Terry Pratchett’s The Amazing Maurice in animation this Christmas
The new all-European project between English and German studios is the animated comedy The Amazing Maurice, of which we show you the first trailer immediately below.
The main character of the story is Maurice, a silly street cat who always has scams in mind to make money. One day he runs into an innocent looking boy with his horde of strangely literate rats and plans to use them for his purposes. Complicating matters will be an innocent-looking girl named Malicia.
The feature film is based on Terry Pratchett's book The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, part of the famous world of Discworld , adapted into a screenplay by Terry Rossio (Aladdin, Shrek) and directed by Toby Genkel (Ooops! Noah Is Gone..., A Stork's Journey, Ooops! The Adventure Continues) and Florian Westermann. Produced by Sky Cinema, Ulysses Filmproduktion and Cantilever Group, the animations are produced by Studio Rakete and Red Star 3D.
Among the voice actors of the English version are actors such as Hugh Laurie, Emilia Clarke, David Thewlis, Himesh Patel, Gemma Arterton, Hugh Bonneville, David Tennant, Ariyon Bakare, Rob Brydon and Julie Atherton.
Expected in theaters in UK in Christmas 2022 and around the world shortly thereafter, here's the first trailer:
