Meet the cat Maurycy and his cunning pack in sensationally funny adventures in the land of magic and spells. Witness daring tricks and plans that could only be born in one cat’s head. Because this ginger friend is not a ponytail, but a real king of scams, who knows how to show his claws and always lands on his feet.
The Amazing Cat Maurice is the first animated feature film based on the work of the cult writer – Terry Pratchett, whose legendary Discworld series has sold over 70 million copies and is on the list of one hundred best-selling literary series in history. In the original language version of the animation, the voices of the characters were given by: Emilia Clark, Himesh Patel, David Tennant, Gemma Arterton, and the role of the title cat was played by Hugh Laurie, who is none other than Doctor House, adored in Poland.
Maurice’s cat devises the perfect scam. Supported by a “silent partner”, he wanders from city to city, tricking people into the alleged “rat plague” that only the sound of a magic flute can overcome. The truth is, however, that rodents are good buddies of Maurice, very clever and outspoken, and the instrument is only enchanted in name. With no one suspecting fraud, business is great and Maurice’s gang gets rich quickly. The real challenge, however, is still ahead of the team. It all starts when a happy gang ends up in a town where someone else is trying to turn their own evil swindle into life. Will Maurycy & Co., supported by the mayor’s daughter Melissa, discover who is behind it all and save the residents before it’s too late?
