I feel that sort of connection makes one more “critical” cause it’s not " their Terry" up on the screen.
Agreed. The cast could do that 1950s British comedy goofiness but also could express sadness when needed. A better budget would help , some of sets were great, some not so much.
I remember showing that movie to friends from work that not familiar with Pratchett. They were having a great time till death does his speech on lies and the nature of reality. They looked like they just went through a car Crash.

Michele Dockery did a great job as Susan.
God…the scene in the toy shop is brilliant. The actor playing Nobby nailed the delivery.
