clip from Sky Cinema’s upcoming animated movie. The film will make its North American debut at Sundance on January 23 then release in theaters nationwide on February 3.
“Maurice is a sassy, street-smart cat with a sneaky disposition,” reads the film’s synopsis. “Together with his band of rats and pied-piper friend, he travels across the countryside, swindling villagers with a staged rat plague. All seems well when the gang sets its sights on a scenic market town, though they quickly realize that something more nefarious is afoot. The town is already plagued by food-snatching rats, a pair of criminals, and a mysterious boss at the heart of the trouble.
