Movie Review
 

Flushed Away is an animated film directed by David Bowers and Sam Fell. It is a co-production between Aardman Animation and DreamWorks Animation, and is Aardman's first completely computer-animated feature as opposed to the usual stop-motion. The film stars the voice talents of Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Andy Serkis, Bill Nighy, Ian McKellen, Simon Callow, Shane Richie, Geoffrey Palmer and Jean Reno. The screenplay was written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. The film was released in movie theatres on November 3, 2006, and is distributed by Paramount Pictures. It is speculated this may be the last film in Aardman and DreamWorks' distribution deal due to "creative differences", according to reports. The film was rated PG by the MPAA for crude humor and some language.

Flushed Away soundtrack with songs by Jim Singer, Lindsay Lohan & Jack Johnson was released on October 24, 2006.

Roddy is a decidedly upper-crust pet mouse who makes his home in a posh Kensington flat. When a common sewer rat named Syd 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 "jacuzzi." Syd may be an ignorant slob, but he’s no fool, so it is Roddy who winds up being flushed away into the bustling underground city in the drains of London. There Roddy meets Rita, an enterprising scavenger who works the drains in her faithful boat, the Jolly 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—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.

Flushed Away acquired 78% on Rotten Tomatoes. It also received a rating of 7.0/10 on IMDB (which, notably, is lower than the ratings acquired by Aardman's two previous films).
