The Amazing Maurice

This movie deserves a higher rating than 6.3. Come on. This is great for the kids and great for the adults. The animation is beautiful and story-like, and at the same time, the movie is very tongue-in-cheek with what 'we' expect fairy tales to be.

Maurice the cat, thinks he is the main character, obviously, but contrary to the title, the other characters are just as amazing. It's this silliness that makes you feel invested in the characters. Hugh Laurie does an amazing job as a prideful, yet sensitive Maurice. Himesh Patel is Keith, the boy with a low sense of confidence in himself, and Emilia Clarke is the colourful Malicia. The mice in the story also play a fun role, but I don't want to give the details or spoilers away.

Watch it - you'll love it. It's a great movie for kids and adults alike.
