Century of the Fruitbat
From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki
Century of the Fruitbat was one of Holy Wood's moving picture companies in the Moving Pictures boom following their invention by some Alchemists. Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler conned his way into the business and watched it collapse like all his projects.
Annotation
The name is a two-pronged play on Twentieth Century Fox, originally Twentieth Century Fox and one of the earliest Hollywood studios. The Century of the Fruitbat was the current century in the University calendar at the time of Moving Pictures, and the Fruitbat is also known as a Flying Fox.
