    • Quotes

      Mayor of Quirm: Really, all we know about is making cheeses. And some rather popular cheeses at that.

      Imp y Celyn: We're more popular than cheeses.

      Glod Glodson: Buddy, be careful!

      Mayor of Quirm: What... did you say?

      Imp y Celyn: I said we're more popular than cheeses.

      Mayor of Quirm: Guards!

      [Burning of band materials and rioting]

    Decent Animated Version of Terry Pratchett's Masterpiece
    In many ways this Discworld cartoon is perfect -- for example, who else could play Death but Christopher Lee? And the soundtrack, which charts the history of rock n' roll from Elvis, through the beatles and psychodelic rock as 'Music With Rocks In' is introduced to the Discworld, is simply brilliant.

    But there are times when it just fails to capture the same atmosphere and intelligence that is present in Pratchett's writing.

    Maybe someday soon a film with be made, after the success of Lord of the Rings, and particularly if the upcoming Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie is successful. And cast Christopher Lee as Death!!!
