Metacritic-Rezensionen

Delicious slapstick, droll wit and terrific characters make Aardman's first venture in CG cartooning a great success.

It is a relief to encounter such exuberant and infectious silliness.

Flushed Away lacks the action-contraption dottiness of a Wallace and Gromit adventure, but it hits its own sweet spot of demented delight.

This computer-animated feature is consistently inventive, if a bit busy and overlong.

Though it lacks "Wallace and Gromit"'s charm, its mile-a-minute inventiveness is impressive.

It's better than 90% of the animated fare of the last few years. It's refreshing not to have to qualify the movie's appeal by appending the words, "for the kids."

Result is a kidpic long on invention but short on likability.

What's not to love about a movie in which thousands of rodents stand together against a Big Wave generated by TV-watching soccer fans flushing their toilets at halftime?

Flushed Away has a wicked, smart, and subtle sense of humor.

After the fourth electrocution gag, the 10th smack in the face and the 12th assault on a wee rodent crotch, we could all use something quiet.
