For me, Pratchetts greatest gift was how he used the Discworld to examine and satirise the human condition. So many adaptations of his work miss that but this one nailed it. The changing world and those unable to keep up trying to keep their place in a world they no longer understand. Snowgum did a fantastic job. Many thanks for this rendition of one of Pratchetts least known, but most poignant, stories.

When people say that disc world books are comedy fantasy books, it shows that they've only ever read the colour of magic. The disc world books are genera fiction, set in a fantasy world with a comedic tone (as no one in their right mind would describe nightwatch as a comedy), but the one theme which ties all the books (even the colour of magic) is "these changing times", and it's a theme I love so much. The original short story was great, a troll and a barbarian talking about how much things have changed, and lamenting the loss of the old days.Thus film was spot on, and it got me in the emotions. I think Terry would have loved this, and maybe would have asked why he didn't get a casting call to play Cohen :P brilliant work and I'm glad you shared it. :)

It's not surprising that Pratchett wrote the story for a collection in honor of Tolkien. The theme of the Old days long gone and the times changing constantly underlies the work of both authors,

I was fortunate enough to support this project. I've read most of Sir Terry's books, seen many of the made-for-tv adaptations, and seen "Run Rincewind Run" and "Choosing to Die." I'm not a super-fan, but like most anybody who comes across his work, I find him to be the perfect blend of humor, wisdom, and rage. I don't know how they did it, but Snowgum Films somehow drew forth Sir Terry's spirit to create this version of Troll Bridge (I haven't read the original short story). Like the best works of art, the film draws you in with the promise of (another) hilarious and exciting adventure. Before you know it, you are seriously considering the meanings of our very existence, as arbitrated by a troll and barbarian hero. Watch it (over and over), and support this production company. Go. Now. Do it.

I'm halfway through and this is amazing. Put these guys in charge of doing a discworld series. "The Watch" is almost sacrilegious.

This was such a great little film! It surprised me at how good it actually was! The actor did a phenomenal job! Whoever wrote this is a creative genius.. I sincerely enjoyed this very much! (Hope to see more films by this director/ writer)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I read this story years ago in a compendium of fantasy tales. Wonderful to stumble on it. Terry Pratchett lives.

The respect for the world Prachett gave us is amazing. The acting and pacing was superb too. I'm going to echo the sentiment that these people should be given huge bags of treasure and tasked with creating an entire Series.

Just found this, after decades of being a Terry Prachett fan. Amazing! Done with such charm, warmth and truth to Terry's story telling. Love it. So much better than any screen adaption that I've seen previously. Thank you so much. ❤

