Synopsis:

This mini-series combines live action and CGI to tell the story of 'Discworld'; a flat world balanced on the back of elephants. The prior mini-series 'The Hogfather', was also based on this set of novels.

The Colour of Magic is adapted from not one but two Pratchett books, The Colour of Magic (1983) and The Light Fantastic (1986), which were the first two Discworld novels ever published. Vadim Jean and Pratchett trim some aspects of the books the visit to Bel-Shamharoth, which was intended as a parody of H.P. Lovecraft; the meeting with Death's daughter; the visit to the mysterious shop in The Light Fantastic; and the venture into the Dungeon Dimensions and expand other aspects such as Trymon's schemings in order to draw the two books out into a single narrative. Although one surprise is the elimination of all mention of octarine, which means that the title 'the colour of magic' now doesn't make a lot of sense.
