Flushed Away is an animated film directed by David Bowers and Sam Fell. It is a co-production between Aardman Animation and DreamWorks Animation, and is Aardman's first completely computer-animated feature as opposed to the usual stop-motion. The film stars the voice talents of Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Andy Serkis, Bill Nighy, Ian McKellen, Simon Callow, Shane Richie, Geoffrey Palmer and Jean Reno. It was released in the US on November 3rd. The Australian release date is December 21st and the UK release date is December 1st.
Beneath the streets of London, Roddy St. James is a pampered pet mouse who thinks he’s got it made. But when a sewer rat named Sid--the definition of “low life”--comes spewing out of the sink and decides it’s his turn to enjoy the lap of luxury, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the loo for a dip in the “whirlpool.” Roddy’s plan backfires when he inadvertently winds up being the one flushed away into the bustling world down below.

Interesting Facts:
• The main reason why Flushed Away is computer animated is because of the complexity of the water. It was originally intended to be another of Aardman's original stop-motion animated features, but it would have been too expensive to composite the shots including water, and since the story involves a lot of it, they chose to go all CGI. The characters still resemble Aardman's classic plasticine stop-motion characters, as the designs were taken straight from the original plasticine models.
• Gromit from Wallace and Gromit makes an appearance in this movie as a plush. Alex the lion (Madagascar) and some of the rabbits (Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit) also can be seen as plushies.
• Gilbert and Sullivan were originally in the film as Roddy's two hamster butlers, but they were later removed because the filmmakers were trying to get across that Roddy was alone and had no one. If he had two hamster butlers, it would defeat this purpose. They can be seen in the first Teaser Trailer for the film.
