Flushed Away is the story of Roddy St. James a pampered pet mouse living in an expensive house in Kensington. Roddy's life suddenly changes when his owners go away and Sid, a sewer rat finds his way into the house and takes up residence. Roddy finds himself flushed away down the toilet and into the sewers were he experiences a whole new world.

The film is suitable for both children and adults. Children will enjoy the story and the slapstick humour. Adults will enjoy some jokes that children will not understand and also spotting the references to other films, you see a costume in Roddys wardrobe that is Wallaces from Wallace and Gromit, the wolverine outfit from X-Men (which Hugh Jackman played), there are references to Batman and Robin, Lady and the Tramp, James Bond, Finding Nemo and many others.

However Rita has some rats on her tail (so to speak!) who are after a precious ruby. The bad guys are amusing too, we have Whitey an ex-laboratory albino rat who is big and slow and not terribly evil! His sidekick is Spike who is very small but tries his hardest to be vicious but we discover he lives with his mum and his middle name is Lesley, not the best crudentials for an evil villain. Whitey and Spikes best plans always seem to fail. They are working for The Toad who sees himself as controller of the sewers. He has a bit of an obsession for the Royal family and in the film we discover his story. Toad's evil plans are not working out so he calls on his evil French cousin to help - Le Frog. Le Frog and his evil henchman try to stop Roddy and Rita with amusing consequences.

DWK - This is Dreamworks Kids with lots of kids stuff. There is Flushed Away Tunes, which is all the songs from the film. There is build a slug which is one of the animators showing you how to build a slug from plasticine, this does go on for quite a while but would be good if you wanted to make a slug with your kids, the end result is quite impressive but remains to be seen if the one you make would look anything like his! There is Learn to draw Roddy and A maze of pipes to occupy kids. There is also other activities if you put the DVD into your computer.

Slug Songs - Short videos of the slugs singing "Everybody Dance Now", "I don't fell like dancing" and "Pump It". Amusing.

Dreamworks Animation Video Jukebox - This is song videos from various dreamwork films, there is "I like to Move it" from Madagascar (excellent video unfortunately they only show a short bit of it), also songs from Over the Hedge, Shrek, Shrek 2 and Shark Tale.

Shrek the Third - A trailer of the new Shrek film. As a Shrek fan I was curious to see this and it looks good.
