Terry Pratchett - Soul Music (Animated)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Based on Terry Pratchett's Novel. On Discworld (a world carried by four elephants standing on a huge turtle in space), the young bard Imp y Celyn comes to Ankh-Morpork to become a famous musician, but a new guitar from a mysterious shop possesses him with a new kind of music - the Music with Rocks In. To make matters worse, Death, saddened by the death of his adopted daughter, has gone away to try and forget, and his granddaughter Susan suddenly has the family duty passed on to her.

loved it.The philosophy behind it was very real
Love the books. They did a great job with the animation and Christopher Lee as Death...perfect. Thanks for the upload.
"It's a harp."
"Lyre."
"No, really! It's a harp!"
Never read any of his books, but that is comedy gold.
You should definitely read the books...or get them on audiobook if you're not a massive reader...tons of funny stuff for sure..
...I'm sure there's a sneaky few kicking around on youtube
His books are full of jokes like that. You'll be reading a page, then suddenly realize that thing five sentences ago was a joke, and laugh your ass off. And you'll still miss like half the jokes, because they're so cleverly hidden.
Thats the classic Nobby Nobbs and Fred Colon. Best buddy coppers in the disc.
@joda7697 best part is when you get older and understand the references.
Each satirised something in our world. Some trope or institution .. very rich in jokes and puns
everyone hating on the animation, I think it's wonderful. I honestly miss when cartoons were actually drawn, just feels so much warmer and personal.
Far too much reliance on CGI these days. I agree, the hand drawn animation style almost helps with a connection to the animator. It just feels better, more organic. I get that using computers is quicker and cheaper but the quality really shines with proper hand drawn stuff.
People hating on these olden animations have literally no idea how painstaking and hard making non-cgi animation is.
Same here it part of the charm why does everything need to be realistic people watch films and TV to escape reality it a gimmick to compensate for poor plotlines poor character development
I got a Ralph Bakshi vibe from it, especially when they played in Sto Lat.
Pure nostalgic joy 😀
They say Shakespeare made great comedies in his day, well I think Terry Pratchett is the modern equivalent! I am in my late 60s and have read Terry's work from day one and I say he is a master of his art and the creature of the funniest smart comedy work since the Hitch hickers guide series. God bless Terry Pratchett, RIP, gone but never forgotten.
I remember reading the colour of magic ans thinking "it's a shame there aren't more of these stories"..
some of the best observational satire ever created , the history of discworld!
@Ping Pong I'm in my mid-70s. I love the Hitchhiker's Guide radio series, the tv series and the novels (which I've read multiple times and will read again and again) but to me the Discworld books and films are even better. Pratchett was a genius, I have no doubt about it.
@@dontaylor7315 I am fast aproaching that magic number which you have reciently passed, thank you for your comment. I guess many people won't understand why we find mr's Pratchett and and Adams so 'Top of the Writers pops, it is because we grew up on the radio shows as kids and they did not. Round the Horn, the Clitheroe kid, the Goons and so many more and then the start of TV and the raft of genius which that brought, so many I could not name them all but most sadly lost to the world, god we were sooo lucky and thank's for all the---- repeats. :)
@@pingpong5000 Ah, those radio days! As a gradeschooler I listened to Space Patrol and then in later grades (through junior high) to Gunsmoke, Suspense, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, and others. Missed Adams's BBC shows but rented a compilation of the tv episodes during the VCR era. Now on UA-cam I'm discovering and enjoying shows I didn't hear back in the day (especially CBS Radio Mystery Theater) and long-forgotten episodes of my old favorites.
I’m 23 and haven’t not read/listened to Terry at nighttime in years. He’s a hero!
Christopher Lee angrily shouting “Oh bugger!” is something I never knew I wanted until I heard it. RIP.
Wow Death slapped Mort so hard his children felt it.
This is an underrated comment 😂
It's death so yeah n mort was a virgin trying to get laid n failing in his book hilarious
INDEED!
"The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation."
from the Book of Numbers, King James Bible.
"We're on a mission from Glod" is definitely one of the top ten T. Pratchett quotes that pop into my head at very inappropriate moments (eg: church) and makes me giggle.
