Based on children author Terry Pratchett's novel of the same name, The Amazing Maurice follows a streetwise ginger cat who comes up with a money-making scam by befriending a group of self-taught talking rats. As the synopsis reads: "When Maurice and the rodents reach the stricken town of Bad Blintz, they meet a bookworm called Malicia and their little con soon goes down the drain."

Joe joins David Tennant, Himesh Patel, Rob Bryden and Julie Atherton as members of the cast whose roles haven't yet been announced. Although Joe has lent his voice to other animated films in the past, including Wonder Park and A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, the new movie will be his first as a major character.
The exciting news comes less than a week after Joe bid farewell to The Syndicate, which was his first-ever on-screen acting role. He appeared in the BBC One drama a musician who finds himself in hot water after realising his girlfriend, Roxy (played by Line of Duty's Taj Atwal), is pregnant and soon begins to doubt his reliability as a future father.

He continued: "I'll treasure it forever as a memory of my first go at acting on screen! (Hopefully not the last!). Huge shout out once again to all the cast and crew that made this such a special experience."
