The plot of the adaptation largely follows the plot of the first two Discworld novels, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. Further adaptations by The Mob are planned, starting with Going Postal for release in 2009. The production is the second adaptation of Pratchett's novels as a live-action film, following the successful release of Hogfather on Sky One over Christmas 2006. The film was well received by fans, but drew mixed reviews from critics, who generally praised the acting talent of the all-star cast, but criticised the film's script and direction. The first part drew audiences of 1.5 million, with the second part attracting up to 1.1 million viewers. The Colour of Magic was broadcast on Sky One, and in High Definition on Sky One HD, on Easter Sunday (March 23) and March 24 2008. Vadim Jean both adapted the screenplay from Pratchett's original novels, and served as director.

The fantasy film was produced for Sky One by The Mob, a small British studio, starring David Jason, Sean Astin, Tim Curry and Christopher Lee as the voice of Death.

The Colour of Magic is a two-part television adaptation of the bestselling novels The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett.
