    I actually liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPS5Yw_YsHA Hogfather adaptation

    I read a lot of The diskworld series, and so did my friends . I think that those books become very “personal” for each person, more than most authors. And for some of people he opens their eyes to a lot of what is going on in the world (see attached clip)

    I know some people that completely broke up when they heard he was sick.

    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.

      God…the scene in the toy shop is brilliant. The actor playing Nobby nailed the delivery.
