We have the film, but my siblings LOVE IT. I think the slugs are annoying and obnoxious. According to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), it was rated U (Universal (4+)). Sex is a major issue, as well as consumerism. Consumerism includes the Rubik's Cube, Madagascar, Wallace and Gromit, Heinz Baked Beans, Lego's, and more. Scrabble mentioned but not portrayed. Language includes "dipstick" and "darn."

What Parents Need to Know
About Flushed Away
Parents need to know that kids will definitely want to see this animated adventure from the folks behind Wallace and Gromit. Not surprisingly, considering the title, it's got lots of potty humor: The storyline revolves around a rat being flushed down a toilet into a sewer, and there are references to human waste, including one scene in which a character appears to grab a piece of excrement. Lots of cartoon violence, too: Characters fall from high places and are shot at, chased, frozen, electrocuted, yelled at, and threatened. Toad is an evil villain, and Sid is a disgusting character who belches, farts, and is generally crude. On the other hand, Rita is an independent girl who can fend for herself.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether Sid should have flushed Roddy down the toilet. Was that the right thing to do? Was there an alternative solution? How did Roddy make the best of the situation once he was in Ratropolis? Was Rita right when she tried to abandon Roddy when he needed her most? Is a large piece of jewelry worth fighting over?

Not good at all
Toilet-humor at its worst. This was, I think, the first movie Kate Winslet didn't get naked, though.

Absolutely Ridiculous
Please do not waste your time watching this movie. It is dull, not funny, and has no adventure. The makers of this movie tried to make it interesting, hilarious, and adventurous, but it absoulutely is not. Overall, this movie is an hour an a half of time-wasting.

:) Great Movie
Flushed Away is a great movie!:) It is like a "Flushing good movie!" I like it because it is very CREATIVE. I love CREATIVE movies. There is SOME vilonce:(. But watch this "Flushing good movie today!"

ha! ha! that was funny!
that movie was funny!! though if u can't stand gross scenes which there are some in the movie like where Roddy and Rita do the gross handshake when making the deal(i don't even know why they made it a gross handshake), don't watch it. I liked the part where the French frogs came in the scene, especially the mime. There is a kissing scene where Roddy accidentally kisses a bride rat on her wedding day. Theres also a hugging scene in there toward the end when Rita gets the ruby and the emerald, don't let your kids see the movie if you don't think any romance is appropriate for your kids. Otherwise, this movie is great!

Entertaining for young kids
My 3 yr old son loved this movie and his daddy & I were somewhat entertained as well. Unfortunately, its not as good as other animated films out there now, but the singing slugs who appear periodically throughout the film are very funny. I actually looked forward to the slugs and would have advocated them being in the movie more. There's a bit of slap-stick humor in it, but I wouldn't consider it inappropriate for kids . . . it was mild if you compare it to what I watched as a kid, like Bugs Bunny or Tom & Jerry. And if you don't want you kids seeing tiolet or sewer humor/references, then its not for you, but then again the title 'Flushed Away' should have told you that . . . .

Not appropriate for young children
My son is 4 and I found the potty humor and sewer situation highly inappropriate as well as the violence and premise that it is ok to steal. The main character getting his private parts cracked over and over was not the thing I want my 4yr old exposed to. I would have had no problem with it if my son were older but this movie is not age appropriate for young children.

Flushed Away is a disgrace
The movie Flushed Away simply has no point to it. It is boring, not funny, and has no adventure. I'm sure the people who made this movie tried to put all the good stuff in it, but they failed. When i saw Flushed Away, i thought that i just wasted too much of my time. i could hav been doing something else much better than watching that movie. So if you havent seen the movie yet, dont. Its just a big waste of time.

My 3 year old and I both laughed out loud.
I took my three year old to see this. I expected to be bored, but found myself laughing out loud. My three year old thought the frog was a little scary as the "bad guy." But otherwise liked it alot and asks to watch it over and over now that it's out on video.
