Flushed Away movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: After the fourth electrocution gag, the 10th smack in the face and the 12th assault on a wee rodent crotch, we could all use something quiet. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: Flushed Away will probably make you want to revisit some old, classic Wallace & Gromit short. The Wrong Trousers, perhaps. That would be spot-on. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: This delightful computer animation is less twee than Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, with more action and a broader American sensibility. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: Fans of Wallace and Gromit may be puzzled by a visual disconnect in Flushed Away. They will certainly, however, be delighted by the unrelenting whimsy and fast-paced gags of a story that never slows down to think about where it's going next. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: They try a little too hard. All this frantic action... Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Has more invention and laughs in its first 15 minutes than in Cars and Monster House put together. Read more
Tasha Robinson, AV Club: Most of the fun is in the deft characterizations, the zippy banter, and the joyous sight gags Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: With Flushed Away, Aardman [Animations] has moved away from a guy and his dog to a girl and her mouse, but they're almost just as fun. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Kids will probably be in stinky-sewage heaven with the new computer-animated critter comedy Flushed Away, but even they may realize they're up the proverbial creek in a boat with a faulty motor. Read more
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: The film mixes rousing kid-friendly adventure with surprisingly savvy grown-up wit and charm. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: Actually, a lot about the film is certified cool, from its whirly animation to the hordes of crunchy pop songs on the soundtrack. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: The movie is both child-friendly and, in its frequent jokes and topical references, adult-friendly, too. What it lacks is the heart to make it really stick in the imagination. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: The chatter is as zingy for the adults in the theater as the action is zippy for the kiddies. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Flushed Away lacks the action-contraption dottiness of a Wallace and Gromit adventure, but it hits its own sweet spot of demented delight. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: As some other witty Brits once promised, a splendid time is guaranteed for all. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Flushed Away subsumes its British charm with an aggressive American pace and more obvious body-function humour, and the film shows evidence of an awkward fit between American and British sensibilities. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: The animation, computer-generated as opposed to Aardman's signature claymation style, pops with clever visual touches, and the voice cast, led by the omnipresent and ever likable Hugh Jackman as Roddy, is first-rate. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: ...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. Read more
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald: ...It's rat-a-tat pop culture references, but consistently hilarious. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: Despite the efforts of five writers and Aardman's trademark puppets, with their malleable eyebrows and cheeks bulging like those of a mumps sufferer, none of these characters are particularly endearing. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Though Flushed Away duplicates the stop-motion, clay animation look of Aardman's earlier Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, it was made using computer software and its liberated action sequences are truly dazzling. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: 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. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It's better than 90% of the animated fare of the last few years. It's refreshing not to have to qualify the movie's appeal by appending the words, 'for the kids'. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: The short attention spans of directors David Bowers and Sam Fell are mostly forgivable because the movie is filled with so many entertaining characters. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Toilet humour and Aardman characters go together like tar and tea. Read more
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: Deficient in the comedy of reticence discouragement that is Aardman's (or maybe just Nick Park's) unique strength. I don't want to say the Englishmen were corrupted, but I think they allowed their strongest, quirkiest instincts to be tethered. Read more
Time Out: The action sequences mostly uninspired and the characterisations and voice-overs underwhelming. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: Boasts undeniably smart and eye-catching qualities that are significantly diluted by the relentlessly frantic and overbearing behavior of most characters; someone is always loudly imposing himself upon another, to diminishing returns of enjoyment. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Flushed Away, Aardman's first computer-generated cartoon, does away with the clay but leaves the craft and emotion intact, resulting in a film that earns its place among the Aardman classics. Read more
