The 10th Discworld novel and one that changed the nature of the series in many ways: An end to the practice of Klingon Promotion by the wizards of Unseen University due to the unkillable Mustrum Ridcully taking over as Archchancellor, and therefore a single recurring faculty cast appearing in later books. The last book to use the idea of the Things from the Dungeon Dimensions invading as a generalized threat — later books would shift the idea of extradimensional threats to the elves and others, while the former are simply used as reasons why Wizards are careful about using magic. The start of a theme that would run until The Truth of ideas or inventions from our modern world (or magical analogues) threatening to break the Discworld's Medieval Stasis, but this usually being subject to the Reset Button at the end. Other books to use this include Men at Arms and Soul Music. Though introduced in Guards! Guards!, the characters of Detritus and CMOT Dibbler were made the three-dimensional fan favourites they would become. The book also introduces Gaspode the Wonder Dog, a later recurring character.The plot is set in motion when the alchemists of Ankh-Morpork discover a way to capture moving images and project them onto a screen. It doesn't take long before the moving pictures become an entertainment sensation, and our protagonists, two aspiring actors named Victor and Ginger, quickly rise to stardom. But all is not well in Holy Wood—something dark is lurking behind the silver screen...Not to be confused with the Rush album of the same name. Or with, y'know, moving pictures. The Adventure Game Discworld 2 takes some elements from the plot, meshing it liberally with Reaper Man and Lords and Ladies.Preceded by Eric, followed by Reaper Man. | |

Timmy in a Well: Parodied with Laddie and Gaspode. When Victor and Ginger are trapped in a cave, they go to a troll pub to get help. Gaspode, who can speak, tries to tell the trolls about the problem, but they don't listen. Laddie only barks, but the trolls recognize the trope from the movies he starred in, and follow him. | |

On One Condition | |
| Moving Pictures (Discworld) / int_182f59f9 | comment |
On One Condition: The reason Victor's still a student. The condition is that he must get above a certain mark on every test to keep getting his inheritance - so Victor carefully answers just enough questions correctly that he gains his inheritance but never actually passes to become a full-fledged wizard. The Bursar, having noticed the trend and furious with this, comes up with a test that would have beaten Victor one way or the other: "Question 1) What is your name?" And that is the test. He doesn't show up to take it, on the other hand Ponder Stibbons does... | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| Moving Pictures (Discworld) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Ginger is not possessed by the Things: she is actually instrumental in defending the world against them. But Victor assumes he is the hero, and she is just the Distressed Damsel, thus preventing her from doing what must be done, even though there were hints that what is possessing her is not evil. Also, whenever someone quotes a line from a well-known Roundworld film that just doesn't work on Discworld without quite knowing why. Presumably ideas are leaking through universes, which is what happens to Hwel in Wyrd Sisters. For example: "It's fifteen hundred miles to Ankh-Morpork, we've got three hundred and sixty-three elephants, fifty carts of forage, the monsoon's about to break and we're wearing... we're wearing... sort of things, like glass, only dark... dark glass things on our eyes..." | |

Only Sane Man | |
| Moving Pictures (Discworld) / int_24321e44 | comment |
The Bursar is also, strangely enough, the Only Sane Man in the University, a role that's later taken by Ponder Stibbons (who also appears in this book as a very minor character lacking in the traits he gets in the later books); Bursar's not the insane Cloud Cuckoolander we see in later books, but it's implied that Ridcully is slowly driving him to madness, so it might be justified. The Bursar is also mostly sane at the beginning of the next book, Reaper Man, but is slowly driven around the bend by the events of that book (in addition to Ridcully's influence). | |

Drowning Unwanted Pets: Gaspode the Wonder Dog says his first memory is of being tied in a sack with a brick and thrown into the river Ankh.

