To me, my personal fear when it comes to this movie is that they'll end up making Maurice too serious.

In my opinion, Maurice was one of the strengths of the original movie. He was goofy, silly, wacky and hilarious. He could be dumb at times, but he had a kind heart.

He was a lot like Pinkie Pie from "Friendship is Magic", or the Janitor from "Scrubs".

But from what I'm hearing of this movie...and what I saw of him in the trailer...they are gonna make Maurice a more serious character.

And that, in my opinion, is a mistake.

Kevin Kline proved in "A Fish Called Wanda" that he is great at comedy, so it would be a shame if they remove all the humor from the Maurice character.
