From
DreamWorks Animation and Aardman Features, the teams behind
the Oscar®-winning hits “Shrek” and “Wallace & Gromit: The
Curse of the Were-Rabbit,” comes the computer-animated
comedy “Flushed Away.” Blending Aardman’s trademark style
and characterizations with DreamWorks’ state-of-the-art
computer animation, the film marks a unique new look for the
artform.
In
this new comedy set on and beneath the streets of London,
Roddy St. James (Hugh Jackman) is a pampered pet mouse who
thinks he’s got it made. But when a sewer rat named Sid
(Shane Richie) – the definition of “low life” – comes
spewing out of the sink and decides it’s his turn to enjoy
the lap of luxury, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest
by luring him into the loo for a dip in the “whirlpool.”
Roddy’s plan backfires when he inadvertently winds up being
the one flushed away into the bustling world down below.
Underground, Roddy discovers a vast metropolis, where he
meets Rita (Kate Winslet), a street-wise rat who is on a
mission of her own. If Roddy is going to get home, he and
Rita will need to escape the clutches of the villainous Toad
(Ian McKellen), who royally despises all rodents and has
dispatched two hapless henchrats, Spike (Andy Serkis) and
Whitey (Bill Nighy), as well as his cousin – that dreaded
mercenary, Le Frog (Jean Reno) – to see that Roddy and Rita
are iced… literally.
The film is directed by David Bowers and Sam Fell with story
by Sam Fell and Peter Lord and Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais
and screenplay by Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais and Chris
Lloyd & Joe Keenan and Will Davies. Produced by Cecil
Kramer, Peter Lord and David Sproxton and co-produced by
Maryann Garger.
