This animated family film is produced with Narrativia, the independent production company set up by the author in 2012 and is a co-production between Cantilever Media and Ulysses Filmproduktion for Sky Cinema. 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… 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 and the money received from the grateful town suddenly disappear and he reappears a suitable distance away to count the money 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. The film tells the tale of Maurice, a large talking cat, who travels from town to town offering to solve their sudden rat problem. The novel was the 28th in the Discworld® series and the first primarily written for a younger audience, winning the Carnegie Medal in 2001.
‘ The Amazing Maurice’ is the first animated feature film to be based on a Terry Pratchett novel – ‘ The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents’.
