We prove that the van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov discontinuity arising in the
massless limit of massive gravity theories is peculiar to Minkowski space and
it is not present in Anti De Sitter space, where the massless limit is smooth.
More generally, the massless limit is smooth whenever the square of the
graviton mass vanishes faster than the cosmological constant.
