Flushed Away
Flushed Away (2006) 8/10
I was surprised by how good this film was. I was expecting a solid, but above average film, but Flushed Away delivers a knockout, and is my vote for best animated film of the year. Blending CGI with claymation, Flushed Away’s plot is nothing remarkable, and largely predictable. But it scores because of its snarky humor, british wit and copious references to other films. Spoofing James Bond, Jaws, Finding Nemo and Spiderman among others, it’s great fun picking out the homages and references in Flushed Away. It also helps to have a snazzy soundtrack, although I felt that there were abit too many musical scenes. Overall, a solid effort. Flushed Away is one animation which I enjoyed immensely.
