Sheer poetry, dear boy.

I was going to put a short bio here but I thought better of it. If you really want to know anything about me you can ask.
Just so everyone knows I am quick to anger. Like a wizard but without the impressive hat.

Albert looked up and dived for cover, receiving only mild bruising because he had the foresight to curl into a ball.
After a while Death, his voice a little muffled, said: ALBERT, I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD GIVE ME A HAND HERE.
Albert scrambled up and pulled at some of the huge volumes, finally dislodging enough of them to allow his master to clamber free.
HMM… Death picked up a book at random and read the cover.
DANGEROUS MAMMALS, REPTILES, AMPHIBIANS, BIRDS, FISH, JELLYFISH, INSECTS, SPIDERS, CRUSTACEANS, GRASSES, TREES, MOSSES AND LICHENS OF TERROR INCOGNITA, he read. His gaze moved down the spine. VOLUME 29c, he added. OH. PART THREE, I SEE.
He glanced up at the listening shelves. POSSIBLY IT WOULD BE SIMPLER IF I ASKED FOR A LIST OF THE HARMLESS CREATURES OF THE AFORESAID CONTINENT?
They waited.
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT-
“No, wait, master. Here it comes.”
Albert pointed to something white zigzagging lazily through the air. Finally Death reached up and caught the single sheet of paper.
“May I?” said Albert. Death handed him the paper.
“Some of the sheep,” Albert read aloud.”

Terry Pratchett’s Feet of Clay
Walt Disney Feature Animation and Terry Pratchett
When it comes to books there can be many different types of books. And now and then they get adapted into movies, either live-action or fully animated. Disney is no stranger to this. They have made animated films that are based on stories. A very interesting note of what they were planning to adapt is a story called Mort. Which is part of a series called Discworld. It was said that it was being planned out as a 2D hand-drawn animated film from Disney. And it was supposed to be directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. Who are known for directing The Great Mouse Detective, The Little mermaid, Aladdin, and Princess and the frog. The only reason why this was canceled is because Disney couldnt afford the rights to adapt Mort.
Now we would like to see this movie back into development. We ask that the story of Mort shouldnt be toned down for children, no musical numbers, keep it in its original form of story. And get actual voice actors from the animation industry over bigshot movie stars. Because there isnt enough animated films that have actual voice actors who have been in the animation industry that are familiar with voice acting. Examples being like Rob Paulsen and Tara Strong. We would like to see the 2D hand-drawn animated film of Discworlds mort back in development. Discworld has a lot of fans, and if you pull this off correctly it would make a great-animated film. But if you mess it up, it would be just like the Black cauldron. So, please bring back the development of the hand-drawn animated feature of Discworlds mort. Disney, please work something out with Discworld author Terry Pratchett to make sure that this makes a very good adaptation based on one of his books.

The next one was: I Thought You’d Like It.
Eric was standing on: For the Sake of the Children.
‘Weird, isn’t it?’ he said. ‘Why do it like this?’
‘I think they’re meant to be good intentions,’ said Rincewind. This was a road to Hell, and demons were, after all, traditionalists.”
So much for cynicism.”
