About Terry Pratchett's Discworld Collection

"There is no end to the wacky wonders . . . no fantasies as consistently, inventively, mad . . . wild and wonderful." -- Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine

THE WORLD IS FLAT! (But ably supported by four elephants floating through space on the back of a giant turtle.)

The Discworld, that is, as created by Terry Pratchett in his phenomenally popular sci-fi/fantasy books. Pratchett’s cast of wizards and witches, dwarfs, trolls, and giants hail from familiar myths and legends, but in the Discworld they’re a whole lot funnier. Two of Pratchett’s best tales come alive in these animated adaptations produced for British television.

A little bit Shakespeare, a little bit Hollywood, WYRD SISTERS recounts how three hard-working witches get mixed up in a royal mess when they’re handed a murdered king’s baby to protect.

An epic adventure with a soundtrack that really rocks, SOUL MUSIC follows the rise of a teenage musician from obscurity to Discworld super-celebrity as a rock star who’s made a deal with Death.

DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE storyboards, interview with Terry Pratchett, Pratchett bio, character bios, and more!

Wyrd Sisters - The novel

As are all his books, this one is no exception. It is witty, full of great insights and full of dry - tongue-in-cheek humour. It was very enjoyable. He creates great images. November 25, 2008

This would be great.. except

I would have given this five stars, except, like all the other Pratchett movies apparently, there are NO CLOSED CAPTIONS. If you're deaf, you're out of luck. Unacceptable. October 29, 2008

Discworld is wonderful

It's good to see discworld in video format, just wish the animation were a little more modern. October 17, 2008

Pleased the whole family

My husband and I are huge Pratchett fans. We had Wyrd Sisters on video tape before we learned that it was out on DVD. Soul Music just seemed icing on the cake, especially since our toddler loves it. She loves music and just fell in love with the guitar on the show :D.

We can't wait to see if the BBC releases more of the books as cartoons or live action. October 3, 2008

Terry Prachett's Discworld Set

I watched Terry Pratchett's "Hogfather" and enjoyed it very much. When I went on Amazom.com to order a copy, I found that Terry had other movies. I ordered "Wyrd Sisters" and "Soul Music". Hogfather contained real actors. Unfortunately when I started to watch the first of the other videos, I discovered they were in cartoon form (but not for young children). I was somewhat disappointed, but still liked the videos. I was spoiled by "Hogfather".
All three movies are very similar. I love British humor and they certainly fit the bill. In "Hogfather" there was so much going on that I had to watch it more than once.
In summary, I liked the movies very much. If you do not appreciate the dryness of British Humor these movies are probably not for you September 30, 2008
