There is only one important female character and she is largely responsible for saving the day. Most of the characters are male however, and the other women consist of a foolish tooth fairy, a young girl, an old woman, and a smattering of children and adults who may not speak more than one or two lines, if any. Men are talked of regularly when conversations between the women do happen simply because all the bad guys/monsters are, well, guys, and so is the eponymous Hogfather who is in need of rescuing. I believe that "Hogfather" passes the Bechdel test, but not with flying colors.
