Review of Flushed Away (2006) by Brunovn00 — 22 Mar 2020

2006 was a lame year for animation. None of the big studios like Disney, Dreamworks or Pixar were doing their best and, in this case, not even Aardman. I'm not saying Flushed Away was bad, I guess it deserved a nomination for Best Animated Feature more than Monster House for example but it's kind of a letdown compared to Aardman's previous work.

It has an all-star cast and it never felt like the actors were there for a paycheck, the performances were genuinely good. The concept is pretty bizarre but the direction and writing made it work and turned it into a widly entertaining movie with good humor and charismatic characters. I just don't know what else to say, honestly, it's entertaining but it's also pretty forgettable for the most part.
