00:01How did you get here?

00:03Come and have a go if you think you're fine!

00:05All my enemies!

00:07What are you?

00:08Disclose of him!

00:09He's my middle name!

00:11There they are!

00:12Fine, don't rats!

00:13Yes, you're a spider!

00:14You won't mind if I'll get the bubbles going in, will ya?

00:17Oh, you're going to bed for that,

00:19baby little chocolate croissant!

00:24We're very fortunate on Flushed Away,

00:25because we were able to pull together a terrific cast

00:27led by Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet and Ian McKellen

00:30and then we've got a great supporting cast of comedians,

00:33Bill Nighy and Andy Serkis and Shane Ritchie

00:36and Lefrague is played by Jean Renaud.

00:38Well, c'est la vie!

00:47I had a call about Flushed Away

00:50and I was told that it was the Aardman group

00:52and the group that had created Wallace and Gromit.

00:55Roddy is a pampered pet.

00:57He happens to live in a very beautiful London swanky home.

01:02When the cat's away, the mice will play!

01:07Hugh Jackman, he's just so wonderfully warm and charming

01:10and he brings that kind of warmth and that charm to Roddy.

01:13He's also a very funny guy.

01:15It was hard a word for him, I thought it was going to be.

01:18It's very exact because as an actor you get used to using your eyes,

01:22your face, your expressions

01:24and even though your expressions are duplicated,

01:27you have to get so much over with your voice.

01:30How did you get here?

01:31And I really enjoy that.

01:32I have got to get home.

01:34The captain of the Jammie Dodger might be able to help you.

01:37Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude, Mr. Captain Skipper thingy.

01:41Hey, that's Miss Captain Skipper thingy to you.

01:45Rita, who is voiced by Kate Winslet, who is so fantastic in this.

01:49She's street smart, she's savvy.

01:51There's a paper clip in my back pocket.

01:52See if you can get it.

01:53In the pocket, in the pocket.

01:55Rita is an absolutely fantastic role model.

01:58She dresses brilliantly.

01:59She's completely cool.

02:00She has very interesting usage of belts,

02:03wonderful Union Jack pants, excellent boots,

02:06sturdy, firm, solid, nice little sweater,

02:09ties her up in a groovy little ponytail

02:11and more importantly, she's a nice person.

02:14Cool.

02:15And she's strong-willed and she's feisty

02:17and she sticks up for herself

02:19and I think those things are very important.

02:21You're not entirely the useless, whiny,

02:24stuck-up, pompous, big girl's blouse I thought you were.

02:28Am I anything like Rita?

02:30You know what?

02:31Yes, I am.

02:32And I think every girl should be.

02:34I'm tough, I'm adventurous,

02:36I'm exciting and incredibly interesting

02:40and yeah, you know, I try to be as strong as I can.

02:44Absolutely.

02:45I think it's a very important quality for us girls to have.

02:49Hello, Rita.

02:52Hello, handsome.

02:53We have the best villain.

02:54We have Sir Ian McKellen.

02:56You know, who is this magnificent, you know,

02:59like knight of the English stage.

03:02But he plays just this wonderfully over-the-top villain.

03:06Dispose of them.

03:08He is the controller of all things, the lord of the sewers.

03:13Oh, he would like to think.

03:14He's a mad man!

03:15Run away!

03:16He has the biggest mouth I've ever seen.

03:18He's all mouth and goiter.

03:21You can't use your physical attributes.

03:24You have no body.

03:25You have no face.

03:26You have no gesture.

03:27Forget!

03:28The ruby!

03:29It's the master cable that I want.

03:31You've only got the voice and you have to put it all into the voice.

03:34Well, that's a wonderful, demanding exercise.

03:37I stand.

03:38I stand blue!

03:39Bonjour!

03:40Bonjour!

03:41Bonjour!

03:42Bonjour!

03:43Bonjour!

03:44Bonjour!

03:45Bonjour!

03:46The toad calls on his evil French cousin, the frog, voiced by Jean Reno.

03:51Conger!

03:52So you called the frog.

