The amazing maurice book6/11/2023 ![]() Here's a look into the nitty gritty of the kitties (and rats) of "The Amazing Maurice," released in Europe in late 2022 and in North American movie theaters on February 3, 2022. In the movie, after being beaten down by Keith, Maurice gets his mind back and then chooses to kill Spider, which shows how little movie Maurice really cares about killing things that can think. In 2019, production on an animated feature adaptation of "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents" began (via Animation World Network), and while it may not have received the pre-release attention as films by the likes of Disney, Sony, or DreamWorks, there's plenty to enjoy. In the book, Spider, still at his strongest, makes the mistake of suppressing Maurice’s thinking mind and unleashing his inner cat, which then eats him. ![]() ![]() The book remains amongst Pratchett's most acclaimed work, even winning the accomplished author his first major literary award, the Carnegie Medal. One of the award's judges, Karen Usher, would even say of Pratchett's novel, "This is an outstanding work of literary excellence – a brilliant twist on the tale of the Pied Piper that is funny and irreverent, but also dark and subversive" (via The Guardian). The film is based on the 2001 novel, "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents," by late British author Terry Pratchett, the 28th installment in Pratchett's satirical fantasy series "Discworld" and also the first of the series geared to children. ![]()
