Any bets on which book they're picking? I know the Hogfather's already had a live action version done.
EDIT: TvTropes gives me this list of video adaptations. Terry Pratchetts Hogfather Made For TV Movie (2006), an adaptation of Hogfather. The Colour Of Magic Made For TV Movie (2008), an adaptation of The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic Going Postal, Made For TV Movie (2010), an adaptation of Going Postal Unseen Academicals Made For TV Movie, scheduled for 2012.

Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters have animated films already. Not sure if any others do.

Guards, Guards seems pretty likely. Mort as an outside shot.
EDIT: I'm fairly torn in that it could be cool OR Disney could just go down the list of terrible cliches that Pratchett assiduously strips out of / subverts in his work and then hamfistedly jam them all back in. Cause, y'know. Disney. EDIT: OH hey Wee Free Men also pretty likely; certainly the most Disney-esque Pratchett story I can think of offhand. Plus if it's a hit you've got that audience on the hook for three sequels. EDIT: Plus MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERCH, soooooooo much fucking merch Plush Pictsies, action-figure pictsies, cheap shitty pictsie toys in every McDonalds Happy Meal. EDIT: Goddamn if Disney isn't adapting Wee Free Men they're out of their fucking minds, just look at all the money sitting on this table.

Wee Free Men also has the advantage of being part of its own standalone series, so it's a little easier to do a movie of it. A lot of the other Discworld novels swap characters and continuity around like horny teenagers swap fluids.

tiny and blue is about where the smurfness stops, really
Smurfs weren't also drunk cow thieves with super strength and speed and a bad attitude and based off Scotts (that might have been redundant)
