Like a mouse on a spinning wheel, it's a film that moves at a breakneck pace but ultimately goes nowhere.

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

3/10

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

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.

Packed with cultural references, Aardman Animation’s first foray into CGI retains the studio’s distinctive style, including its British humour, although it doesn’t quite measure up to its greatest achievements. That said, it’s still a pleasure to watch.

Briefly inventive departure retaining the Claymation studio’s entertainingly creative integrity through comedic charm benefits from the computerized freedom injecting slightly more life into the questionable vision that led to sillier tiresome gags, while bolstered by a fine cast’s fun performances.

Professional Movie Review Flushed Away was a fantastic movie, and my friend and I really enjoyed it. I honestly think the audience’s opinion matters more than the box office numbers when it comes to judging how much people enjoyed a film. While some reports may say the movie didn’t perform well at the box office, I personally thought it was excellent. Why does the box office determine whether a movie is considered good or bad? I think the fans should have more of a say because they are the ones actually watching and enjoying these movies. I would give Flushed Away a 10 out of 10. The story, entertainment value, characters, and overall experience made it a movie I would gladly watch again. In my opinion, Flushed Away absolutely deserves a sequel because it was such a great film. Regardless of what the box office numbers say, I think the fans should have a voice in deciding whether a movie deserves another chapter.

A ideia de recriar Londres em miniatura nos esgotos é super criativa. Mas o filme é muito mediano.
