The animated comedy The Amazing Maurice, a co-production between European studios, has the rare honor of being selected for the well-known Sundance festival. A new trailer below.
The feature film is based on Terry Pratchett's book The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, part of the famous world of Discworld , adapted into a screenplay by Terry Rossio (Aladdin, Shrek) and directed by Toby Genkel (Ooops!

The main character of the story is Maurice, a silly street cat who always has scams in mind to make money.

The film, expected during these Christmas holidays in the United Kingdom, has been included in the film list of the upcoming Sundance 2023 festival (January 19-29 in Park City, Utah), a rarity for a feature animated film.
