I personally like how death freezes the mom, really shows how much he cares because he wants to know what SHE wants instead of what her mother THINKS she wants
"it's the expressions on their little faces I like" "A sort of a mix between fear and awe, they don't know whether to laugh cry or wet their pants" 😂😂 best Christmas movie ever
Halfway through the hogfather and absolutely adore the books so much, and yes he is. The books are so weird but you never really get lost on what is happening!

In the lore, people generally don't understand he's actually Death Himself. Their memory buggers it up. Some don't even recall seeing anyone at all, while others might recall a tall and thin fellow with a really deep voice. Though children seem to notice since they know better.
@@DISTurbedwaffle918 not so much because they know better, but because children are less bound to the commonly accepted "reality" adults & society as a whole are. for example, if you say you've seen an alien irl people tend automatically default to thinking your crazy or lying. if your a kid, it's just your imagination. additionally if an adult or a kid that's more logical thinking then the rest where to see an alien they'd default to thinking that their hallucinating or that it's just a dream. if it's an entire town, mass hallucination from non-existent chemical leak. it would take them appearing across the planet, to multiple live news outlets and leaving enough definitive proof that even the various governments of the world can't cover up for a proper confirmation.
A shame they cut some of the dialogue when the watch men come over to arrest Death/The Hogfather. The reaction of that one guardsman when he discovers that Death has given him a really expensive crossbow in the book is really priceless.
Wishing Nobby's reaction was more of the "THEY HAD TO RIP THE (crossbow) REVIEWER'S ARMS OFF TO GET HIM TO LET GO OF IT!!!!" flavour of the book but otherwise wonderful.
The death of Terry Pratchett's Discworld in this movie is perhaps THE most accurate approximation to the grandfather/general Moros (Ancient Greek: Μόρος; personified spirit of impending doom), who is known to friends as Mor (russian: Мор; pestilence/epidemic), which we will see in English cinema. And this is the reason why the Russians are not so panicked about the grim reaper, he's a good neighbor after all, reliable and very punctual.
@@tomf3150 There was a Turkmenistan dictator, Gurbanguly Berdimukhamedow, who banned first black cars, and later all color cars other than white. So yes, it is entirely possible to be that crazy.
Probably the best incarnation of Nobby. Fits the role perfectly.

The only way to do it better is kind of funny given the actor in this very scene once played another character who is very much like Nobby, Baldrick Sodoff.
I want Hololive EN to reënact this. Death: Calli (or ERB) Albert: Kiara (or CeCe) Nobby Nobbs: Gigi Susan: Kronii (or Raora) Quoth: Mumei Death of Rats: Bae Oh God of Hangovers: IRyS Teatime: Ollie Tooth Fairy: Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame

Well, when Death interacts with the living, it's usually on a very personal level...
i also like the fact she broke out of freeze when death gave the sword
"its a sword, there not meant to be safe"
my favorite line ever!
thx for posting

And have you been a good bo... a good dwa.. a good gno.... a good individual?
That part gets me every time!
To be fair to Death, Nobby is hard to classify.
But he has a paper that proves that he's human.
The BEST Christmas movie ever!!!! Terry Pratchett is a genius, without a doubt. The discworld books are a treasure to be, well, treasured.
It's the same thing as Nightmare Before Christmas if you think about it. just saying...
Too bad they didn't finish it.
Halfway through the hogfather and absolutely adore the books so much, and yes he is. The books are so weird but you never really get lost on what is happening!
I watch the movie every year at christmas :3
@@Scorponox93 I really wish they had
What’s funny in all of this, even Death doesn’t know what Nobby is.
I can assure you he is human, he has a certificate to prove it.
He was kicked out of humanity for shoving.
That's a purebred Nobbs, that is *nods*
I can't tell if the actor is good for nobbs or isn't inhuman enough
"I, after hearing evidence from a number of experts, including Mrs. Slipdry the midwife, certify that the balance of probability is that the bearer of this document, C.W.St John Nobbs, is a human being. Signed, Lord Vetinari. @Barthedanz "
I like the idea of nobody questioning the fact Hogfather is a skeleton.
Actually... in the books, the kids were the only ones who noticed but didn't seem to mind.
This is kinda explained in discworld overall.
Adults don’t see death because they just subconsciously refuse to.
Only children and cats see him.
Olira And witches and wizzards of course, they can see things that are really there you know.

Not just any watchman. Its corporal Nobby Nobbs
@@lucianfrostbane WatchMAN? Are you sure? I wouldn't call him Watchcreature.
That's one of the funniest parts!
"They had to break both the reviewer's arms to get him to let go of the thing."
That's Nobby Nobbs. Disqualified from the Human race for shoving.
It actually takes place in the Maul, a pune or play of words on the word Mall, the Maul is located in the Ankh part of Ankh-Morpork.
This deserves so many more views. Is criminally underrated.
Props to the actor playing Nobby - he’s got the perfect toothy, shit-eating grin I imagine for Corporal Nobby Nobbs.
But he IS a human - he even has a certificate proving it.

The shopkeeper is Tony "Baldrick Sodoff" Robbins, wonder if he has a "Cunning Plan" to deal with Death-Claus ;)
I wish more people could see the works of Terry Pratchet.

I want a Burleigh and Stronginthearm crossbow!
Don't we all?
Shoutout for Corporal Visit-the-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets.
It's not supposed to be safe. It's a sword.
What if she cuts herself!
That would be... an important lesson...
Ironic that they cast Tony Robinson opposite Nobby, who was basically Baldric.
lol : )
Oh gee, I never thought of that!
Thank you I can now enjoy this on another level.
Wrapping gifts, obscuring them from Judgement, is an Abomination unto Nuggan
Oh please, not only was he insane, he is now dead. Seriously, who forbids chocolate, cats, the colour blue...

AMCW: mostly out to make you look stupid. Ultimately catching the bad guys, but mostly making you look stupid
Nobby Nobbs our smelly little king ♥️
Being Hogfather is suffering.
Perfect Nobby.
3:52 hello Baldrick
Have you been a good individual? XD
Did someone say contract? /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
AH! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Probably the best incarnation of Nobby. Fits the role perfectly.

That was a pün
Nobby was pretty good

Anyone know what the music is that is playing at the beginning of this scene in the department store? I can't get it out of my head!
Nobby rules
whats the name of the store
Has some resemblance to Chet Atkins' Mister Sandman.
@Joeybugman oops got confused with Downspout
I want a Red Ryder BB gun
can't have , You'll shot your eye out
@@lordfaladar6261 that would be an important lesson.
Nice, but his name isn't Klaus. It's Keith.
Zoe Sokey it’s Beau Nidle...
Really? I think he looks more like a Leonard.
what is this from?
+Timothy Creighton Hogfather
Hogfather movie, based on Hogfather book, part of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.
Why does it sound like RoboCop fucked my eardrums?
hmm... it sounds allright to me...
is... is that oil in your cheek? just right under your right ear...
oh...
Why's the sound all fucky?
copyright
the sound is horrible
Better to seek full movies in higher quality.
The music here sounds a bit like Mr Sandman.
Isn't Visit a gargoyle?
Nope, he's a devout Omnian.
Nah that would be Downspout.
