Can't believe this didn't win the Oscar, let alone be even nominated!


What an exceptionally poor year at the Oscar's 2007 was for the animated feature film category!

Monster House had a right for it's nomination, but Cars didn't - the worst offering by Pixar by an absolute country mile. Happy Feet was something a bit different and had its own charm so deserved a nomination.

That Flushed Away didn't even score a nomination in such poor company is just ridiculous, in my opinion it not only deserved to be nominated (in place of Cars), but absolutely deserved to win over Happy Feet and Monster House.

Anybody agree?

The Oscars don't mean very much, it's all hype.

Means nothing, I don't remember any years where I wasn't at least mostly dissapointed in the winners.

I really liked this movie and totally agree with you that it should have won at least once.

Flushed Away is a clever film, but it's not that funny. Some of the gags are telegraphed or cliche (been there, done that) quality.
