It's the night before Hogswatch, usually a time of joy on Discworld, but there are suspicious going-on and the criminal underworld is abuzz. The beloved Hogfather - the jolly bearer of glee and pork-related gifts for children everywhere - has vanished. Suddenly, Discworld's entire mythical system is under threat. The fate of this magical time rests in the hands of a very motley group: A band of wizards headed up by a mystical university president named Mustrum Ridcully (Joss Ackland), a loyal manservant called Albert (David Jason), a level-headed governess called Susan Sto Heilt (Michelle Dockery), and her grandfather, who happens to be - Death (Marnix van den Broeke).
This movie contains 10 potentially triggering events.
A mouse dies and is collected by Death of Rats. The Auditors are in the form of dogs when they fall off a cliff. It is mentioned that Teatime previously killed a dog.
No children are abused onscreen," but just enough information is given about the childhoods of the criminals in Teatime's gang to know that some of those childhoods were really, REALLY bad.
We see ghosts of people who die when Death comes to collect them. The ghosts are just like the people but see through. The auditors are spectral figures that look a bit ghost-like, and Death is not a ghost but is a skeleton.
There's a running subplot about the Archchancellor of Unseen University discovering and attempting to use a fancy shower designed by infamous inventor Bloody Stupid Johnson.
There are no scenes where someone tells someone who believes in the Hogfather that he does not exist, but the concept of Santa spoilers factors heavily into the plot. Many children throughout the book talk about how everyone knows it's your father, really." When Susan is directly asked by a child, she gives a parody of the famous "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" monologue where she essentially says the Hogfather exists wherever people are idiots, but she says it in the right tone of voice so the kid doesn't really register what she actually said and goes to bed satisfied.
Mr. Teatime is mentioned in his introduction to have nailed a guard dog to the ceiling during his last job.
