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

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by A.O. Scott
It is a relief to encounter such exuberant and infectious silliness.
Though it lacks "Wallace and Gromit"'s charm, its mile-a-minute inventiveness is impressive.
ReelViews by James Berardinelli
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."
The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt
Delicious slapstick, droll wit and terrific characters make Aardman's first venture in CG cartooning a great success.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Phillips
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.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
Flushed Away lacks the action-contraption dottiness of a Wallace and Gromit adventure, but it hits its own sweet spot of demented delight.
Christian Science Monitor by Peter Rainer
This computer-animated feature is consistently inventive, if a bit busy and overlong.
Result is a kidpic long on invention but short on likability.
