It has a flavour, a texture that simply cannot be produced any other way. Artists spent weeks, for example, addressing the two million envelopes lining the corridors with real Discworld locations. It comes as no surprise to learn that an unusual (in modern terms) amount of it was filmed on set rather than digitally created. Discworld (Imaginary place) - Fiction, Postal service - Fiction, Civil service - Fiction, Civil service, Discworld (Imaginary place), Postal service. A more febrile and endearing mass of nerves, loyalty and pin love I shall surely never meet.įrom the giant golem that imprisons and protects von Lipwig to the tiny clay-coloured beetles that infest the postmaster's long-abandoned desk, every scene is bursting with lovingly realised detail. Ian Bonar deserves a special award for his turn as pin aficionado – or "pinhead" – Stanley Howler. The streets are lined with fantastical, tottering buildings that seem almost-but-not-quite to deny the laws of physics, and every performance seems to cleave to the same principle – climbing vertiginously but never quite going too far and overbalancing.
It's all boundlessly clever, joyful and exuberant.