I have the same problem. I was once stopped by the police one night on my way home from a night out. They asked what I was doing and I said "I'm on a mission from Glod!" Luckily the officer must have been a STP fan and laughed and said "You're a long way from Ankh Morpork, mate!" One of my overriding memories of my early twenties and still gets told when chatting about Discworld stuff to this day.
That line came up precisely as I read it on your comment!
Go on, do that again!
@@simonhopkins1338 I don't know if I could bring myself to believe that if I hadn't had a couple of impossibly obscure moments myself -- like making a Buddy Bradley reference for no explainable reason to a strange girl who turned out to have actually worked briefly at Fantagraphics...
That and 'We are more popular than cheeses" :D
“It was sad music. But it waved its sadness like a battle flag. It said the universe had done all it could, but you were still alive.”
If only we could crowd-fund more of these. It'd be such a great gift to all to come if all of Discworld could be brought to life!
Here's a link to something nice, you can thank me later! 😉 ua-cam.com/video/V7v_TdLviUE/v-deo.html
@@magnetic3815 I'll thank you instead. The missus' has been a big Discworld fan for decades. We'll certainly enjoy watching both this and the other one, together! ^_^

R.I.P Christopher Lee one of the best villainous actors around and a perfect voice for death
"Gimp Y Kellen, best musician ever."
Sir Christopher?
"I'm still not really sure he's dead; probably just very soundly asleep."
"Sound-lee asleep; does sound like him."
SIR Christopher Lee you filthy peasant 😅
Problem death isn't villian
@@Cephlapodninja Exactly, he helps after they have died, he doesn't kill anyone.
To hear Christopher Lee to say "Oh, bugger" was great.
If you like that watch Wyrd Sisters, round about 28:43, as the lady who does the voice of Nanny Ogg (June Whitfield) does the filthiest laugh I've ever heard 😄. Marvellous!
The drinking bit was great too!
Ah yes. Pratchett simply was a master of closing story threads in the end. I really really loved the endings of each book, when all this little arcs going on over the whole story came to a beautiful conclusion...
I never quite understood the ending of Pyramids, though. Did pTeppic change his mind about leaving Djelibeybe? There is a reference to King pTeppic in another book, can't remember which one. Would love your insight on that, pretty please?
This is the first time I came across these animated series. I have been a reader of Terry Pratchett's books, loved reading them and people stare at me for laughing and giggling my head off whilst reading on my breaks at work. The legacy of Mr. Pratchett's to the world...Rip..
My favorite quote from death in all of Terry Pratchett books was I'm death not taxes I only show up once. Lol I couldn't stop laughing
lol Death rocking out as a final blow... that... it's just... so beautiful.
Playing "death metal" No Doubt
Rest is peace, dear Sir Pratchett. You were truly one of a kind
It's inevitable that the books are better, but I love these movie adaptations whether they're animated or live. There's a ton of commenters here waxing erudite on how not-perfect the animation is and I couldn't care less. This has real feeling for Sir Terry's work in it.
Yes.....and the voice acting is superb!
@@magnetic3815 True! The voices were amazing! I enjoyed this very much. Thank you!
Totally agree. The sheer amount of work this has taken is mind boggling and I take my hat off to the animators
@@matthewlilleyman469 3 hours of animation is nothing to scoff at.
Absorootly!
Wish he was still here.. so grateful for what he gave us ……
RIP TP
"we're more popular than cheeses" absolutely brilliant
Death was always the best part
Never tell death you can’t die. He will take it as a challenge
He needs no challenge. He knows everything, right down to when it's your time to be collected.
@@worldwatcher6999 rincewind? ?
@@davidharkin8554Luck will always decide, not that phony Fate.
Terry was a brilliant man.
No one will be able to replace him.
Too bad the BBC mocked his memory with the terrible animation.
@@cindydott452 umm...this was made long before STP died.
"The Watch" though...i expect STP would not have been a fan..
And a nice person too.
@@Bustermaniax Yeah, he was alive so he had to remember this!
Thank all the gods he never had to "watch" that other thing though.
(Anyone know if it's worth effort to try to find the "Truckers" movie?)
