The Amazing Maurice | Directed Toby Genkel & Florian Westermann | 93 minutes | Animation, Family | English | Certificate PG
Streetwise cat Maurice travels between towns, offering to solve their sudden rat problem. When he arrives at each location he unveils Keith, a young boy who can play the pipe quite well, and the rats march out of town to the relief of the townsfolk. Maurice, along with the money he receives from the grateful town, suddenly disappears and he resurfaces a suitable distance away to count his earnings along with Keith and the rats! But these are no ordinary rats – they talk and wear clothes and dream of an island paradise where rats and humans live together in peace. All goes well with their ‘rat scam’ until they reach the town of Bad Blintz, where they meet a book obsessed girl, Malicia, who leads them on an adventure to solve the mystery of her town. Adapted from a Terry Pratchett children’s book, this is an animation all about storytelling.
