Flushed Away : Movie Review


In the past few years, CGI animated films have fallen into a depressing rut. The objective has become getting a product out the door rather than taking the time and effort to produce something memorable. The result has been a generic, formulaic market where every new movie looks like all the rest. Flushed Away is a breath of fresh air. Yes, it's about talking animals, but there are no attempts at making these two-legged approximations look like annoyingly cute versions of their real-world four-legged counterparts. The animation eschews detail in favor of something brighter and more cheerful. If the whole thing resembles Wallace and Gromit, it's no coincidence. Flushed Away is the first CGI feature from Aardman, the British animation company behind this year's Oscar winner.
