I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The children are badly animated blue-eyed zombies, Aslan has all the fierce majesty of a Hanna-Barbera animal-clown, and Narnia is a sloppily drawn, garish seventies water-color mess. This awkward attempt to create an animated version of Lewis's classic illustrates why the author was so reluctant to have his many-layered "children's" books given the film treatment. He believed no film maker could adequately portray the rich world of Narnia or particularly the awe-inspiring nature of Aslan. Melendez,of Charlie Brown fame,attempted to oversee the work of international contributors to this crude Saturday morning cartoon version of a great book and the result is flat and an aesthetic disaster. Of course, in fairness it should not be compared to the later, more successful advanced technique Disney version, which might have pleased Lewis, but even comparison to earlier animated versions of classic tales, makes it clear Melendez and crew didn't have a clue as to the real power of the story or try create a moving or even slightly eye-pleasing film. Perhaps they excused their carelessness by considering it just a kid's story. They certainly show little respect for children or C.S. Lewis's fine work that has enchanted children and fascinated adults for generations. That Melendez and his crew did not understand the story or their responsibility to children is obvious in the self-congratulatory voice-over comments offered on the DVD.

In the 1979 rendition of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," details normally overlooked by today's movie makers are masterfully transfered to film. C. S. Lewis's intricate dialog is flawlessly adapted with wonderful voice actors and added to greatly by Michael J. Lewis's gorgeous score. At a time before computer effects, The music played a key role in making the story come to life. Unfortunately, the new live action version greatly suffered an unmemorable score. Another advantage of the 1979 is that it, unlike the Disney version isn't another horrible attempt to copy Peter Jackson's rendition of "The Lord of the Rings." This one follows the book, doesn't concede to today's tasteless standards, and has perfectly appropriate music.

While certainly the animation is a little dated, this is a wonderful version of the C.S. Lewis classic. My sister and I watched this over and over as kids on our Betamax, and I recently purchased it on DVD and watched it again with my four-year old. She was mesmerized by the trip to Narnia through the wardrobe and all of the adventures with "dear Mr. Tumnus", the White Witch and Aslan. And I must say that I, too, loved seeing it again for the first time in probably 20 years. The actress and actor who lent their voices to the White Witch and Aslan did a phenomenal job. And the action/battle scenes are intense enough to keep even the most squirmy child (or adult) on the edge of their seat but not so scary as to be unsuitable for young children. This movie has been playing almost non-stop in my house since Christmas Day, and I must say that I have enjoyed every showing. An absolute treasure.

From the director of the Charlie Brown and Peanuts movies, comes this funny, delightful little cartoon adaptation of the classic C.S. Lewis novel. Although made for television, it still holds a bright candle to the book itself. With such clever narration by the lead voices, and the expressions given to the characters, this one delivers a gold trophy. Every line, and action is directly from the book, and portrayed well. Beth Porter certainly supplies the most fun as the voice of the desperate white witch. All other character voices are pleasant and appropriate. The running time is not three hours, so they managed to fit an entire story into the cartoon. You are actually watching the novel, and all things that C.S. Lewis may have written in the novel, that cannot be stated by the characters, is well implied. This TV special is probably the only version that could possibly work as well as it did. The voices fit the actions as dead on as perfection, and the dark moments are not taken too seriously. This make for a good animated adaptation!
