The Amazing Maurice - Tumblr Posts

Finished watching The Amazing Maurice movie. And I think they could have improved it, but understand why they didn’t. I reckon The Amazing Maurice could be a TV series, either live action or animated, and I think that as a book this makes sense.

The Amazing Maurice is One of the Darkest Discworld books, there are things and it largely gets away with it because it’s Rats. And I think that’s the attitude the movie should have capitalised on.

I could imagine a community waiting to watch the power dynamics and struggles, a TV series which transcends the traditional “animation is just for kids” which more shows should strive to do. Because thats what the book is like. It is so adult whilst being so whimsical.

In short, it’s a movie that got the characters right, got the basic just of the story, and I do not regret watching. And maybe who knows, we could see another adaptation.

(I also think that Wee Free Men would make a great 2D animated TV series, but Now is not the post for that)