@@dogwalker666 Maybe Neil Gaiman can grow out his beard? He's a nice person too... or three.
RIP Terry Pratchett 😢💀🐀☠️🐀💐
Sir Terry, please.
@@geraldfrost4710 Don't.
14:30 Sounds like the job market. You can't get a job without experience, but how can you get experience without a job?
Discworld is a world grounded in reality and story telling.
@@worldwatcher6999 Like many great storytellers, the late great Sir Terry Pratchett liked to weave his own opinions on life, society, the human condition, and occasionally politics in his works.
My dad reckoned it was a joke about Equity (the actors' union in Britain). They require (or possibly required?) you to have a certain number of professional jobs under your belt, but getting them without being a union member was hard.
“We’re more popular than cheeses.” Sweet Lennon reference. 2:00:24.
Pretty sure "The Cavern" club in Liverpool was where the Beatles started, or at least a major step in career.
But Lennon didn't say "We're bigger than cheeses" til around 2010, well after this came out!
See: ua-cam.com/video/AsVKlOxacIM/v-deo.html
@@kenlieck7756 Mr Chrisoprace, stay out of this.
@@kenlieck7756 What, are you using Donald Trump as your fact checker? Lennon made his "more popular than Jesus" remark in 1966. He *_died_* in 1980! If he said "We're bigger than Jesus" in 2010, then I guess he proved his point!
@@viddork Click on the link I provided, doofus.
I love hearing Christopher Lee all sentimental at 2:24:02 followed by the hilarious change of 2:24:49 topped off with that wonderful deep voice yelling "Damn! She's got Binky!" at 2:24:58
Not to mention 2:31:38
GRIM: Poor old me. ☹
This would have been amazing to watch as a child, Terry Pratchett would've been great in movie format in TV.
Imp Y Celyn. Bud of the Holly. Buddy Celyn. BUDDY HOLLY.
So, with that in mind:
"The Music's boy rode for Llamedos
He fought the Music to save his ghost
And left that final concert in the past.
While the Reaper rode a wheeled machine
in a robe he'd borrowed from the Dean
Tearing up the roads and catching fast
No one gets to scape the Reaper
All who've tried wound up a weeper
the Lifetimer'd poured to nothing
So Life just held one mo' thing.
There rocking out upon that rocky top
Death knew the Music now had to stop.
So he smashed the axe and let it drop.
That day... the Music died."
Genius
The animation fits perfect for a Terry Pratchett presentation. I loved the book.and this brings it to a new light.
Thank you!
My kids loved this when it was first broadcast on free to air TV.
I said "Do you like this? Here's the book!" as I went to my family library and got out my copy of "Soul Music". And thus began their love affair with Sir Terry's work.
I tried, for years, to get legitimate copies of these two films, first as VCR tapes (it's that old) then as DVD's.
Now I can share them to my grandchildren and create a new generation of Pratchett fans.
I was very sorry when they did not use Christopher Lee for the role of Death in the live action films. My son says that he always 'hears' Lee's voice whenever Death speaks
Bit late I know but:
They did use Christopher Lee for DEATH in the Colour of Magic film. Though they didn't for Hogfather (they used Ian Richardson instead) or Going Postal (DEATH didn't appear). Marnix Van Den Broeke performed DEATH on set (he also performed Mr Pump in Going Postal).
@@Hundredyacrewoods Just checked my copy - funny I did not remember that.
Ian Richardson did a very good Death but he lacked that certain sense of menace that Lee was so-o-o-o good at.
I wish there were more of these films, like Feet of Clay or The light fantastic.
Only Cosgrove Hall could do justice to Mr Pratchetts incredible imagination. This, like Wyrd Sisters is BRILLIANT! Thanks for sharing!
"We're in a cellar, doesn't that matter?"
"No!"
haha, I don't know why that was so funny. Sir Terence David John Pratchett R.I.P you funny man you, I will miss your comedy, your books were my childhood.
My absolute favorite writer. May he rest in peace.
Ive been seeing clips of this popping up in my youtube feed for a while, but Im glad I sat down and watched all of this. It was really amazing
The same thing was happening to me!!! That's how I found this movie!
