    Сast and Crew

    Production

    The idea for a film about rats that fall in love in sewers was proposed by animator Sam Fell during the production of Aardman Animation's Chicken Run (2000). At the time, Aardman encouraged everyone at the company to come up with ideas for features for the DreamWorks partnership. In 2001, Fell, development executive Mike Cooper, and producer Peter Lord then developed the concept into a story before pitching it to DreamWorks. The film was first announced in July 2002, and in what was then a surprise move, it was revealed as being Aardman's very first CGI feature project. Lord described the pitch as "The African Queen with the gender roles reversed". After the film was announced, Comic writing duo Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais were contracted to write the script, which had the working title Ratropolis. In 2003, David Bowers joined in to direct the film with Fell.

    Another cartoon from childhood, where I only remember a good romantic line. The appearance of the characters didn’t work.

    It was so fun to watch when I was younger!)

    Watched

    I watched it as a kid when I wasn’t a particularly demanding kid, I rewatched it now and it turns out I still like almost everything. The love story is perceived with a creak of course, but the rest is just as funny and cute. I was surprised that it has such low ratings.

    A rodent and his adventures after being flushed down the drain, which led to the acquisition of something more valuable than material goods, with a different perspective on the world.
