A thread: In Flushed Away, Rita's grandma mistakes Roddy for Tom Jones, who is ofc a real man. That means either:
a) She's a rat in love with human Tom Jones
b) There is an identical rat equivalent of Tom Jones
a) She's a rat in love with human Tom Jones
b) There is an identical rat equivalent of Tom Jones
If we go with b) there must be a rat that is identical to Tom Jones in every way, which means there must be an identical rat equivalent of us all, meaning the sewers are a mirrored version of our Earth
Consequently, there must be a human version of Roddy and Rita, but that's hard to believe because Roddy lived with humans.
On the other hand, why would a rat be in love with a human? Furthermore, although she's old, how could she mistake a rat for 5'10" human Tom Jones who is not, might I add, rat looking
Is it normal for a rat to be in love with a human man? Does that not cross some ethical boundry Dreamworks? Moreover, they live a secluded life in the sewers, HOW DOES SHE EVEN KNOW WHO TOM JONES IS?!
Quote 'Mother, that's not Tom Jones' ALSO implies that Rita's mum ALSO knows what Tom Jones looks like, be he human or be he rat
Rat? Tom Jones poll