What Cohen did next lyrics, took me longer than I like to admit to write down from the end credits, but worth it. I'll sing you a song of a hero so bold Exceedingly brave and remarkably old He rode from the bridge through the bleak winter cold Just as the day was a-dawning He wasn't the hero you've come to expect With rippling muscles and glistening pecks But the size of his boosebumps commanded respect And his false teeth should act as a warning His false teeth should act as a warning I'll tell you of Cohen for that was his name A century in the barbarian game He went to fight trolls for fortune and fame Just as the sun was arising His motives for battle were noble and pure He robbed from the rich now to give to the poor Which included himself he was reasonably sure And that wasn't really surprising That wasn't really surprising For barbarians lead an exorbitant life¨ Carousing and quaffing and looking for strife Can empty a coin pouch as quick as a knife And the price as of a loincloth keeps rising With strange extra costs that your old age can bring Lineaments trusses and that sort of thing And fitting your saddle with a hemorrhoid ring To make your ride less agonizing Make your rides less agonizing As Cohen rode on through the arable land A small scrap of paper grasped firm in his hand It listed three targets so he had planned Just as the cock was a-crowing It had already dawned on his valiant steed That Cohen whilst acting with barbaric speed Had forgotten that he didn't know how to read Barbarians don't have the knowing Barbarians don't have the knowing So the horse who is brilliant it just must be said Could not only speak but occasionally read He took those directions rode where they led Down where the river was winding A neat wooden bridge with a booth for control Where a troll with a cap and a badge and a bowl Unwisely asked Cohen to cough up a toll You could actually hear his teeth grinding Actually hear Cohen's teeth grinding It wasn't the cap that drove Cohen berserk Not even the troll's rather feculent smirk But the fluorescent waistcoat the troll wore to work And the "Safety First" badge he was wearing So Cohen went round to the back of the shed And opened the door with the front of his head At which point the troll has quite sensibly fled Leaving his gold coins for sharing Leaving his gold coins for sharing Then Cohen rode on by the swift river's course Astride his heroic and quite handsome horse He meant to get loot using maximum force Just as the noon sun was gleaming He came to a lumber mill shiny and new Where the forest was stumps now and then just a few And a red stripey tent selling spider leg stew You could almost see Cohen's ears steaming Almost see Cohen's ears steaming The troll at the mill would not answer the door He had several guards and had hired many more To Cohen's delight they attacked by the score Just as the door was a-closing For Cohen had heroing down to a T He climbed on the pile of their bodies with glee As the girl from the spider store clung to his knee He stood there barbarically posing Stood there barbarically posing The gold from the lumber mill safe in his grip He spent a few ticks relocating his hip And moaned that his back was now giving him gyp Just as the mill it was burning His ague and tinnitus started to buzz His lumbago had always disturbed him because He still had no clue what that actually was And his chilblains had started returning His chilblains had started returning The third troll a merchant who they weren't aware Was a combat accountant gave Cohen a scare By showing our hero his folio of shares And all his commodities falling But Cohen too stupid to grasp the essentials Gathered himself and with daring potential Kicked the troll squarely in his differentials For a merchant that's truly appalling For a merchant that's truly appalling Cohen rode onwards his bags full of gold Remarkably brave and exceedingly old He'd had quite enough of the bleak winter cold And bits of himself that kept freezing So when the horse said he thought that we Should head for the coast and the warmth and the sea Cohen just this time was forced to agree That horse was really amazing That horse was really amazing I've sung now of Cohen the greatest by far So hark to my story wherever you are I learnt the whole thing from a horse in a bar Although he sang it quite badly It turns out the horse was a folk singer too He wrote the whole ballad and swears that it's true So now I am here and I've sung it to you And now you can all applaud madly Now you can all applaud madly

I watched this at Worldcon a couple of years ago, and loved it. I've been telling everyone I know about it ever since. It's so great to see it online and to be able to share the video. Thank you so much! I only wish I'd known about the crowdfunder before the film was finished: I would definitely have chipped in. Probably the best "fan film" ever made. I certainly haven't seen any others this good.

It was a sad day when Sir Terry passed.

The one singing at the end is, of course, Cohen’s horse.

Look at the credits: Horse - Glenn Van Oosterom "The What Cohen Did Next Song" Written and *Performed* by Martin Pearson

Nary an American voice or BBC bastardisation, just presented as envisaged. Terry Pratchet is finally resting in peace. Masterpiece!

I don't think the voice is what makes a good Discworld. Pratchett wanted his works to be enjoyed by all regardless of how they saw the characters. The short works because it feels *so much* like Discworld, with the writing, pacing, and the lacing of deeper themes through the satire. Accents or no.

I can see taking pride in one’s nation and taking pride in the “works” from said nation. I don’t know Terry Pratchet, but this is good. I can enjoy a story that does not come from my country, and understand the pride that the author’s countrymen have in the story.

This is easily the best live action adaptation of the Discworld I've ever seen! Props to everyone involved! The song at the end was absolutely brilliant too 😆

RIP Terry. Thanks for the laughs.

I absolutely "loved" this movie...I think the world needs a full "Cohen the Barbarian movie...

This is my first introduction to Pratchette. I just wanted to express how thoroughly I enjoyed this short. As a horse person as well the good handling of the horses is appreciated( and I loved the bitless bridle and caught the change to snaffle scenes, what kind of bitless is that? I want one, love it!). Anyway I will be looking for more on Pratchette, thanks for making and sharing. I loved the whole portrayal and story. ❤️👍

There's a reason his books are so loved by so many readers. There's not many video adaptions, but if you're an avid reader, the books are absolutely worth reading.

