Flushed Away 2 (2026) brings back the charming and adventurous world of sewer-dwelling rodents in a long-awaited sequel to the 2006 animated hit. Directed by David Bowers and Sam Fell, the sequel picks up where the first film left off, continuing the story of Roddy St. James and Rita Malone as they navigate the whimsical, yet perilous world of the underground sewer city. While maintaining the humor, wit, and quirky animation style of its predecessor, Flushed Away 2 adds a new layer of adventure, with a high-stakes plot, fresh characters, and an environmental message that feels more relevant than ever.
Plot: A New Adventure in the Sewers
In Flushed Away 2, Roddy St. James (voiced by Hugh Jackman) and Rita Malone (voiced by Kate Winslet) are happily settled in the murky world of the sewers after their first adventure together. But their peaceful life is turned upside down when a new, mysterious threat emerges from the depths of the underground tunnels. A group of rogue sewer rats, led by the villainous but eccentric Baron Ratford (voiced by a guest actor like Idris Elba), is planning to take over the sewers and its surrounding areas in a sinister plot to pollute the entire system with toxic waste. The sewer city’s delicate ecosystem is at risk, and it’s up to Roddy and Rita to stop them.
When their home is threatened, Roddy and Rita are forced to team up once again to save the underground world they’ve come to love. Along with their loyal sidekick, the lovable slug named Sid (voiced by Bill Nighy), and a few new allies—including a clever tech-savvy rat named Dash (voiced by someone like Tom Holland)—Roddy and Rita embark on a fast-paced journey through dangerous tunnels, flooded chambers, and the sprawling city above to find the source of the pollution and put an end to the Baron’s twisted scheme. But as they get closer to their goal, they learn that the Baron has a secret weapon: a toxic, waste-fueled monster called “The Gunk,” which threatens to devour everything in its path.
Their adventure takes them through unexpected challenges, including encounters with other quirky creatures of the underground, like a mysterious group of sewer-dwelling frogs and an all-seeing bat who seems to know a little too much about the Baron’s plans. Throughout their journey, Roddy and Rita’s bond grows stronger as they learn about teamwork, friendship, and the importance of protecting their home from destruction.
