A good adaption of the book

This animated film is based on "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents", which is a wonderful book that is well worth a read.Look at the quality of the animation, I found it to be generally good and occasional great. The color palette was fairly standard for an animated film, but the attention to detail in each frame was impressive. The character designs were okay, but not particularly unique or memorable. The world building was decent, but it did not offer anything particularly new or interesting.The voice cast was good, Hugh Laurie is always great, and the whole cast did a decent job of bringing the characters to life. The humour, emotion, and depth were okay, and occasional great.So, "The Amazing Maurice" is a decent animated film that has its good points, but also some areas for improvement. The animation is okay, the world building is decent, and the voice acting is entertaining. If you're looking for an pretty good animated film that will pass the time, this could be a good option. However, it's not a must-see film that will leave a lasting impression.

Decent Film and It's Good Enough for Children

Saw this at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival."The Amazing Maurice" is a story that follows Maurice, a goofy streetwise cat, who has the perfect money-making scam. He finds a dumb-looking kid who plays a pipe and has his very own horde of rats, who are strangely literate. I love animated films and I usually like to check out animated films from smaller studios to give them chances. As part of the Sundance Kids selection, while it's cheesy and unspecial, this is probably one of the better children films to show for kids. I have never read the book before but the film does offers some charm and has a decent personality.The main story is pretty basic and predictable but even it's simple setting, the film does have some fun humor and the tone understands itself without taking itself fully seriously. The animation models and colors were simple but they were pretty good and had some cute looking characters. Most of the voice acting was pretty good especially actor David Thewlis who gives the best voice performance from the entire cast. For the most part, it was never boring despite it being pretty predictable and some of the characters could have been explored a little more.Overall, it was alright but good for children to have a good time.Rating: B-
