Latest revision as of 00:25, 8 August 2024

The Amazing Maurice is a 2022 animated feature film adapting The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents - the first produced feature film adaptation of Terry Pratchett's work. It's produced by Cantilever Media and Ulysses Filmproduktion for Sky Cinema, in conjunction with Narrativia.

Blurb

Maurice, a streetwise cat, has the perfect money-making scam. He’s found a dumb-looking kid who plays a pipe, and his very own horde of rats – rats who are strangely educated, and literate, so Maurice can no longer think of them as “lunch”. And everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers... However, when Maurice and the rodents reach the stricken town of Bad Blintz, their little con goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune. A dark, shadowy tune. Something very, very bad is waiting in the cellars. It’s not a game anymore. It’s a rat-eat-rat world down there and the educated rats must learn a new word...EVIL.
