Wiki.

Welcome to the Discworld is a short (8-minute) animated television adaptation of a fragment of the novel, Reaper Man, by Terry Pratchett, produced by Cosgrove Hall in 1996. It is the first film adaptation of a Discworld novel and is followed by the TV series Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters. The rest of Reaper Man is not filmed.
