Viva Pictures has unveiled the domestic trailer for the animated The Amazing Maurice [AMAUR] based on the children's book by Terry Pratchett. Hugh Laurie [HLAUR] voices the titled character cat. The Amazing Maurice will open in theaters on February 3rd.
Maurice is a sassy, street-smart cat with a sneaky disposition. Together with his band of rats and pied-piper friend Keith, he travels across the countryside, swindling villagers with a staged rat plague. All seems well when the gang sets its sights on a scenic market town, though they quickly realize that something more nefarious is afoot. The town is already plagued by food-snatching rats, a pair of criminals, and a mysterious boss at the heart of the trouble. Joining forces with resident narrator and mayor’s daughter Malicia, Maurice and his friends investigate trouble, fight daring battles, and discover the truth of the town’s unfortunate events.
