Soul Music is a seven-part animated television adaptation of the 1994 book of the same name by Terry Pratchett, produced by Channel 4 Television Corporation, Cosgrove Hall Films, ITEL, and Ventureworld Films.[1] It was first broadcast from June 6 to July 18, 1997 and released on DVD in 2001, alongside Wyrd Sisters in a box set entitled "Soul Music", by Vision Video.[2] The feature-length miniseries was developed by Acorn Media,[3] and directed by Jean Flynn.[4] It was the first film adaptation of an entire Discworld novel (following the Welcome to the Discworld short, which was based on a fragment of the novel Reaper Man). The series soundtrack was also released on CD, but the disc is now out of production. The soundtrack is, however, now available through iTunes.[5] Editz did the title sequences, Flix Facilities did the digital picture editing, and Hullabaloo Studios did the audio post-production.[1]
