Critics Consensus

You may not necessarily need to rush out and see it right meow, but The Amazing Maurice is a solid book adaptation that makes for fun family viewing.

Read Critics Reviews

Audience Consensus

Although it's probably a little intense for really young viewers, The Amazing Maurice should entertain anyone who enjoyed the book.

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.

It could be because of deviations from the source, the film's bland visual style that’s just unambitious enough to be annoying, or the unengaging story, but “The Amazing Maurice” is, well, less-than-amazing.

Rated: 2/4

What should be a cute story about a mischievous orange tabby cat instead becomes an ironic, even vaguely smug movie in the vein of something like “Deadpool.”

An entertaining way to convince kids to pick up the book.

I’m convinced that Maurice is amazing, but less so for the movie he’s in.

A lovely animation that captures the heart and spirit of Pratchett’s prose, The Amazing Maurice is an entertaining adventure for all the family.

Rated: 4/5

"Maurice" really is amazing ... and a tribute to the wit of the late Sir Terry Pratchett.
