![]() “Well, I am good, it’s true, but no no NO! One cat will NEVER do!” Surely “Amazing Maurice” is the answer to the infestation? The rotund tabby - funny character design - shows up in a town unchanged since the Tudors and gives the locals the hard sell spiel about “rat INFESTATION,” romping through taverns and barns crawling with rodents, rhyming couplets with a carnival barker’s zeal. The Carnegie award-winning children’s novel “The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents” makes its way to the screen more or less intact in a delightful and sometimes droll British animated film, “The Amazing Maurice.”Ĭreated originally for Sky TV in the UK but coming to theaters in the US via Viva Kids, it features Hugh Laurie as the voice of the “sentient cat” who ate the wrong thing and learned to talk and run a Big Con the length and breadth of what appears to be 18th century Britain.Ĭan you imagine Hugh Laurie as “The Music Man?” Of course you can, right here in Liverpool City! ![]()
