What two rats work for Toad in the 2006 movie "Flushed Away"?

The two rats who work for the Toad in the 2006 film Flushed Away are Spike and Whitey. They serve as the Toad’s principal rat henchmen and are sent after Rita Malone after she steals back a valuable ruby.

Spike is the quicker-witted and more aggressive member of the pair, while Whitey is an albino rat who is more sympathetic but also gullible. Their contrasting personalities provide much of the film’s comic villainy: Spike tends to push the schemes forward, while Whitey often follows along with less confidence.

Flushed Away is set in a miniature sewer city beneath London called Ratropolis. The story begins when Roddy St. James, a pampered pet rat, is flushed from a Kensington apartment and meets Rita, a scavenger and boat captain. The Toad, voiced by Ian McKellen, plans to eliminate Ratropolis’s rodent population, making Spike and Whitey important enforcers in his campaign.

The movie was the third and final collaboration between DreamWorks Animation and Aardman Features after Chicken Run and The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Although it uses computer animation rather than Aardman’s familiar clay animation, it retains the studio’s distinctive British humor and character-driven comic timing.
