FLUSHED AWAY (PG)

In DreamWorks Animation's computer-animated comedy "Flushed Away," 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) comes out of the sink and decides it's his turn to enjoy the lap of luxury, Roddy schemes to rid himself of Sid by luring him a dip in the "whirlpool." Roddy's plan backfires when he accidentally 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 (Sir Ian McKellen), who despises all rodents and would like to see that Roddy and Rita are iced… literally.
