads have had a comedic part with that one moment "My fly's undone" & his backstory made an impact (Charles chose a rat over him) Another part to make it funny: when Tabitha arrived home (who I wanted to see the face of) showed the pet her new cat - that was Sid. She would probably realise she really did overfeed him seeing Sid's appearance & he lowkey trashed the home. The reaction. To say, do we really need rats as pets? Even the soundtrack hypes me up though

It had clever moments in it. But really it's just a bunch of chaos, zany characters and themes that have been done better in other movies.

For a movie marketed with toilet humor it is surprisingly engaging and memorable. Flushed away was one of the most influential films in my childhood. I rewatch this film every few years expecting to be disappointed due my more developed brain, however I genuinely enjoy it more each watch. Great writing, Great voice acting, fun sets and memorable moments that are sure to make you chuckle. For a movie marketed with toilet humor its surprisingly engaging and memorable and a must watch especially for the youth.
