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.

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.

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