----------
Terry Pratchett's Hogfather (2006)
Notes Written 12/25/2023
Format - DVD
-----

  The first, and only good, live action adaptation of a Terry
Pratchett novel in the form of a two part mini-series.  The Hogfather
is a three hour take on one of the best Discworld novels and worth
the time to watch.

  Well cast and acted around a solid take on the source material,
there is little to complain about.  Even the bit of CGI bullshit
needs to be graded on the greater BBC curve where it is actually
rather competent by comparison to most other Sky productions.  Even
the usual complaints of things left out from source book are tempered
by obvious necessity.  The writers are to be commended for how well
they accomplished their goals with minimal literary casualties.

  Someone in the house is re-reading The Hogfather every Christmas
season while the movie is a Christmas Eve or Day tradition for the
lot of us.  Anyone else looking for a solid holiday movie would do
well to track down a hardcopy or..."acquire" a digital file.
