Review of Flushed Away (2006) by Steven Y — 26 Mar 2009
Flushed Away is the first CGI-animated film from Aardman. Though Aardman Animations don't make a huge load of movies, at least what they do make is bloody good, and this lived up to the high reputations it set itself.
This film was so much more than just rats getting flushed down toilets - it was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. Beating off competition from Ice Age 2 and Over the Hedge, this is definitely the funniest animated film this year - singing slugs, thick villain's minions and frogs with French accents never get old.
Flushed Away was full of vivid characters - and that is what Aardman are best at - creating characters that the audience will love. this is more than just more talking-animal fare - it has emotion, wit and character, and that is why Flushed Away is great.
Even if it bombs, at least it can be safe in the knowledge that everybody who has seen it has had a great time.
