Is The Amazing Maurice worth watching? ›

Parents need to know that The Amazing Maurice is a fun, fast-paced animated tale based on a book by Terry Pratchett. It touches on adult themes but remains warm and entertaining throughout.

Maurice is a streetwise ginger cat who comes up with a money-making scam by befriending a group of self-taught talking rats. When Maurice and the rodents meet a bookworm called Malicia, their little con soon goes down the drain.

The Amazing Maurice / Film synopsis

They agree to do one last job, in the town of Bad Blintz, in Überwald. The rats set about planning their offensive, led by Darktan, their general, while Maurice and Keith, the piper, look around.

On the way home, Maurice finally accepts himself as a hom*osexual but resolves to stick to his class. Meanwhile, wounded by Maurice's refusal to answer his letters and treating him as just a servant for sexual service, Alec resorts to threatening Maurice in order to get his attention.

In addition to the violent scenes and scary visual images mentioned above, The Amazing Maurice has some scenes that could scare or disturb children aged 5-8 years. For example: Malicia is about to hit a rat with a saucepan when he starts talking to her. There are skeletons in a basem*nt.

The Rat King

He shapes himself as a human – Boss Man – so that he can gain power over the Mayor and the other humans.

The rats get to live in the middle of town and Bad Blintz becomes a tourist attraction with its talking rats, including a job for Keith as the town's official piper. The post-credits scene refers to a special remembering of Terry Pratchett.
