You may find yourself liking Death

An excellent cartoon based upon the novel by Terry Pratchett, creator of the cult Discworld. Discworld is a flat world, carried on the backs of four elephants, standing on the shell of the giant space turtle, Great A'tuin. It is a series of several dozen novels that, in a sarcastic, clever and very humorous way, cover the history of mankind in all its aspects. Each of these novels immediately after the publication reaches the top of best-seller lists. Whoever did not read Discworld novels misses an inexhaustible source of fun and laughter. Some of Pratchett's books are adapted into movies, but one of the main characters, Death, is quite lousy shown in feature films, and much more faithfully in the cartoons. I love all of them, but this one is good enough to start with. I hope it hooks you to read the books.

The animation is poor, but story, jokes, music, and Christopher Lee fully compensate for it.
