Short description
It's the night before Hogswatch, usually a time of joy on Discworld, but there are suspicious going-on and the criminal underworld is abuzz. The beloved Hogfather - the jolly bearer of glee and pork-related gifts for children everywhere - has vanished. Suddenly, Discworld's entire mythical system is under threat. The fate of this magical time rests in the hands of a very motley group: A band of wizards headed up by a mystical university president named Mustrum Ridcully (Joss Ackland), a loyal manservant called Albert (David Jason), a level-headed governess called Susan Sto Heilt (Michelle Dockery), and her grandfather, who happens to be - Death (Marnix van den Broeke).
What's left behind the scenes
- The inscription on the back of the dean's robe is a reference to Terry Pratchett's (1948-2015) novel "Reaper Man" (1994) from the Discworld series, which also features Death with assistants.
- After filming a cameo role, Terry Pratchett was stopped at customs at an Australian airport. He had a large box of plastic teeth with him, which he had taken from the set. Pratchett explained the situation to the customs officers and advised them to start worrying when they came across a box labeled 'Death'.
- Writer Terry Pratchett appeared at the end of the film as a toy maker visited by Death.
