    Editorial Reviews

    David Jason, Tim Curry, Nigel Planer, and Sean Astin star in writer/director Vadim Jean's imaginative adaptation of The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic -- the first two books in author Terry Pratchett's popular Discworld series of fantasy adventure novels. Naïve tourist Twoflower (Astin) is on holiday in Ankh-Morpork when a terrible fire breaks out, forcing him to flee from the city alongside an incompetent wizard named Rincewind (Jason). Now, as the clueless pair set out on a magical journey across the disc, neither realizes that they are merely pawns in an elaborate board game being played by the gods. After encountering a pair of barbarians on their way out of Morpork, Twoflower and Rincewind take a trip to an inverted mountain housing dragons that only exist in imagination, survive a fall off the edge of the disc during a perilous visit to the country Krull, and attempt to beat Rincewind's former classmate Trymon (Curry) to a collection of eight spells that could save Discworld from total destruction. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

    September 27, 2009: Wonderful story by Terry Pratchett brought to life in the wonder-where of the Disk World.

    One can only hope they will continue to add to the video library of the series.

    September 14, 2009: I was very excited to find another Discworld DVD. This one is very enjoyable. It takes its name from Terry Pratchett's first Discworld book (actually more of a collection of stories), but also covers storylines from the second book. Although it skims over some of the storylines, I think that it stays true to the "soul" of the Discworld. I would like to say that Sean Astin was not my idea of Twoflower whom I always thought of as Asian (I'm half Japanese), but he turned out to be very convincing. Overall, two thumbs up.
