This novel has also been translated into an
animated mini-series available through
Acorn Media. While the quality of the animation is acceptable it is not the greatest out there.
The story bears a very strong resemblance to a certain
Shakespeare play involving a
king, his ambitious brother and the brothers very demanding wife. After the king dies of
natural causes, since a dagger in the back is natural causes for a king, the brother takes the throne and the prince is smuggled out of
Lancre by our favorite witches.
The mini series stays very close to the novel, plot wise, and the voicing is good though the it can get sort of muddled and garbled in sections.
