Book Review: The Amazing Maurice: The Art of the Film

The Amazing Maurice: The Art of the Film - 01


This is a wonderful companion artbook for The Amazing Maurice, the animated film based on the novel The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett. The book's a large format 192-page hardcover published by Titan Books and authored by Ramin Zahed.

The book features lots of concept art for the characters, props, locations and sets. The artworks are beautiful and there are many sketches. The highlight for me would be the set designs, especially for the interior spaces, rooms, houses. Those set designs look so lived-in. There's a lot of charm with the hand-drawn art in this book.

The other highlight is there's plenty of text to read about the little details and to learn more about the designs and characters.

I don't expect many copies of this book to be printed because the movie doesn't seem to have much marketing, and it earned only US $20m at the box office over an estimated US $17m production cost. So if you want to get the book, do so early before it goes out of stock.