Funny I never caught on before. Infinity looks blue when viewed from outside. Like DEATH and Susan's eyes. You look them in the eyes you are looking at infinity from the outside.
out of the black and into the blue
There's something about this animation style that gives me the warm fuzzies.
Nostalgia. Yes. :D Sadly those videos eluded me as a child. But I am so glad to get to see them now :D
I wish I had discovered Terry Pratchett much sooner in life
I have this magnificent beast, alongside Wyrd Sisters on VHS. This is what I watched as an eight year old haha. To those criticising the art style, you live in a gilded world and I do not envy you haha.
To be completely fair, the art style is imperfect and dated. ... Full of nostalgia. I love it and I haven't even watched it before :P
Watch Terry’s interview on UA-cam. Made in UK. Think when it was made.😊
This old art style is not bad. Outdated is not necessarily bad.
Only less than a hour in and so far this is a wild trip if anyone knows more movies like this please hit me up
Ever play DnD?
Here is Weird Sisters for ya! ;-) ua-cam.com/video/UYhbiCygCGQ/v-deo.html
They have done some live-action adaptations of other books from this series but, to be honest, I never liked them as much as these two animated ones. Two of the better live action ones were "Going Postal (2010)" and "Hogfather." Give one of the Discworld books a go, m8.
2022 the amazing maurice and his educated rodents comes out soon, I think its ab animated show aswell
@@lewys9204 Thank goodness the artwork is far better!
Christopher Lee is perfect for this role
Best moment: Death tearing around a corner on a Death-Cycle, saying "Bollucks," and flying over the edge in a fiery explosion.
This is so amazing, I didn't know how much I needed this. I've read all the books but I had no idea this even existed. It's like Saturday morning cartoons but it's Discworld and with Christopher Lee. Epic awesome, thanks for this!!
I like how the Dwarf girls also have beards and moustaches
Seth Leoric the books cover the dwarven sexual revolution, basically female dwarves insisting it was okay to be different than male dwarves as outside of baby making dwarves recognized no difference. Dwarvish doesn’t even have a word for female.
They welded heels to their boots wore long kilts called “Dresses” and added color to their faces.
The one thing that even the most extreme of them would never consider was shaving their beards. It was one thing to not be male but to shave would be to be not a dwarf
play witcher 3, my friend :)
@@michaelbootes4822 dwarves are asexual no? Pop out of a Giant's armpits?
Tolkien also has this lore
@@onyxruby2524 hee real mythology? Garlic ........ bread!..
Christopher Lee plays Death with such tenderness and power. Absolutely perfect casting, we were so blessed to get this and Wyrd Sisters animated with such originality and charm
Christopher lee was the most wonderful and legendary actor in the world, he played count dooku,saruman,Francisco scaramanga,jabberwocky,Tim burton's,dracula and finally death, farewell Christopher lee it's too bad I could have meet you in person but that's all that matters, rest in peace Mr Lee I'll never forget you.
Also, Lord Summerisle. (The Wicker Man)
And a Death voiced by the immortal Christopher Lee, none the less!!!
1:26:57 "I have forgotten how to get Drunk" That line killed me. I almost fell out of my seat laughing.
I know I watch this movie at least 10 times a year!! I would love more of Sir TPs books animated !! Especially Tiffany’s books!!
Epic! But didn't have my fav line "we're on a mission from glod" still great
They did pretty good with the music. Having read the book, I wasn't sure how they would do the music.
Ludwig Wittgenstein said that you could write a book of philosophy based entirely on jokes.
Sir Terry proved his point.
Great old school animation, made feel like it was the 80's again.
I've read all the books, and found it hard to enjoy this movie at first as the characters didn't fit the way I imagined them.
The next thing I knew, the movie was over, and I had enjoyed it!
"Yeah, that's a horse that ain't there, sure enough."
I won't say that's the best line ever, but it certainly got a laugh.
This movie is pure acid.......
I love it!
Amazing 🤩 Terry Pratchett’s discworld was a big part of my younger years…. Love it 😊
"We're more popular than cheeses" best quote ever!
Would love to see this with modern day animation if not then with real actors!!
