The Amazing Maurice Reviews

Feb 28, 2025

This movie Is terrible!

Aug 8, 2024

As an adaptation of Terry Pratchett's "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents" this movie falls woefully short. Gone is Mr. Pratchett's wit and insights into taking the good wisdom of previous generations while rejecting the hatred they carried, or of how we project our fears and hatred onto people different from us while justifying those same actions within ourselves. Characters are completely unrecognizable from their novel counterparts. Probably the worst thing done in this movie is that they took the novel and put a Mr. Bunsy has an Adventure filter over it, the very thing that Mr. Pratchett decried in his novel. Taken as a stand alone movie with no consideration of it being an adaptation, it's art style is what you would expect from a straight to 온라인카지노추천 movie (which it wasn't). There is a plot in there, or at least it has a beginning and an end, but don't expect much in the way of connecting those two points. If your kids enjoy the kind of animation and story telling found in your average Barbie movie, then they'll probably enjoy this as well.

This movie was great because it had a lesson that was rats have feelings like humans!

this movie was decent. it was a decent book adaptation, and it really had the potential to be great, but the story seemed a bit fast for the book's pace. sadly, the concept of conciseness was completely skipped out on. also, I really don't feel as if the movie was about Maurice. He really seemed like a side character, rather than the main attraction. but, I did think the humor was captured quite well. the animation style doesn't really fit the book, but it didn't take much to get used to the unique designs of the characters. another thing to note is the main villain. he seemed more silly than scary, and really wasn't intimidating. he felt out of place. overall, this movie could have been as great as the book, but it wasn't.

It looks like another failure to adapt Terry Pratchett to the big screen because they NEVER leave things the way he wrote them. The animation would be just OK... if it were 20+ years ago. Now it just looks cheap. I'd not say its as bad as the live action disc world adaptation that was so bad the estate made them say it was "inspired" by it rather than an adaptation. If you love his books, stay away as comparisons will only make a film like this look even worse than it is. If you have a child who ... who .. nope, just sit down and read them the book instead.

great movie. Terry Pratchett was a master story teller. This reminded me of watching Shrek for the first time

A pretty solid retelling of Terry Practetts anti-children's story-story, with a considerable amount of his charm and wit still present in the transition. If you are interested in introducing your child to a meta-commentary on how our stories are shaped and how they shape us then I would 100% recommend showing them this picture.

I loved it. My son was laughing and smiling the entire movie. Witty, innocent, family fun!

This was the cringiest, and most boring movie I have ever seen. I was so close to walking out of the theaters for this movie.

It was an interesting movie but there was no actual plot. the character and movie switched very often and was hard to follow along.

Fun movie for Terry Pratchett fans and maybe some older kiddos. If "magic" isn't acceptable for you, skip it.

Excelente película con varios giros en la trama, multivariada, amena y con muchos enfoques que la hacen bastante rica. No es una historia infantil tradicional y eso, opino, la hace interesante.

'The Amazing Maurice' dropped onto Sky in early December 2022 and is an adaption of Terry Pratchett's story 'The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents'. SYNOPSIS: 'A streetwise cat and his gang of rats come up with the perfect money making scheme.' This film looks gorgeous throughout and is a great tribute to it's source material. In it's cute parts it's delightfully charming and great for the younger audience. However, in places it becomes oddly dark, maybe macabre, and my 5 year old started to become uncomfortable and scared. Yes, it's pulling from it's source material but you'd have thought the film's producers would've been a bit more aware of what they were creating. The voice acting talent is exception and brilliantly led by Hugh Laurie, and David Tennant returning in rat form again. There are missteps throughout but it's a passable watch. 7/10

I felt like I was watching a Blue Sky Studios movie due to the animation getting smoother and more expressive.
