Expect a few scary scenes, including the presumed death of a character, a threatening rat king with magic powers and glowing eyes, and rats being thrown into a pit to be killed by dogs - accompanied by betting among spectators. While the characters lie and manipulate others, they show strong dedication to one another and value the importance of friendship. Main character Maurice (voiced by Hugh Laurie) is a streetwise cat who works with talking rats and a flute-playing human, Keith ( Himesh Patel), to trick towns into paying them to solve a non-existent rat problem. It touches on adult themes but remains warm and entertaining throughout. Parents need to know that The Amazing Maurice is a fun, fast-paced animated tale based on a book by Terry Pratchett.
