My pet Rat is "FLUSHED AWAY "
Do you know about the new animated rat movie thats now showing?
The story of a pet mouse who gets flushed down the toilet and ends up in an underground city populated by rats, frogs, slugs and other critters, the film exhibits the frenzied pace and overbearing characterizations that have become standard in U.S.-born-and-bred animated features. The voice casting (Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Ian McKellen, for starters) rests somewhere between Pixar inspiration and everybody else’s laziness, but the story is strictly perfunctory -- and further hampered by the sort of puerile gags that have come to define Yankee toon flicks (lots of blows to the crotch in this one).
...there's nothing like some good ole rat P.R...

Cooool! Sounds awesome
It's going to be a good film, no doubt about that, but I'm worried that kids will end up having a new pet rat for Christmas as a result of this film, and they'll end up not knowing how to care for it, or getting bored with it, or at the worst, flushing it away to see what happens! Reminds me of the whole problem when Finding Nemo came out, the sale of fish soared, yet nobody knew how to take care of them.
As ratty owners, can we all do our bit to keep an eye on pet shops to make sure nobody has pet rats for the wrong reasons?
