* In ''Discworld/MovingPictures'', an entire subplot develops around the talking animals that have been granted the power of speech by movie magic.

Added DiffLines:
By the numbers, the majority of characters will not have a name within the work, because they lack NominalImportance. One way to play with audience expectations, however, is to present characters and instead of addressing them by their personal name, they're called by their [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep title]], [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nickname]], or in [[YouKnowTheOne vague terms]]. The more important this character is to the plot, the more unusual it is to lack a name. The BitCharacter and SpearCarrier may not have their names mentioned, but they are straight examples of NominalImportance.