He recalls he thought the brick was his mother. | |

Forgotten Trope: Pratchett uses catchphrases and running gags from the 19th century to demonstrate how out-of-touch the ancient wizard Windle Poons is, such as "Tuppence more and up goes the donkey!" and "How's your granny off for soap?" Since nobody but him knows what the jokes are even about, they all count as a Orphaned Punch Line. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Gods on Discworld exist and have their power because of millions of people have vague, faraway faith in them. Here a comparable reality-altering force can be produced by just a few hundred people believing what they see with their own eyes in a clickie. | |

Wham Line: When the Bursar has found "Numbers" Riktor's documents about the resograph (which keeps firing pellets with a 'plib!' in the background) and is reading them aloud: As for the force, the resograph is shooting out pellets hard enough that they can chip away pieces from a stone wall. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Moving Pictures (Discworld) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: This is the first appearance of the UU wizards who would later be a recurring cast of comic characters. Although they are already quite well-formed here, there's one inconsistency where the Chair of Indefinite Studies is described as the enormously fat one (hence, the "Two Chairs" nickname) instead of the Dean. The Dean is also shown as the most conservative and rules-following member of the Faculty, reluctant to go out and see the Clicks until the other members push him into it; in his future appearances, he is usually the most eager to get involved in whatever weirdness is going on. Justified in later books by the Dean, having missed out on so much potential excitement in his youth, making up for lost time. The Bursar is also, strangely enough, the Only Sane Man in the University, a role that's later taken by Ponder Stibbons (who also appears in this book as a very minor character lacking in the traits he gets in the later books); Bursar's not the insane Cloud Cuckoolander we see in later books, but it's implied that Ridcully is slowly driving him to madness, so it might be justified. The Bursar is also mostly sane at the beginning of the next book, Reaper Man, but is slowly driven around the bend by the events of that book (in addition to Ridcully's influence). A minor case, but in this book, Gaspode's ability to cogitate and talk is attributed to the magic of Holy Wood, and he's implied to lose those abilities at the end with the other animals. In later books, he's still intelligent and talking, a reversion attributed to Unseen University's magic-saturated rubbish a la The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. This is the earliest throwaway mention of elves in the canon, where they're affected just like any other creature by Holy Wood magic instead of their future, magic-proof malicious selves. (Handwaved in Lords and Ladies where Granny Weathermax dismisses them as strange if harmless people who simply have elvish *ancestry*, not the full-blooded kind.) Trolls in Ankh-Morpork are half way between their depictions in the early books as monsters (or at least monstrous looking beings) encountered far away from civilisation or, at best, hired muscle in Ankh-Morpork and their depiction in later books as essentially normal citizens (albeit still facing occasional specism). Victor is startled by simply meeting Rock and Detritus is still a humble bruiser but at the same time we see trolls start to get normal jobs and integrate more with normal life. | |

Not What It Looks Like: Inverted. Victor is reluctant to spend the night watching over Ginger, lest it affect her reputation. Ginger dismisses his fears, as she doubts her landlady will guess that he's guarding against her possible possession by supernatural forces: "She'll just think we're having sex." Indeed, she does think just that, and heartily approves. | |

Theory of Narrative Causality: This always exists on Discworld to some extent, but this book incorporates movie and movie tropes into a universe where previously only oral and written stories existed. As the climax is about a Genre Savvy dashing movie star and his love interest saving the world from a giant inter-dimensional monster attacking the city while the town people watch, this trope gets turned up to eleven. | |

Deliberate Under-Performance: Victor Tugelbend aims to fail his Final Exams every year - but only just. His aim is to fail by the slightest and most narrow of margins - so that he gets to remain a student in perpetuity. But he can't fail so completely that his uncle's bequest is voided. His reason is that he has a trust fund allowing him to live in some comfort - provided he remains a student. The moment he graduates, the money goes. The moment he can't maintain the minimum grade stipulated in his uncle's will, the money goes. Therefore he has to avoid getting a pass mark of 88% but not to let his mark drop below the threshold of 80% that voids his stipend. It's a fine line. | |

Reality Is Unrealistic: The fake Ankh-Morpork built for Blown Away manages to look more like Ankh-Morpork than the real thing. | |

Abstract Scale: The wizard "Numbers" Riktor got his nickname from his insistence that anything can be measured and quantified, including abstract qualities like beauty and reality. And swamp-ness. He had some success in attempting that, if the resograph is any indication. | |

