Aardman Animation and DreamWorks have been hard at work on the Wallace team’s first-ever CG cartoon. And now they have a full trailer to showcase what they’ve been working on.
Flushed Away follows sniffy posh “house mouse” pet Rodney, voiced by Hugh Jackman. He’s used to the finer things in life – good food, a warm, safe cage to live in, and the run of the house when the humans are away. But when a rough sewer rat named Syd invades his happy home, Rodney’s plan to send him back via the toilet ends up with Rodney riding the u-bend to Ratropolis. There, he meets spunky boat captain (Rita), and finds out about a dastardly plan cooked up by Toad (Ian McKellen) to destroy the city.
There are some laughs to be found here, particularly a nice nod to Finding Nemo. Check out the trailer here.
