Most of the cast is excellent, and the writing is very clever. Couple those elements with the fun, cartoony animation, and one gets a pleasing little family film that, thankfully, does not fit into a specific mold.

Courtesy of source material by offbeat fantasy maestro Terry Pratchett, it’s genuinely eccentric enough — with its sly talking cat, intrepid band of gold-hearted rats and chronic aversion to keeping the fourth wall intact — to come off as charming rather than smarmy.

Even if it’s not wholly “amazing,” “Maurice” is close enough, a flip and fun film about a rodent conspiracy.

This is a film with a lot of charm, and gives cinema its most lovable rats since Ratatouille. But I did wonder at points who the audience is.

It could be because of deviations from the source, the bland visual style of the film that’s just unambitious enough to be annoying, or the unengaging story, but The Amazing Maurice is, well, less-than-amazing. Only a game voice cast keeps it from total disaster.

It's still not quite Pratchett-y, still a little static – most especially in the oddly flat animation – and still not quite snappy enough. But that doesn't stop Maurice being an entertaining way to convince kids to pick up the book.

Despite a villain that does everything possible to elevate The Amazing Maurice, this is a forgettable movie. I think kids will have a decent time with it. Adults won't be as fortunate, and it'll take a lot of restraint to not stare at their watches.

En tant que fan de Sir Terry Pratchett, j’ai trouvé vraiment chouette que les réalisateurs aient réussi à retrouver l’esprit du livre. L’humour, le côté sombre, la critique sociale… la seule chose qui ne me convient pas, c’est finalement le design assez convenu des personnages principaux. Mais finalement c’est juste un détail. Je suis content que mes enfants de 4 et 7 ans y aient pris du plaisir et aussi y aient eu des sensations . Bon divertissement. Intelligent et malin.

Consegue ser muito divertido e criar personagens realmente simpáticos, ainda que com a velha fórmula unidimensional: quem é bom é bom, e quem é mau é mau, exceto pelo gato principal, e o filme explora muito bem essa faceta de Maurice.
No geral, o roteiro flerta com diversos contos de fadas, em especial com o flautista mágico e gato lembra bem o da Alice. Ele se junta aos ratos e, junto de um garoto doce e simpático, saem de cidade em cidade encenando o que seria uma limpeza na cidade com o garoto sendo o flautista e os ratos atuando na hipnose. Parece simples, mas é muito bem feito.
Algumas cenas realmente tiveram enquadramento interessante, como algumas lutas, não ficou óbvio tecnicamente falando, o que confere um saldo muito positivo à trama. A solução final envolvendo as 7 vidas do gato ficou muito boa. Enfim, é um filme feito para ter cenas movimentadas, sem a profundidade da Pixar, ou momentos de contemplação, ainda que consiga cumprir exatamente o que promete, muita diversão. Valeu o ingresso.