Foreshadowing: Gaspode thought Death came as a member of each species he took away (a giant black dog for canines), which happens in Reaper Man. Victor gets Gaspode to run away from danger by throwing a stick, which even a talking dog who fully realizes the consequences can't resist trying to catch. That same irresistible canine urge to chase flung sticks will lead to Wolfgang's death in The Fifth Elephant. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Moving Pictures (Discworld) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The ancient wizard Windle Poons mentions having had student japes with "Numbers" Riktor (the inventor of the resograph seen in this book) and "Tudgy" Spold (Greyhald Spold, another ancient wizard who died as part of the events of The Light Fantastic). Victor's rather uncommon surname (Tugelbend) is shared with one of the senior wizards who were Taken for Granite in The Light Fantastic. Though not stated explicitly, it's at least implied that this is the deceased uncle whose bequest allows Victor to live comfortably as an eternal student. "Ankh-Morpork had been burned down many times in its long history—out of revenge, or carelessness, or spite, or even just for the insurance." The last one happened in The Colour of Magic. As in Pyramids the one camel in Holy Wood is far more intelligent than anyone realizes, intelligent enough to not let anyone know how intelligent it is, and has an insult for a name. Evil-Minded Son of a Bitch, in this case. | |

Laborious Laziness: Victor is one of the masters of this trope. He's in exceptional physical shape — and the only one to use UU's gym besides the Librarian — because he reasons it's easier to get around when you've got a lot of muscle and no fat to carry around. | |

Unexpected Successor | |

Unexpected Successor: Mustrum Ridcully was elected as Archchancellor of the Unseen University even though he was long retired from wizardry and had moved 500 miles away from the University. In fact, that's why he was elected: since he'd spent the events of Sourcery five hundred miles away minding his own business, he was unconnected with the resultant scandals and thus would be a good placeholder until the incident faded from recent memory. Unfortunately, he had no interest in just being a placeholder, and proved too indestructible to remove via the Dead Man's Pointy Shoes rule. | |

| Moving Pictures (Discworld) / int_de0406f6 | comment |
Soup of Poverty: Holy Wood is a Boom Town; there aren't enough jobs to go around, so most people have only pennies to spend on food. One entrepreneur opens up an eatery that sells disgusting stew at thirty pence a bowl. If you have to ask what kind of stew, you aren't hungry enough. They eventually settle on calling it fish stew, "on the principle that if you find it in water, it's a fish." | |

For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself | |
| Moving Pictures (Discworld) / int_df33a778 | comment |
For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: The wizards disguise themselves with "False False Beards", by twisting loops of wire through their real wizardly beards until they look like they're wearing very badly-made false beards. This works well enough that, when they try to invoke their wizardly prerogatives to skip the ticket queue or get into the theater without paying, they are soundly rebuffed. | |

Poverty Food | |
| Moving Pictures (Discworld) / int_e34fc3c2 | comment |
Poverty Food: The stew served at Borgle's commissary costs only 30p a bowl, but is so gross (and the "fish" in it so loosely-defined as such) that you have to be desperate to eat it. Luckily for Borgle, Holy Wood's economic nature means that there are plenty of very poor customers. | |

Famous for Being Famous: By Discworld standards (or at least those of the Patrician) this applies to the movie actors. Their fame, instead of being for real-life great deeds (or even their talent, which they haven't actually got much of), is mostly a function of the Holy Wood magic, and deemed as "dangerous." | |

Abominable Auditorium: In the caverns under Holy Wood Hill, the protagonists discover the remains of an ancient moving-picture pit — which the narration dubs "the Cthinema" — from the first Holy Wood civilisation, which was destroyed when the Things from the Dungeon Dimensions used it to break through onto the Discworld. Unseen creatures scuttle over the rotten remnants of ancient carpets and curtains, and an audience of skeletons, who apparently died watching the last showing, stare at a strange, rippling screen that hangs in the air, apparently attached to nothing. When they return later, knowing the Things are trying to emerge once again and can only be stopped there, they find the entire population of Holy Wood sitting in the audience, transfixed by the screen... | |
