Headscratchers / Flushed Away

• So, who was it that called Thimblenose Ted about Roddy and Rita's direction and destination? All he says is it's "a tipoff." Was it Liam? He seemed pretty vocal about turning Roddy in to the Toad.
  • It's possible. I mean, he had the idea of selling Roddy to the Toad. And, according to Rita, no one else has interests in his ideas.
• The film takes place under London. So why does Rita's mum have an Irish accent and why do her siblings all know Irish step dancing?
  • She probably hails from the Emerald Isle itself. The sewer under London IS treated like a city after all and it's hardly uncommon for cities to have people of different cultures and nationalities living there. Even taking into account that we're talking about "animals" and not humans, the American tourists would verify that it's not impossible for rats to travel that distance...
• How were both Le Frog and his henchmen able to survive being frozen (and also be able to escape)? at the end of the film, they are shown right as the new boat is being driven past them standing on a sidewalk thing shortly before the credits start