I'll admit it, I thought you'd never manage to finish this project. Yet, you did. And it is flawless.

Thank you for this. I'm busy (most probably) dying, and it did me some real good to watch this. I do wish I could have given the time Ive got left to Terry, too bad it doesn't work that way. It's funny because earlier today I had a good long chat with Death, I think the nurses knew he was there, since one jumped in her crocs when his sword fell over. I'd asked him to stand it up in the corner after he'd waved it a little wildly when I said Puppies were more adorable than Kittens. He was mollified when I went on to say that cats were better company than dogs, mind you. it worries me you know, why did he brig the sword, when I shouldn't think I even rated the scythe....

I remember reading about this project when I was a teenager on an internet forum about PTerry that no longer exists. Thank you for putting it here and speaking his name when he is no longer with us. I'm sure he would appreciate it!

LOL I think I started on this project as teenager :) my consolation prize was that Terry did see the film at various stages, some of which embarrassing in hindsight, but he always wanted to see more. That kept us going so much. And even though we lost the race, he saw a fairly final cut and liked it. That nod alone was worth it all.

"Best days work he ever did" Love that quote..

This. Exactly this needs to be done to adapt Pratchett! Thank you for creating a tribute that is worthy of one of the greatest minds of all time.

I sincerely hope that you've got intentions of making more of these films. This is absolutely as close as one can get to being perfect, and seeing Terry's world so beautifully put to life has me in tears.

There is no words to describe how good this film. This is so much better than many or most of the featured who are in it for the money and for the love for something. Amazing thank you

I’m so happy I got to support this a little on Kickstarter. This is epic.

This made me forget "The Watch" for a brief, but wonderful moment...

"There's more Trolls in the cities now"...never a truer word spoken! :) x

I love this film. Hits all too close to home for this aging young adventurer.....

Quite easily the best adaptation of any of Terry Pratchett's work. Thank you.

This is beautiful to watch and exactly what a Terry Pratchett adaptation should be, Funny, thoughtful and beautiful.

I adored every single second of this. What a beautiful short story and a nod to the great man himself. Thanks for creating this.

The end song was outstanding, as was the entire production.

My Grandma was a huge Terry Pratchett fan. She would have loved this.

Terry had a unique mind, its a cruel world. Terry you made it better. RIP

Thank you so so much you beautiful people. So sad Terry didn't live to see it, it is perfect and 100% authentic Pratchett ✨🖤

You guys managed to capture Pratchet's writing spirit intoa movie. Great job on the story, VFX and make up. Cohen looks great :D

A love letter to Terry. Beautiful and contemplative, reminisces wonderfully portrayed, happily and sadly so After such a long journey to complete it, awesome! More please.... just for Daniel’s sake not another 15 years. Congratulations all

Absolutely perfect. I don't think this could have been better, to me at least. Thank you so much for every second of this. Also, the What Cohen Did Next Song was too good.

Special thanks from Russian Terry Pratchett fan to the creators of this marvellous work! I adored books of this fantastic author since my early childhood and this short for me is like a ray of light in the dark dungeon after witnessing trailer for the BBS America "Night Watch"!

This is one of the very best adaptations of Pratchett I've seen so far

This was perfect, and that "For Terry Pratchett"got me a little choked up. If I'd have known about this when you were taking pledges I would have donated. but you did a wonderful job

Absolute epicness. This is how you do Pratchett, BBC!

I've been meaning to watch this for ages, it was wonderful. Truly in keeping with the spirit of Pterry's humour and his ability to be a fantastic observer of human nature; and the ballad at the end was perfectly done. I did get a bit teary at the end, this was made by real fans. We need more of this, do the Witches next, I really want to see what you make of the Hedgehog Song. GNU Terry Pratchett.

Thank you. How absolutely wonderful!

And the writers have left us all wiping our eyes, And wandering Rimwards what mysteries doth lie; To Cohen, his horse, and the passing of time, We all lift a mug of fine Agatean wine We all lift a mug of fine Agatean wine

Sir Terry would be proud!

Lol "Guess who was bidding against ya" classic can't get enough soooo wish there was more.
