Story Overview

Flushed Away (2006) is a fast-paced animated adventure that follows the misadventures of Roddy St. James, a pampered and self-absorbed pet mouse who believes wealth and status can solve any problem.

Living a life of luxury in an upscale London apartment, Roddy’s world is turned upside down when he is accidentally flushed into the sprawling underground metropolis known as Ratropolis — a vibrant, chaotic city hidden beneath the streets.

In this bizarre underworld populated by street-smart rodents, ninja frogs, eccentric servants, and musical slugs, Roddy must quickly adapt to survive. Stripped of his privileges, he encounters the resourceful Rita Malone, whose streetwise instincts challenge everything Roddy believes about class and entitlement.

As the unlikely duo confronts eccentric villains and navigates the dangers of this hidden society, Roddy begins to discover the value of humility, courage, and genuine friendship. Flushed Away blends sharp British humor, imaginative world-building, and high-energy action into an entertaining animated journey that appeals to both children and adults.
