I had expected this to be a real dissapointment but the truth is that this was well animated, a daft but enjoyable storyline and most of all it was very funny! Although I missed the charm of Aardmans plasticine,(which is why I give it 4 stars and not 5), I have to say this still had its own appeal, the characters were all likeable,(even the villains), the voice acting was very well done,(Jean Reno as an assasin frog and Bill Nighy as a bald rat in particular) and the pace was kept up throughout as were the gags, from the subtle 'blink and you've missed them' sight gags to an assortment of brilliant idea,s,(I loved the singing slugs!),.

I have to admit I WAS skeptical about this movie. I've never been fond of the previous Aardman efforts. The Lipless, wide mouthed toothy expressions really weirded me out, and I just nevet thought they were very funny. After seeing clips of this movie being demoed in a store, my interest grew and I rented it. and LOVED it! Thankfully this movie was a blessed reprieve from all of that. In Flushed Away, Aardman studios has made yet another family classic that will still be as entertaining ten years from now as it is today. Granted, it's loaded with a lot of pop songs and oldies, but most of them are sung by a chorus of slugs (which makes for one of the best running gags I've seen in a while). While his family is away at Holiday, Roddy, the Pet Mouse, takes advantage of having the whole house to himself, taking in a movie, hanging out with the (Plastic) ladies, and enjoying his solitude. When an intruder comes in and Roddy gets Flushed down the potty, Roddy encounters what is a spitting image of Lodon, if it were built out of trash. He sets of on a journey to find his way home, and finds himself interwined in a plot to destroy this sewage London. He learns the importance of family, friednship, and must make some important choices. The picture was excellent and this is a great film to show off that LCD/plasma and so too the sound was spot on.

It's creative and EXTREMELY enjoyable! THe voice actors are TOP notch, and the characters are loveable and entertaining. A spoilt rat lives with his nice middle class owners in Kensington in his posh cage. All seems perfect until a sewer rat turns up, turfs him out of his house and into the sewers. Once there our hero meets up with a feisty girl-rat who is fighting against an underworld of crooks led by a giant toad.
