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.
Ok, 1, it's not a Disney movie, it's a Dreamworks movie (Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda etc.) 2, British accents aren't annoying. Anyway, this movie is fine. It was a little boring and the humor falls flat. It might encourage kids to start watching soccer (takes place in the UK and soccer is big over there. Toad plans to flush city during the World Cup Finals and Sid watches it while he's at Roddy's.)
Movie Outline: Flushed Away
•Recommended Age: 6+
•Sexual Content:
All this will probably fly over most kids' heads: The heroine tells the hero to reach in her back pocket for something, and then she exclaims that she meant her pocket (implying he touched something else). The heroine's pants fall down, and the hero says it isn't what he wants to sew before he dies. The hero accidentally kisses a bride on her wedding day. Two characters fall out of a chimney, and when they stop rolling, they are lying with their legs tangled, looking a bit like they were having sex (though clothes are on).
•Violence:
Limited, animated violence, nothing above a PG rating. Kicking, punching, etc. The entire story revolves around the villain trying to exterminate an entire species, which younger kids may find frightening.
•Profanity:
Mild name-calling/mild swearing (dumb, idiot, suckers, etc.)
•Consumerism:
None.
•Positive Messages:
Family and friends are more important than money and wealth.
•Smoking/Drugs/Alcohol:
None.

This was another cute clamation but it just didn't interest me that much. It was good enough to get 4 stars though. This movie is ok and it's cool if you see it or not.
