Dreamworks' Flushed Away and D&D are not often put into the same sentence. This is because one is a children's film made with claymation, while the other is an iconic role-playing experience. However, Dungeons and Dragons is only universal because of its hand-tailored stories, and anything can be seen as material for a D&D campaign, even something as childish and immature as Flushed Away. A tragic villain plotting to flood an underground city resembles many narratives, though in the movie it is done with a goofy cast and light-hearted tone. If a dungeon master were to take the plot of Flushed Away, give it a more serious tone, and replace the cast with his players, that could be a campaign for years! Stories are always inspired by other stories, so if a writer is able to derive an exciting adventure from the book Holes, or the show Friends, or even the movie Flushed Away, they are a good storyteller. Maturity has no place within the quality of a story, and the transition of Flushed Away into a fantasy epic is proof of just that.
