The Amazing Maurice | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 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 Feb 3, 2023 Full Review The Amazing Maurice | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Calum Marsh New York Times 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.” Feb 2, 2023 Full Review The Amazing Maurice | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle An entertaining way to convince kids to pick up the book. Jan 31, 2023 Full Review The Amazing Maurice | Rotten Tomatoes (4) John Serba Decider I’m convinced that Maurice is amazing, but less so for the movie he’s in. Jun 8, 2023 Full Review The Amazing Maurice | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Kat Hughes THN 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 May 9, 2023 Full Review The Amazing Maurice | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Linda Cook OurQuadCities / WHBF-TV (Illinois) "Maurice" really is amazing ... and a tribute to the wit of the late Sir Terry Pratchett. Rated: 3.5 stars Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

retnap 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.
