Based on Terry Pratchett's Novel. On Discworld (a world carried by four elephants standing on a huge turtle in space), a small girl, Susan Sto Helit, has got a major problem. Her grandfather is Death, who wants to forget that he has just "processed" his adopted daughter and her husband, who was Susan's mother and father, as this is causing him great grief, and Death is a person that can remember everything, much to his chagrin. Susan finds herself pressed into taking over Death's "duty", but finds that she is falling in love with an elf/human, Imp, who is slowly being taken over by a kind of "musical" force that is forcing Imp and his friends to play rock music to the Discworld. The rock music is proving to be a great success, but iit has plans for Imp and everybody wanting to play it, and it is up to Susan, the head of the wizards, the Archchancellor and Death (that is, if he can be found and made to remember who and what he is.) to stop it before it conquers the entire Discworld.

| User ReviewTheresa Ha great adaptation shows the plot of the book and the characters really well |
| User ReviewNathan DThis was a pretty good adaptation, and while I thought the animation was a little too goofy at times, they were generally successful at bringing the characters to life (well, cartoon life, anyway). The whole thing was rather long, being divided into seven parts, and it sometimes seemed like they were including everything from the book. This isn't entirely true, as, for instance, they left out all of the other rock bands that formed in Ankh-Morpork, aside from some brief episodes with Jimbo's band. Still, it included more than they likely would have in a feature film version. One interesting bit they did with the animation was to show the Band With Rocks In dressed in different classic rock outfits every time they performed. |
| User ReviewJesse DI love the Discworld books, but this wasn't a great adaptation. The only redeeming voice actor is Christopher Lee who makes a great Death, but everyone else is mediocre. The ugly art and animation doesn't help matters. |
| User ReviewMat KPratchett Rocks, Christopher Lee is cool and the movie has the line, "We're more popular than cheeses." |
