True to Pratchett - Hogfather review by JD
The storyline is close to the book and loses none of the wonderful Pratchett humour. I and many I know love Pratchett's discworld novels, some are better than others, the good ones are the most fun you can have with paper. I'm sure Terry would have approved of this visual adaption. I think death is so good, to get so many gags out of it is amazing. I would single out Stephen Marcus who plays Banjo Cropper as a surprisingly good performance. Playing the strong idiot is rarely done well, this was done outstandingly. Great slapstick.
