Maurice is a proud cat who likes to be called “Maureece” but is actually “Morris”. He tells everybody he is the star of the film because it is named after him. At least, we let him think that’s how it is. Maurice starts out selfish but, by the end of the story, he will have sacrificed himself to save one of the rats. Of course, being a cat, he has nine lives, so how many does he have left when he makes the sacrifice? Oh dear, he’s lost count. That can’t be good…
Malicia Grim is our heroine. She is very smart, sharp, cunning and weird. Close to genius, but also close to insanity. Certainly, for her, the line between reality and a story is blurred, very blurred at times…
