The only things missing from the movie are the Librarian and the beggars. Personally, I would have liked to see the Duck Man and how they would get the duck to stay on his head.

Mister Teh-ah-tim-eh was creepier than I'd imagined him to be.

Oh, it was missing more than that. Albert, that delightfully cynical and jaundiced observer of human nature, was reduced to a mere comic-relief sidekick; I mean, where were the snowballs and the scene with the king and the peasant? There was no little girl asking, "A big swored?" The gang of criminals missed out on the introduction scene, let alone the presence of Peachy, and Teatime was actually less creepy that I'd envisioned.

But all of these are minor nit-picks for a movie, and I suppose they did the best they could with it. And the voice of Death was spot-on.

Yeah, i thought that there was someone missing from the thieves. And I have to agree with you on the voice of Death.

And the whole Librarian/Pipe Organ/B.S. Johnson bathroom scene. XD

It was rather low-budget so I expect they couldn't get an orangutan. Either that or they didn't want to CGI him. Pity, really.
