Its a capable, lively movie with well-written characters and a pleasantly and robustly constructed world of Means it's more gently folded into the frivolity rather than forced into every digital millimeter of the film's existence (sorry, but UglyDolls'īad taste is still fresh on the tongue). Directors David Bowers and Sam Fell's 2006Ĭomputer animated adventure film may be a little visually crude by 2019 standards but it's an entertaining ride and refreshingly free from any heavy-handed social commentary. In Flushed Away, a pampered rat must go down and get dirty to find purpose in his life.