Well boy oh boy do i have good news for you while this movie exactly is not live action there are live action adaptations of other discworld books that are really good
@Hudson Allyn they are on youtube one is called hogfather and the other is going postal
How old do you think it is?

@@FishAreFriendsNotFood Do you mean CGI, then?
"So you can fill her head with a lot of logic and other modern rubbish?"
I love this XD
Thanks for this, when you realise how many hours of talent, probably thousands, went into this production, you remember when talent meant more than celebrity. A proper tribute to Terry Pratchett's writing. Excellent!
Talent has always meant celebrity. Hiw do you think John Wayne made so many movies?
@@Erika-ko4gbno it hasn’t don’t be daft. Plenty of very talented people who aren’t famous.
You've made a Yank very happy! Can't find Terry Prachett ANYTHING over here in the "land of the free" 😉 I only knew about the books because I watch (probably too much) pirated BBC. I love the animated versions! Thanks so much.
You're Welcome!
one of my more weirder accidental watches. was looking for actual music like for meditation or just good music. found a good movie instead. 9/10 good show
Sir Terry remains one of my favourite dining companions, though it only happened once.
i love these Terry Pratchetts animations they are awesome and i wish they made more of them. the books were great as well 😀
I agree!
@@magnetic3815 q
Books are great! I still read them over and over 😊
I remember the original series of "Disc World" & one or two other series on TV before TVNZ stopped it for some reason - it's late time slot didn't help, so I came hunting & found this, & more - cool 😎, a couple of days entertainment for the family.
1:14:49 “Ye gads, man, i wish i was a clever bugger like you and knew every *damn* thing”
UK viewers - shut your eyes and listen to the voice of the old lady who runs the music shop. She sounds just like Auntie Wainwright from Last of the Summer Wine tv series. Same personality too! Did Jean Alexander voice this character?
So many pop culture references in this
ya dont say, never read a Discworld book then...
Wonderful!! Thank you. And thank you Terry.

That was beautiful. Thank you so much! RIP Sir Terry.

@@davidharkin8554 i have added to the list of books to read.
Might start with whem death finds work as somethimg else.
C. Lee as Death: "Why are you walking around w/that duck on your head?" "What duck?" "Oh. Sorry." Wyrd Sisters (1997) AND Soul Music (1997) (dope Pratchett Discworld adaptations well-made for British TV). Magnetic, you're quite generous. Thank you!
They amazingly got some great voices for this. Accurate to the book. Good stuff.
This animation is so similar to the Halloween tree, reminds me of my childhood, love it
That reminds me, it's almost Pearl Arbor Day and I haven't put up my oyster tree yet...
I just sent this to my mum... she's so happy. Thank you so much!!!
You're Welcome!
I grew up on Tiffany's books. I mentored a kid and when I left I gave her the first one
Thankyou very much for this which, in my opinion, is one of those rare instances when the film/movie is better than the book! I don't say this lightly as I'm a huge fan of Pratchett's DiscWorld books but there are some very clever moments in the film that the book cannot give justice to. Especially the way each time the band plays it progresses through the stages of development that rock music followed. Starting with basic 50's rock through psychedelic to flower power, I thought this was a really nice touch. Also the puns of course, my favourite being a parody of Lennon's "We're more popular than Jesus" where Buddy says "We're more popular than cheeses" oh, so many good digs at those times.
That was certainly .... something. I don’t know what it was, but it was something.
Making RPG Maker levels with this in the background is hugely inspiring!
Some of the acting is a bit off (Susan sounds rather whiny) but Graham Crowden is a good Ridcully and of course you cant beat Christopher Lee as Death - "Oh bugger!"
She's portrayed as a child. You may be comparing it to her adult self, but children tend to change personality a lot, becoming more refined, as they mature.
Ade Edmondson as Quoth the Raven is brilliant
The Death of Rats is too cute!
oh dear someone completely missed the point at the end of the book where buddy gets a job in the chippy as in there's a guy works down the chip shop i'd swear he's elvish!!!

One of my most beloved childhood films, so glad to see it again
Cool thing is the whole soundtrack including full band songs is on spotify
Thank you for sharing this. It was a treat to see it again after so many years. I must re-read the book.
