Flushed Away - 2006
After an ignoble landing in Ratropolis, a pampered rodent (Hugh Jackman) enlists the help of a sewer scavenger (Kate Winslet) in finding his way back to his posh London flat. Getting home is not the only problem, however; a rodent-hating toad (Ian McKellen) wants his notorious cousin, Le Frog (Jean Reno), to exterminate the pair.

It’s like saying Baby Geniuses isn’t a movie about child development, but instead about these horrifying mutant babies that try to overthrow Kathleen Turner for no reason by taking control of a giant robot. And all they do is poop and cry, because they’re children and it’s not like Rugrats exists or anything. It’s a Roger Rabbit reunion movie, without the cartoons or humor that made it funny. Bob Clark said, “Roger Rabbit, but live action, zoomed in and horrific.” Did I mention it was a children’s film?

The Movie was Originally Going to Be Aardman’s Traditional Stop-Motion Animation. But their Studio Burned Down with all of their resources, so they had to downgrade to Computers

[@tyrantrumflare3042]

If anyone questions it, that is a goof joke but also it's true the studio did burn down and they had to move too digital. Sad too because the fire destroyed there archive that held almost all of the models they used for all the films before Flushed Away

[@MarshFogBand]

The other reason is it hard to do stop motion with heavy amounts of water effects so ultimately that why they made it animated.
