Some authors are cosy. Some have coziness thrust upon them. For reasons too convoluted to explain, mordant British writer Terry Pratchett, who died in 2015, has become synonymous with the festive season.
So it’s apt this 3D cartoon adaptation of his 2001 Discworld novel (which isn’t Christmassy, per se) has received a December release. Currently, we need all the cheer we can get and, given an extra push by two Davids (Tennant and Thewlis), Toby Genkel’s visually quirky kids movie delivers.
