The Colour of Magic (2008)

dir: Vadim Jean

As Rincewind involuntarily becomes a guide to the naive tourist Twoflower, they find themselves forced to flee the city of Ankh-Morpork to escape a terrible fire, and begin on a journey across the Disc.

Nowhere near Pratchett's wit, still the pieces are put well. Production values are quite nice for a tv movie too. The problem is too much is blunted out of Pratchett for family viewing.
