Video: Troll Bridge

Troll Bridge is a fan made film of short story by Sir Terry Pratchett of the same name. The special effects are surprisingly good and it's clear that everyone involved cared deeply about the Discworld and wanted things to look just right. Pay close attention to the end credit ballad, which continues the story.

Cohen the Barbarian was angry. Angry that he never died in battle, angry that the world had forgotten him, and angry that his knees were starting to play up in the cold.
He was also angry that his faithful mount had been gifted the ability of magical speech. The horse was insisting that they had made a wrong turn back at Slice.
He was also angry that the horse was probably right. This was not how it was supposed to end for the barbarian. This was not how the Discworld’s greatest hero imagined it at all.
