Flushed Away (DVD)

...filmmaker! The Music of Flushed Away. A straightforward documentary about the composing of the music featured. This is not interesting unless you are a real music buff. Meet the Cast. This shows several of the voice actors performing at the microphone in a split screen with their animated character. For me, it kind of takes away the magic to see the real people talking in their characters' voices. It maybe quite interesting to put a face to a voice ...
...pointless. DreamWorks kids Flushed Away Tunes. In this section were exactly the same Slug Songs as featured above in Super Slug Stuff. Yes that's right a repeat within the Extras! Plus there is Flushed Away juke box where you can see again the scenes featuring songs. Good if you just like the musical parts. Build a slug. This has a very skilled animator talk you through how to model a plasticine slug that looked just like one from the film. Initially, ...

...the film Music of Flushed Away - This is a look at the reasons behind the choices of different music on the film.

Review of Flushed Away (DVD)

...a good animated film and Flushed Away comes up trumps. Most significantly, the script was written by British writers meaning a film with typical British humour. The wit and sarcasm of the film is brilliant and frequently quite grown up. To be able to make one line funny to children and adults alike but for two completely different reasons is to be commended to say the least. Not only does the humour pass between young and old, it seems to have also ...
...to the good ol’ US of A. Without this turning into an American-bashing escapade I think it is fair to say often the comedy over here is more sophisticated and if often lost on the Americans. I expect Americans and Brits alike found themselves laughing at the same parts however, I doubt they were always in on the same joke. The scene where Toad shows off his “prestigious” Royal memorabilia collection is possibly the funniest animated scene I have ...

...Amazon.co.uk Plot Synopsis ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Flushed Away tells the story of Roddy St. James of Kensington, a pet mouse who lives a life of luxury as the pet of a rich household. He has everything he could want - a golden palace, toys to play with, and access to a flash car and a range of outfits. When his family goes away for a few days, he lets himself out of his cage and sets about having the party of a lifetime - a party that is spoiled when ...
...expect good quality animation, and Flushed Away does not disappoint. The animation is crisp and clean, with lots of tiny details that make it all the more wonderful. While many films over emphasize realism, this film deals in fun, imagination, and comedy. There are so many tiny details that every time I watch this, I notice a new sight gag, and it is great that a film can remain entertaining past the first viewing. While the animation is perfect, ...

Review of Flushed Away (DVD)

Mouse about town Roddy St James is a pampered pet living in a posh Kensington house. Then an uncouth sewer rat named Sid turns up and makes himself at home. Roddy hatches a plan to flush the unwanted pest down the toilet, but Sid outwits him and it’s Roddy that goes down the pan. Below street level he finds a world he never knew existed – a teeming city named Ratropolis. There Roddy meets Rita, who scavenges the sewers in her faithful boat The Jammy ...
...is determined to go to any lengths to get it. First he dispatches hench-rats Spike and Whitey to retrieve his treasure before sending for his mercenary French cousin – Le Frog. To be honest I had my doubts about quintessentially British company Aardman teaming up with big American animation studio Dreamworks. For the first ten minutes of the movie it looked like my worst fears had been recognized. The Wallace and Gromit movies and shorts offer instant ...

...making an excellent, computer-animated comedy. Flushed Away is about a spoiled, uptown rat named Roddy (Hugh Jackman). He is left alone after his family goes on holiday and gets flushed in the toilet. He finds himself in the sewer, in the middle of a poor rat colony. When trying to get back home, he gets help from a girl rat that gets him into more trouble. The movie starts at a fast pace and never lets go. The movie is packed with a bright script, ...
...won't reveal. In Flushed Away, Aardman studios has made yet another family classic that will still be as entertaining ten years from now as it is today. The soundtrack is quite entertaining - it's loaded with a lot of pop songs and oldies. Overall this is a great selection to take your family to see, and worth seeing even if you're a grown up too. ...

Review of Flushed Away (DVD)

My son had whinged and moaned for ages, eventually I relented and brought him the DVD. I sat down expecting the usual animated kids film, but it was brilliant. I laughed more than he did. I loved the singing slugs and I loved the slugs additional features on the twin dvd version. The frogs were brilliant with their french accents. This is the new james bond for kids. I have recommended it to all of my friends. It will definately keep the kids quiet ...

Review of Flushed Away (DVD)

...i have written below: Flushed away featuring uptown pet mouse Roddy (Hugh Jackman) is immensely entertaining and wastes little time dropping this aloof, Kensington rodent into London’s underground sewerage system that leads him on a rollercoaster ride and into an adventure of a lifetime. How could such a careless and disastrous mishap befall this cosseted, precocious mouse who rarely ventures out of his luxurious but somewhat solitary splendour? ...
...toilet and he is speedily flushed away! Set to a lively soundtrack, flushed away follows Roddy on his swirling journey beneath the city streets and discovers a thriving microcosm of the city above. Longing to get home as this frenetic, vibrant urban scene is a stark contrast to his pampered isolation, he bumps into many different characters particularly slugs at every corner. But it is when our accident prone hero bumps into a streetwise mouse called ...
