A previously pampered society mouse must fight his way back to the comforts of Kensington after he is sent spiraling into an underground world filled with scavenger rats and villainous toads in a fun-filled
family adventure produced by
DreamWorks Animation and
Aardman Features and featuring the voices of
Hugh Jackman,
Kate Winslet,
Ian McKellen, and
Jean Reno.
Roddy (
Jackman) was living the high life when he first met
Sid the sewer rat (
Shane Richie), but that's all about to change when
Sid decides to send the hapless mouse down the pipes and stealthily take his place in the lap of luxury. Though the bustling sewer city of Ratropolis isn't without its fair share of kind citizens, it is certainly no place for a pampered mouse with a taste for life's finer things. Upon making the acquaintance of scavenger rat
Rita (
Winslet),
Roddy is certain that the pair can navigate their way back to the surface in
Rita's trusty boat, the
Jammy Dodger, but
Rita's help doesn't come cheap, and the nefarious
Toad (
McKellen) is determined to rid Ratropolis of all things rodent. When
Toad's hapless hench-rats
Spike (
Andy Serkis) and
Whitey (
Bill Nighy) fail to achieve acceptable results, the green meanie is forced to call in the cavalry in the form of legendary French mercenary
Le Frog (
Reno) to get the job done.
