Flushed Away [Blu-ray]

👍🏻

Like many people with young children, we are constantly "forced" to watch the increasing number of animated films being released. This really isn't a problem when there are many such wonderful films with characters you love and care about.Then the bubble was burst with the "in our opinion" totally awful Madagascar rip off,The Wild ( wrong wrong wrong). So We delayed and delayed and reluctantly gave in to our sons demands to see Flushed away...... Oh my Goodness!! Laugh we didnt stop! It was wonderful and restored all my faith in this Genre. Youll love the characters ( Whitey and the slugs are mine!!)The quality, the story with lots of action, Everything. Gandalf as a Slimey Toad...Hilarious. Jean Reno as a froggy assassin. Its just brilliant...and when you watch it again and again you see more and more sneaky little jokes. Watch it,laugh at it, Love it.

This is an excellent children's film which follows the adventures of a domestic pet, Roddy, who gets flushed down the toilet by a rat from the sewer. Realising that sewer life is not for him, Roddy enlists the help of a young female rat (who owns a boat) in order to get home to Kensington. And that is where the adventure really begins. There are some extras with this DVD as well. There is a simple word game, against the clock, and there are numerous printables and a virtual slug game for the youngsters to play. All in all it's a good product and a reasonable price.

A spoilt rat lives with his nice middle class owners in Kensington in his posh cage. All seems perfect until a sewer rat turns up, turfs him out of his house and into the sewers. Once there our hero meets up with a feisty girl-rat who is fighting against an underworld of crooks led by a giant toad.I had expected this to be a real dissapointment but the truth is that this was well animated, a daft but enjoyable storyline and most of all it was very funny! Although I missed the charm of Aardmans plasticine,(which is why I give it 4 stars and not 5), I have to say this still had its own appeal, the characters were all likeable,(even the villains), the voice acting was very well done,(Jean Reno as an assasin frog and Bill Nighy as a bald rat in particular) and the pace was kept up throughout as were the gags, from the subtle 'blink and you've missed them' sight gags to an assortment of brilliant idea,s,(I loved the singing slugs!),.The picture was excellent and this is a great film to show off that LCD/plasma and so too the sound was spot on.The extras are Ok although not outstanding.If you were not sure about this one,(not surprising considering how sniffy many press reviews have been), then be asurred that this is great fun, if you have nippers they will love this, if it's for you then don't hesitate, it's a really enjoyable 80 minutes that will consistantly make you laugh.

I'm not at all surprised that many American reviewers don't appreciate this movie. It often has more than one gag running at the same time and does demand a level of attention and a quick witted mind which those brought up on a diet of Disney have, sadly, often lost.Ratatouille is a sad, slow and, it must be said, boring film in comparison.Yes, it may be a bit difficult to adapt to Aardman without the claymation, but open your mind to this new form and to all the Wallace and Gromit gags and you'll soon be grinning from ear to ear.

I bought this for my daughter as she loves watching movies with animals as the main characters. I saw it when in the cinema and knew Flushed Away would be suitable for a 2 year old. The humour is fabulous as subtle innuendoes aren't picked up by children but make it entertaining for adults who have to sit with their delightful children and watch it over and over again. Well worth the money.

Superb movie- kids love it.Get to see it several times a day, though!Plenty of humour aimed at the older audience- take off's on Disney movies, gags about americans (movie set in London- or a rat metropolis that duplicates London underneath the human city!).Great actors voicing the characters- Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Jean Reno, David Suchet, Ian McKellen- and the famous singing slugs.....Excellent movie at a great price- buy it!

I bought this as my son had watched it over & over again on sky plus! He loves it. I can't understand why we never heard of it before. It's a lovely story & very funny. My son, age 2, knows words to certain scenes & gets very excited , one film I don't mind watching again & again.

August 14, 2024An excellent children's film which follows the adventures of a domestic pet. Well, I am not a child, I kinda am even though I am over let’s say 50, because I love to watch cartoons. This does have a story line about falling in love, courage, and moving forward to find happiness. Or so that is my opinion.

Zur technischen Umsetzung : Hervorragendes Bild, scharfe Farben, großartiger Ton. Zum Film selbst: Ich hatte ihn bis jetzt nicht gesehen, auf die Empfehlung meiner Freundin hin, habe ich ihn gekauft. Viele kleine Gags und Anspielungen auf andere Film, gut ausgelotete Charaktere. Sowohl für Ältere als auch Jüngere gibt es viel zu lachen. Im Hintergrund spielt sich so viel ab, dass man den Film öfter anschauen sollte. Fazit: Absolute Empfehlung!

Many thanks, A1 experience
