I'm a massive Terry Pratchett fan, and adaptations of his work have been pretty hit or miss. Given that this was crowd-funded 'fanart' I expected some corners to be cut for expense and expediency.
Not So.
This is a labor of love, and the love shines out of every scene.
Cohen leaps off the page into the gorgeous scenery and cinematography. His horse, as in the short-story, is the perfect companion the the ancient barbarian/hero.
Now, the Trolls, who live under the titular bridge. The voices and acting are enchanting. The looks, while not what I picture while reading the trolls of Discworld, are reminiscent of the 1986 David Bowie film 'Labyrinth' creatures. Others have said they're reminded of video game characters or cartoons. I say, Yes? So? It all works! I especially liked the changing eyes. Watch for them.
I will watch this many times!
Pratchett's humor and humanity are showcased beautifully here. Job well done!
