After an ignoble landing in
Ratropolis, a pampered rodent (Hugh Jackman) enlists the
help of a sewer scavenger (Kate Winslet) in finding his
way back to his posh London flat. Getting home is not
the only problem, however; a rodent-hating toad (Ian
McKellen) wants his notorious cousin, Le Frog, to
exterminate the pair. |

"...doesn't do
much to make you care much about the
characters, even with Jackman and Winslet
voicing them."

"There are
certainly moments of Flushed Away
that are funny and clever, but those are
also balanced out by moments that were
decidedly... not."

"...a
wonderfully chaotic affair..."

A. O. Scott |
"The picture
relentlessly picks up speed, zooming from
drollery to anarchy to complete -- albeit
brilliantly controlled -- comic chaos..."

"...better than
90% of the animated fare of the last few
years."

San

Peter Hartlaub |
"...far better
than most children's fare this year, and the
edgy humor will satisfy adult chaperones
almost as much as the kids."

"...it's filled
to overflowing with mischievous gags for
kids and adults alike..."
