Awesome / Flushed Away

Go To

  • As Roddy tries to dupe Sid into leaving his home by, he tries tricking him into thinking the bathroom toilet is a Jacuzzi, but Sid catches onto his solution and pushes him in and flushes him down into the sewers. Shows how Sid's not that dumb.
    Sid: You think I don't know a toilet when I see one?
  • The city scene between Roddy, Rita and the Toad's henchmen. Accompanied by the song "Bohemian Like You"!
    • During the chase, Roddy notices a floating balloon and tells Rita to head for it. Roddy grabs the rope and pulls the balloon towards a tunnel, blocking it from the Toad's thugs. True, it gets burst seconds later thanks to Spike and Whitey, but the fact that it was the naive Roddy, rather than the street-wise Rita, who came up with the plan, shows awesome Character Development on his part.
    • After Spike punctures the balloon which blocked the bridge, he boards the Jammy Dodger by using a mouse-trap as a catapult.
    Whitey: Are you sure about this, Spike? These things are supposed to be dangerous.
    • As Spike has Roddy cornered, Rita hits the turbo and suddenly Spike's line looses its stretch, much to Whitey's shock. Roddy's exchange puts the cherry on top:
      Roddy: (noticing the cord attached to Spike is about to reach its limit) Yes, yes. Could you fly, quite suddenly, off the boat, screaming like a girl?
      Spike: What?
      Whitey: Oh, dear. (holds his nose)
    • When the two heroes cheer after escaping from the goons, Roddy spots an oncoming boat and Rita makes a quick dodge and makes a loop-de-loop around them, sending sparks flying.
  • After Roddy manages to get back home, he finally manages to grow a spine, and lets Sid know he has had ENOUGH.
    Sid: What?
    Roddy: MOVE OVER! [Sid does exactly that]
  • Roddy and Rita's first confrontation with Le Frog.
    • Roddy sends a sleeping fly flying, distracting the frogs and getting their tongues stuck together (sans Le Frog), and Rita pulls down a branch, snagging their tongues on and sending them off the Jammy Dodger.
    The Toad: You rats! This is not over yet!
    • When the Jammy Dodger is being sent down an abyss, Roddy uses the Jammy Dodger's mechanical arm to grab a pipe. Quick thinking, Roddy!
    • After Le Frog sends them plummeting to their death from kicking the fingers off the pipe, Roddy and Rita use the plastic bag which was used as the ship's brakes to lift them up to the surface.
  • In the climax, Roddy faces off with the Toad. As he discovers that the pipes they're fighting on are filled with liquid nitrogen; giving Roddy the "Eureka!" Moment by preventing the flood: by pulling the pipes apart and freezing the large wave! Even better when every civilian in Ratropolis noticed and finds Roddy atop and cheers to his heroism.
    Rita: You're a hero, Roddy.
