Trivia:
Andrew Falvey, who played the title part of 12 year old Johnny Maxwell, the same role he played in dramatized excerpts from Terry Pratchett's book in this earlier documentary, recalls: "One of the highlights of filming was when Terry Pratchett came out to the shoot one day and said I was the perfect Johnny. I just went bright red, I was so pleased."

Johnny and the Dead is the second of (so far) three Johnny-Maxwell children's novels that Terry Pratchett has written. And it is easily my least favourite. The story centres around Johnny Maxwell and his friends, who for some reason begin to see the dead. No - forget Sixth Sense. This is not a serious or scary movie. The dead are merely unhappy, because someone wants to build a parking lot or shopping mall on their cemetery, and they are bound to stay there until all eternity, so they'd prefer it to remain a cozy cemetery forever.
Johnny and his friends get involved and try to rescue the cemetery. What is supposed to be a funny and lovable story about respecting and aiding your elders is just plain boring in this TV adaptation. I doubt kids will enjoy this TV movie (or series, depending on how you watch it) very much.
