Review

 

Based on Terry Pratchett's worldwide best selling fantasy book, Hogfather is set on the semi-medieval but strangely familiar Discworld. And the Hogfather (you know, the jolly fat man) who delivers presents to the kiddies at Christmas at the midwinter festival of Hogswatch has gone missing. But it's vital that all the presents are delivered, otherwise the sun won't rise tomorrow. However, there is another supernatural entity who can be everywhere at once and, most importantly, knows where everybody lives. He is Death, but with a false beard and a few cushions that he reckons might just work.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Happy Hogswatch everyone!

A faithful adaptation of the book, thoroughly enjoyable even by those who never read anything by Pratchett before (like my mom!) and with a stunning Ian Richardson as Death. Kudos to the special effects guys who did many small miracles with the limited budget of a TV movie.
If you like Pratchett, or just fantasy that touches important themes without forgetting to be fun, then this movie is definitely for you.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Happy Hogswatch! . . (belated).

A nearly-perfect adaptation of one of my favourite Discworld novels, if a bit lacking in pace. The only real flaw is the lack of Christopher Lee's voice as Death (who gave the character such gravitas in the animated 'Soul Music'), which was quickly rectified in the not-quite-as-good-but-just-as-watchable 'Colour of Magic'.

I hear the next adaptation is going to be 'Going Postal' and I'm quite looking forward to it, although I'd love to see adaptations of 'Reaper Man' and 'Mort' at some point.

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars Hogfather

I really enjoyed Johnny and the bomb and thought I'd give the Hogfather a try. From beginning to
end I couldn't work out what it was supposed to be about, I'm still lost now lol!
Yet when I read on this page that Japtuning's 7 year old Daughter was enthralled by it, I'm
completely amazed she understood it. Japtuning you're obviously a better person than me lol!
I did however managed to find it amusing to see the Grim Reaper enjoying a hot cup of co-co and
a biccy lol!
