Last night I saw the movie Flushed Away. The movie is computer animated from the same studio that brought us Wallace and Gromit. The movie features the voices of Hugh Jackman (Roddy), Kate Winslet (Rita), Ian McKellen (The Toad), Jean Reno (Le Frog) & Bill Nighy (Whitey). Roddy is a posh pet rat from Kensington, London that gets flushed down the toilet drain and ends up in the sewers. In the sewers there is a "rat world" that he never knew existed.
In order to get back home Roddy requests the help from Rita, a smart talking sewer rat. They encounter The Toad who wants Rita's "precious" jewel from the queen's crown. Once Rita finds out the jewel is not so precious she takes the electric cable. The Toad has planned to use the cable to destroy "rat-world" during the human Soccer World Cup Final. It is Rita & Roddy's job to find out how The Toad is going to destroy "rat-world" and save the day.
I absolutely loved this movie. It mixed in adult humor (it is British humor by the way) and kid humor. The movie was fresh and exciting and perfect for kids and adults. The slap-stick comedy was price-less and I fell out of my seat laughing. All the characters were delightful and very unique. I give this movie 8 out of 10.
