    Tonight’s family movie: Terry Pratchett’s The Amazing Maurice. Which somewhat to my surprise, for I’m a cynical old thing, is really very good indeed. Darn funny & dashed meta & even a little dark at moments. Well, hurrah!

    Just got my nephew and niece, 4 and 6, to watch the Amazing Maurice, the CGI movie based on the Discworld novel. Both loved it. I was a little worried it might be Dreamworks-iued, but I was pleasantly surprised at how it was a good adaption of the book, with a few fun cameos and Easter eggs.

    Just finished the Amazing Maurice. What a lovely time the film really felt to me, like it captured all of the fun of the books themselves. I almost cried seeing cameos from Rincewind and Twoflower, Death was great as always. And it's always a pleasure to see the Grim Squeaker.

    I’m listening The Amazing Maurice Audiobook and I will never, ever, get over the fact that in the TV movie they put various rats in clothes, and Dangerous Beans in a long ‘Where’s Wally’ woolly hoody. “And waistcoats on rats don't work.”

    *Curb Your Enthusiasm music plays* Though I will say it was because of timing. The Amazing Maurice was the only kids movie besides Puss in Boots, and The Pout Pout Fish was right between Hoppers and Mario (not to mention releasing the same weekend as Project Hail Mary).

    The Amazing Maurice (movie) is amazing! (Book obviously also amazing) Great way to make it into a scary but still child-appropriate film. I didn't know about the sequel either, kind of sceptical what this one's gonna be though as there is no STP source material :/

    The Sky adaptations are just those three. There's animated versions of Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music that you can probably find on YouTube, and a recent animated film of The Amazing Maurice that I watched on Hulu. The supposed tv adaptation of The Watch is... not faithful.

    to people who were arguing a sequel to the Amazing Maurice was against his will. And if I didn't get it wrong he said long ago that a sequel to Good Omens would rather be a film than a book? And yes, S2 was a bridge between the book and the unwritten sequel bc you need that in film, so ? #GO

    It's like The Amazing Maurice (which is like I read articles on TVTropes, the movie) on scary steroids (because it's not really spooky or anything, it's The Amazing Maurice and its not that good but it has a really funny title so it's funny to reference in an innocuous fashion). Just wrote baloney.

She took it all in and is full of chat about each character and loads of details. She also noticed that Dangerous Beans has the same voice as the Highway Rat #DavidTennant

    I quite liked the premiss of this animated comedy. The eponymous orange cat travels from town to town promising to help the citizens eliminate their perennial rat problems. Raising all the cash they can, they pay him and out of the blue a young lad appears and Hamelin-style, pipes all the offending rodents out of the town. Shortly afterwards, though, we realise that this is all a scam. "Maurice" is in league with his team of rats, and with the piper, and the money is to be used to enable them…
