Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of Moving Pictures is narrated by Jason Isaacs, best known for playing Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, and for his starring roles in The Death of Stalin and Case Histories. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
'HOLY WOOD IS A DIFFERENT SORT OF PLACE... HERE, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO BE IMPORTANT.'
A new phenomenon is taking over the Discworld: moving pictures. Created by the alchemists of Ankh-Morpork, the growing 'clicks' industry moves to the sandy land of Holy Wood, attracted by the light of the sun and some strange calling no one can quite put their finger on...
Also drawn to Holy Wood are aspiring young stars Victor Tugelbend, a wizarding student dropout, and Theda 'Ginger' Withel, a small-town girl with big dreams.
But behind the glitz and glamour of the clicks, a sinister presence lurks. Because belief is powerful in the Discworld, and sometimes downright dangerous...
The magic of movies might just unravel reality itself.
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Moving Pictures is a standalone.
The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Perfect
I love Discworld.
But this audio book brought the story & story to life even more than the book, Excellent voices by Jason Isaacs, who somehow managed to create identifiable & perfect voices for each character. Even the trolls. I enjoyed listening so much I had to slow down as I didn’t want it to finish.
Jason Isaacs is an ideal story teller for Discworld. Can you ask him to do another please? And more Gaspode !

Good story, great narrator.
Jason Isaacs was an inspired choice for narrator. more from him, please.
The story is fun, funny, and a great example of Discworld at its best.

Excellent Book, Excellent Reading
Jason Isaacs has outdone himself with this one, distinct accents that fit the characters perfectly, all read with perfect timing. Just a shame he didn't do more, I wish they'd got him to do the city watch series instead of Culshaw.

Brilliant! Dreams DO come true! Sometimes 😏

Click!
You truly on an adventure with the characters in this story. I’ve actually listened actively several times now. A clever look at the history of Holyrood(?😳) and the start of making movies for the cinematic screen.

BURSAAAAAAAR!!!
The whole thing was brilliant and Isaac's voices were all perfect. But... His Ridcully is actual genius. The first time he yelled for the Bursar I laughed so much I needed my inhaler. Exquisite.

Outstanding Narration
If you love Terry Pratchett stories, then you know what you're getting here (and there is no point in preaching to the choir).
However Jason Isaacs vocal performance is fantastic, and in my opinion, one of the best narrators across Audible. So definitely worth a review.

Superb
Jason Isaacs is already working with an amazing book but his vocal talent is next level. Dibbler was a masterpiece and Ruby’s cabaret performance with Bill Nighy’s translation made me laugh out loud. Please do more audiobooks Jason Isaacs.

One to play again Sam
One of the joys of a quality audiobook is hearing things you missed on first reading. In this case all kinds of detailed film scene references. Jason Isaacs brings another STP masterpiece superbly to the ear. One to play again Sam. (Michael).
