Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was made during the pandemic by animation studios in Sheffield and Hamburg, with all the animators working remotely. A new pipeline was created specifically for the production. Not a day was lost from the schedule, and the film delivered precisely on time.
- Crazy creditsThere is a statement at the end of the closing credits: "GNU Terry Pratchett." This is a semaphore code in the Discworld that honors the deceased, and serves as a dedication to Discworld creator Pratchett.

Featured review
Being a fan of Terry Pratchett's work, I felt slightly apprehensive when I heard that The Amazing Maurice is being made into a family film. The end result, however, is as entertaining and charming as I could hope for!
There have been some changes, of course, but the spirit of the book is pretty intact, even if somewhat lighter. The visual jokes are in line with Pratchett's style of humour, and the grim and sad tones of the story get through without getting too upsetting.
Most of the character designs are really good, the only really disappointing one being Malicia's needle-thin-with-a-massive-bobble-head design that is so typical of 3D animations of the past decade.
All in all I'm positively surprised with the film!
