Dissapointing


Being a big fan of terry's work is was exicted by the idea of this and wyrd sisters, but i found them both to be lacking. The character designs and voices were pretty bad and the animation was just plain cheap. I know tv shows don't have the budget of movies but every dangermouse looked better than this. My biggest promblem with it was they were too 'kidsy'. They trouble all the power and trouble out of them to make a kinda bland reproduction.

They Changed the name to clear up the stupid joke once and for all, it's now called Urectum

I agree. When I first read The Colour of Magic & the Light Fantastic I thought WOW! The by the time I read Mort I had in my mind a film made by Jim Hensons Company a little like Dark Crystal. The cartoon version felt pale & insipid & albeit enjoyable I watched both films once & now they are sat on the shelf gathering dust (I didn't even bother to get the DVD when it came out & I no longer have a video so I don't even really know why I keep them!) I still wonder why they didn't start with the first book & work through them, Maybe Hogfather will be better being a live action film, I hope so!

I've swallowed the little book of calm.....
