02
The Cat Returns
Why this pick
A brisk, whimsical cat-led fairy tale with a resourceful heroine, playful absurdity and a charmingly offbeat magical world—ideal for the mischievous spirit of The Amazing Maurice.
03
The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!
Why this pick
Its delightfully ramshackle British humour, absurd schemes and warmly comic ensemble offer the same clever all-ages tone beneath a lively adventure plot.
04
The Magician's Elephant
Why this pick
This gentle animated fantasy shares Maurice's fairy-tale setting and unusual animal magic, while giving its quest a sincere emotional core and handsome storybook imagery.
05
A Monster in Paris
Why this pick
A colourful, musical period fantasy with an initially frightening creature, buoyant humour and a big-hearted message; it has a similarly polished European family-animation charm.

01 / THE STORY
A furry tale about me.
This story follows Maurice, a streetwise cat, who has the perfect money-making scam. He finds a dumb-looking kid who plays a pipe and has his very own horde of rats, who are strangely literate.