03:54He's gonna do the bad work for you.

03:56No, you're going to pay for that, my little chocolate croissant!

04:01He has a set of French froggy henchmen who help him accomplish his evil deeds.

04:11He's an archetype of a bad guy, more than a French archetype.

04:15Like the relationship with the girls.

04:17I like a woman with a little fire.

04:21But he's also an archetype of a smooth bad guy.

04:25I like that.

04:26You find my pain funny?

04:29I find everyone's pain funny but my own.

04:32I'm French.

04:33Are we going to do it the easy way?

04:36Or the hard way?

04:38Oh, I think we should do it the easy way, don't you Spike?

04:41Spike, voiced by Andy Serkis.

04:43And Spike's like this kind of little guy, and he's only about 16 years old.

04:46And it's his first job as a bad guy.

04:48And he tries really hard to be really mean and really, really cold-blooded.

04:53I suppose I was attracted to Spike because he's such a loser.

04:58It's time to bring out the persuader.

05:04He's absolutely lethal, or believes he is so good.

05:07Actually, he's soft as anything and terrified.

05:09Hey man, don't wear mittens!

05:11Take them off!

05:12You're embarrassing me!

05:13Well, it's alright for you.

05:14You've got a little hand.

05:15Well, they might be a little bit small, but these are little weapons!

05:19His partner's called YT, who's this big albino ex-lab rat.

05:23Find a rat.

05:24You've got to think like a rat.

05:27He's voiced by Bill Nye.

05:28He's just incredible, you know.

05:30He's so at the top of his game.

05:33Spike is small, sharp, and vicious.

05:38And Whitey is big, and lumbering, and slow.

05:42Target at 12 o'clock!

05:45Oh, come on!

05:47Spike and Whitey, yes, they are misfits.

05:51But they're very, very funny characters.

05:54Danger is my middle name.

05:56I thought it was Leslie.

05:58Throughout the whole film, I think they barely do anything bad at all.

06:01And they always end up in trouble themselves.

06:06Oh dear.

06:15Whoa!

06:17They do nuts!

06:19Repeat nuts!

06:20Have food like this in the sewer!

06:21Well, Sid's this kind of like crazy hooligan.

06:23You know, he likes eating a lot.

06:24He's kind of messy.

06:25Great fun.

06:26Voiced by Shane Ritchie.

06:27It's incredible, you know.

06:28Amazing energy.

06:29Brings to the par.

06:30My character is a slightly overweight, quiffed up rat.

06:35How did you get here?

06:36I don't know!

06:37One minute, I'm in the pub.

06:39Next thing you know, whoosh!

06:41It's a basketball domain.

06:42Off I go, shooting up the pipes.

06:45And, well, here I am.

06:47Sid spent all his life in the sewer, and all of a sudden he turns up to this posh, plush house.

06:52And, basically, Sid's out the other half.

06:54This place is great!

06:55I'm staying here forever!

06:58Funny enough, when they told me I was only playing the part, I had no idea what he looked like.

07:03And then when they showed me, I went, oh, he's just a little bit too close to me.

07:07Yeah.

07:08And I didn't realise, it was only after a while, I was looking at it and thinking, what's he wearing a t-shirt?

07:12It turns out it's a pair of underpants.

07:14So, basically, that's Sid.

07:15And if anybody's unfortunate enough to come round my house and see me first thing in the morning, that's very similar.

07:24It's going over!

07:26I'm doing something!

07:31When Roddy first lands underground, the first character he bumps into is a slug.

07:36And it terrifies him, so he screams.

07:38And it screams back.

07:41And he screams, and it screams back.

07:44And then the slug runs away.

07:47But, of course, being a slug, extremely slowly.

07:55And this joke went down very well.

07:57And then, as we went on, we started finding lots of other places where they could go.

08:01They started to sing.

08:02Poor, poor Roddy, flush down his old body.

08:07You would never think that a slug could be cute, but I think our slugs are really, really rather cute.

08:13High five!

08:14No!

08:17No!

08:21Aloha!

08:22Right across!
