What happens

Soul Music is a seven-part animated television adaptation of the 1994 book by Terry Pratchett, produced by Channel 4 Television Corporation, Cosgrove Hall Films, ITEL, and Ventureworld Films. It was first broadcast from June 6 to July 18, 1997 and released on DVD in 2001, alongside Wyrd Sisters in a box set entitled "Soul Music", by Vision Video. The feature-length miniseries was developed by Acorn Media, and directed by Jean Flynn. It was the first film adaptation of an entire Discworld novel (following the Welcome to the Discworld short, which was based on a fragment of the novel Reaper Man). The series soundtrack was also released on CD, but the disc is now out of production. The soundtrack is, however, now available through iTunes. Editz did the title sequences, Flix Facilities did the digital picture editing, and Hullabaloo Studios did the audio post-production. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
