Flushed Away
Watched this for the first time with Kate on Friday night.
“The story of an uptown rat that gets flushed down the toilet from his penthouse apartment, ending in the sewers of London, where he has to learn a whole new and different way of life”.
One word: Awesome!
From the opening sequence to the slug-sung credits, it is a fantastic, colourful 85 minutes of fun!
The characters are brilliant. Sid, the messy home wrecker. Rita, the independent sea woman and out main character, Roddy.
Completely stealing the show is the enigmatic, ‘Le Frog’ - voiced by Jean Reno, the master behind probably my favourite film of all time (and still about the only DVD I don’t own), The Professional. The little green master of espionage and mystery owns his scenes and is sheer comedy at its best.
Ian McKellen takes a break from his recent Magneto roles to voice the quirky, evil ‘Toad’.
And his sidekicks, Whitey and Spike, also make for some great story telling and classic scenes.
Its all fun and games in this one. One of the best animated flicks I’ve ever seen.

This is so a film for me!
was going to wait until I got home to order it off Play but I think I might order it now, so it’ll be there waiting for me when I get home from work on Tuesday! 
Looks like such a cool film! 
I so want to watch it! 
I did want to go and see it at the cinema but like usual there was no one around who would go and see it with me 
boring people! 
Probably why I forgot all about it until you mentioned it
