Critics Reviews: 7 out of 10

Reelviews 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. James Berardinelli

The Boston Globe Kids will probably be in stinky-sewage heaven with the new computer-animated critter comedy "Flushed Away," but even they may realize they're up the proverbial creek in a boat with a faulty motor. Parents will while away the time in moderate boredom until the film unexpectedly springs to life... Ty Burr

Chicago Tribune "Flushed Away" is enough to make any hopped-up multitasking preteen long for a nice glass of milk and a copy of "Good Dog, Carl." After the fourth electrocution gag, the 10th smack in the face and the 12th assault on a wee rodent crotch, we could all use something quiet. Michael Phillips

San Francisco Chronicle For a movie that takes place mostly in the bowels of a sewer, "Flushed Away" has some surprisingly charming moments. Peter Hartlaub
