Run Rincewind Run!

Just came across this today and it is sheer brilliance. It's how I imagined Rincewind would be; tall and scrawny!

Cant watch those in work unfortunately.

But as for Rincewind I think that the illustrator for "The Last Hero" really captured him perfectly. Tall, scrawny and pure misery defined

Not the best pictures -

I still don't agree with David Jason being cast as him, not suited to the part really. Just didn't look right.

It's a pity you can't see it, because it is the spitting image of those illustrations. Very funny too.

I thought the ending was fantastic when Rincewind goes up to Terry Pratchett and calls him a bastard

"We're Woodsmen"

I quite liked that one. It was made last year for Pratchett's speech before getting some award at some Sci-Fi event down under. **
/vagueness.

Definitely more how I imagined Rincewind to look like, but David Jason was not as bad as I thought he would be.


** I just noticed it tells you at the start it's the Oz discworld convention. D'uh to me.

Ah I really enjoyed that

See lads, I told you they were brown !

The looks on some peoples faces when he was running through the streets were good too.

The same productioncompany behind that have another in delelopment at the minute too called "Troll Bridge" starring Cohen the Barbarian.

This is after making me want to break out hte Soul Music and Wyrd sister AVI's I have but never watched yet (the cartoon ones with welsh voice actors) - anyone seen those ?

I thought it was a very funny idea to have him pop into the Real World. I would love to see a book to that effect! Rincewind's reaction to the book was pretty good, too.

Soul Music is pretty good. It has a great sound-track but the animation is a bit outdated.

I just watched the first episode of Soul music. The voice acting is a bit grating (Even worse for Wyrd Sisters) but I kind of like the style of animation it suits it I think. Plus soul music is one of my favorite books too

Ill sit through wyrd sisters as long as theres either "The hedgehod can never be buggered at all" of "a wizards staff has a knob on the end" sung somewhere throughout the film.

the cartoons were.... interesting
i'll say that for them anyway.

Haha, they were very nicely done & very funny; a stark contrast with the Sky productions. Which really shows you that it doesn't matter how much money or star names you throw at something, you need a group of people with a bit of comic timing
