This is the rat story, with the rat city, that set like London, of course, in the rat scale, and rat building, cause the movie, made by English, all the english jokes, that sometimes, make you laugh with surprise, brilliant funny action just like mr.bean (famous comedian star from England).
Hugh Jackman with Kate Winslet(both Australian)played as Roody and Rita, used their English dialect, and Jean Reno, as Le Frog (used his French dialect), and of course British joke always make French people as a joke,but american action was take a place too, but this is completely British movie, you must see this, niche refreshing anime movie, not like another holywood anime movie, but had american character and picture.

Roody was a rat from high society apartment, he was life along in palace, with a lot of toys, as his friend, he lived a lonely life. Until Sid the bronx rat, unfortunately coming to Roody house, and he take away all of rudi life, he was flushed away by Sid, into the rat town,discovers a world very different to his own and it was the first time for Roody to life with the other rat, and their life so much different from his usually boring life, then he meet Rita, the adventure rat girl, they had an great adventure since they were take the cable from Le frog (the french frog bandit) that will be used to watch world cup final , actually football England team match, and Le frog hired all the gangs he have to took the cable back again.
Simple story, with a delightfull animated effect, and so many surprise joke, uniquely fresh from England.
The soundtracks, were good to, u will be heard JET,billy idol, tina turner,tom jones, fatboy slim,and special performance its characters, The Slugs . They even provide vocal support on Bobby McFerrin's mellow "Don't Worry Be Happy". "Ice Cold Rita", also featuring Hugh Jackman, who voices the primary rat, The slug is the most fun of the tiny tunes, beyond a few dozen moments in the film far better, it's funny to watch them come, in the moment that you will never think about, and the frog ninja,too, they are trully funny character, you must watch their french scene, with one of them as a cell phone..

This is one alternative animation movie for this year, hope you watch it,
enjoyy Plumbing Soon!!
