FLUSHED AWAY
On July 6, 2007 [00:27 to 3:51] Tabitha leaves for a holiday, leaving her pet rat, Roddy St. James alone. The next day Sid, a sewer rat comes up through the pipes and flushes Roddy into the sewer. Roddy finds the underground rat city and meets Rita, skipper of the Jammy Dodger, who might be able to take him home. She’s hiding out from the Toad’s henchmen, Spike and Whitey and after Roddy helps them find a ruby Rita has taken from The Toad, both are taken to The Toad. After Roddy accidentally destroys The Toad’s collection of royal memorabilia, the Toad decides to freeze Rita and Roddy in liquid nitrogen. The pair escape and take the master cable with them from The Toad’s base in an abandoned sewer control station. Roddy gets the mistaken idea that Rita and her family are going to turn him over to The Toad in return for the reward and steals her boat. Rita catches him and they make up and escape The Toad’s henchmen again. The next day, after yet another confrontation with The Toad’s men, the Jammy Dodger is destroyed, but Rita and Roddy parasail into his old home in Kensington. He gives her two jewels as payment then she returns to the sewers. A comment by Sid enables Roddy to grasp The Toad’s plan. The Toad plans to open the floodgates, so that when everyone uses the toilet at the same time at the start of half-time in the England versus Germany FIFA World Cup match, the rat city will be flooded, allowing his numerous offspring to settle the city. Roddy gets Sid to flush him again. The Toad, who uses the master cable to open the floodgates, has captured Rita. Roddy rescues Rita and together they use the liquid nitrogen to freeze the wave just before it destroys the city. Rita buys the Jammy Dodger II and she and Roddy sail off together.
A calendar @34:40 shows the World Cup match on July 8 (a Sunday @6:15), so the movie starts two days before.
