4/5 True to the books
  by R. Rutan (Ramstein, Germany)
As a long time fan of Terry Pratchett books, I was very please with these two animated versions of the books. Definately worth the buy. If you want an even better Terry Pratchett movie, try Terry Pratchett's Hogfather; it's done with live actors.

5/5 Another great DiscWorld DVD story by Terry Pratchett
  by Mrs. Alice S. Franceschini (Petaluma, CA)
I love this series of DisWorld books by Terry Pratchett. And this English made DVD is a hoot to watch
the character brought to life. I bought one book just to see what they were about and I love the story
line so much I went out and bought all the DiscWorld series books and DVDs I could. DiscWorld is a make believe
world of a giant sea turtle, with four elephants on it's back, with a large disc on the backs of the four
elephants that floats around space. Most stories take place on the discworld but there have been occasion
when the inhabitants of discworld try to climb down the disc to see what gender the sea turtle is.
Humor abounds with an English accent with witches, drawfs, trolls, elfs, watchmen and other delightful
categories of folks with a dragon\creature thrown in.

5/5 an excellent version of two Pratchett classics!
  by Thomas Mailloux (New Jersey, USA)
Of the two titles in the DVD set I liked Soul Music best. Terry Pratchett was at the top of his game when he wrote this and much of his wit come through the screen nin thbis animated film.

It s set into short, about 1/2 hour chapteers, allowing for eaasy access to any part of the film where you lleft off. I liked that feature a lot. Life pops in so easily, it seems, and picking up where you left off is handy.

The story is a magic takeoff on the classic tale of a boy going to the big city to become a star. Will, this kid does with a vengance! Whenh hhis harp is accidentally broken he buys a magical replacement, which leads him to mega-stardom when he brings "music with rocks in" to the Disc. The music is a rapid run through the history of rock and roll, from Buddy Holly to the Beatles to Hendrix. It is all fun, but with danger and death (or shuuld I say DEATH) around the corner. Death's grand daughter is the love interest and the story crashes along to the conclusion.

Many laughs and lots of fun.

The second DVD, Wurd Sisters, is a shakespearean melodrama, assuming old Will to be madcap and sariric. This is good fun, too. Yoou will love Granny Weatherwax!

1/5 VERY MISLEADING!
  by Delamaine (Seattle Eastside)
We had no idea this was a cartoon instead of a live action film. Both hubby and I were looking forward to another enjoyable night of a "Hogfather"-quality live action film, and this was definitely a shock, to put it in the player and find out it was animated. You should know this before you buy or rent it.

As such, we only saw the first 3 minutes of Wyrd Sisters before stopping, so I can't comment on the story's fidelity, although the animation was very weak for the amount we did see.



2/5 Honourable adaptation
  by Dothy (France)
As any Terry Pratchett fan, I have of course read the books before watching the movies or playing the videogames. The impact of this movie is under the impact of the book. I am a professionnal inbeetweener for animation films, and it is probably what made my disapointment in front of this movie. It is strictly correctly adapted, following the same sceneray, the exact dialogs. It just looks like a book read by very brittish voices. But the animation is very poor, even the drawings themselves look like a cheat, there are several scenes used several times in the movie but with different dialogs. I do appreciate it has been made years and years ago, but it was not the birth of animation, and here even the colours are not attractive at all.

And above all I would say this adaptation is strictly LIKE reading the book as it is very long and perfectly matching almost every line of a book. So this movie is clearly for Terry Pratchett's fans, only adults as it is defenitely not an adaptation for kids, and it is just as reading the book out loud with coloured pictures to illustrate it.

Not perfect, not really what you could expect for an animated movie adaptation.
