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.

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

2.5/4

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.

Flushed Away (2006) is a good animated adventure with plenty of charm and humor. The movie has a fun idea, a colorful underground world, and a lot of creative energy that keeps it entertaining from start to finish. The voice acting is strong, the characters are likeable, and the comedy works surprisingly well in a lot of places. It is also one of those animated movies that feels unique and full of personality. It is not perfect, but it is very enjoyable overall. Some moments are a little silly or predictable, but that does not take away from how fun the movie is. The animation style and fast-paced story make it easy to watch, and there is enough heart in it to keep you invested. I would give Flushed Away a 7/10. It is a good, entertaining movie that is worth watching.

This is supremely underrated! It’s too bad it bombed because I need more Aardman/Dreamworks films in my life!

This is an easily entertaining movie, especially for a family with young kids and adults who want the occasional joke thrown their way.

Extremely creative, with several cleverly-hidden jokes I did not initially pick up on. Hugh Jackman and Ian McKellen are surprisingly well-casted. It has a decently strong narrative, holding together rather well. Overall, a delightful film from Aardman Animations.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
