[[Discworld_calendar|Century]] of the Fruitbat was one of [[Holy Wood]]'s moving picture companies in the [[Book:Moving Pictures|''Moving Pictures'']] boom following their invention by some [[Alchemists' Guild|Alchemists]]. [[Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler]] conned his way into the business and watched it collapse like all his projects.

The name is a two-pronged play on {{wp|Twentieth_Century_Fox|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 [[Book:Moving Pictures|''Moving Pictures'']], and the Fruitbat is also known as a Flying Fox.

In later books, the phrase refers to the current period of time, usually with the suggestion that a particular person should "enter" it or, more often, a promise from one of the various rulers of the Disc to 'drag [insert country/state here] kicking and screaming into the Century of the Fruitbat'. By the time of [[Book:The Truth|''The Truth'']], however, Discworld had come into the Century of the Anchovy, which seemed equally happy to have people and places dragged kicking and screaming into it.
