Trivia
The film was made during the pandemic by animation studios in Sheffield and Hamburg, with all the animators working remotely. A new pipeline was created specifically for the production. Not a day was lost from the schedule, and the film delivered precisely on time.

Crazy credits
There is a statement at the end of the closing credits: "GNU Terry Pratchett." This is a semaphore code in the Discworld that honors the deceased, and serves as a dedication to Discworld creator Pratchett.

this is a...

Story that has been told several hundred times in cartoons, feature and shortfilmlenght movies, theater, tv series and living very vividly in the folklore, namely the ratcatcher of hameln , germany, or the pied piper that stole all the children as ransom money for some ratpack work, so now you know...

but there are quite a few original digressions to the story, and maurice the cat is one of them, still not able to play the flute, he is the real mobster that steal from the poor and never gives it back...

production is pretty generic when it comes to advanced animation, and the first 30 minutes scriptwise isenglishenglish spoken uziwise at a heck of a speed without telling much actually, but after that it works, and they are able to draw you into the royamune of the ratking, an underground landscape so lavishly animated and coloured i just ended up fascinated.

So have a happy hour with maurice and his bunch, is a recommend from the grumpy old man.
