Advantages: Brilliant storytelling, amazing entertainment Disadvantages: The special effects
I loved both the Narnia books and the BBC adaptation when I was little, so when I saw these DVD's on sale, I couldn't resist. They serve both as a nostalgic trip down memory lane and as some wonderful entertainment. With the new film, I suppose it was inevitable that someone would try to make some more money out of the earlier series, but it's still good fun. This series was an adaptation of some of the books in CS Lewis's Chronicle's of Narnia. ... ...the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Last Battle. The BBC only adapted four of these, The Lion etc., Prince Caspian, Voyage of etc, and The Silver Chair. They were made as three, six-episode series, with Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader run together as one series. ~~~ The Stories ~~~

Advantages: Family Fun Disadvantages: Can make you too cheery
...as a christmas present and the novalty value of remembering my childhood was wonderful...but watching it was even better.
As it is a series rather then a film it fully tells the story and is more faithful to the books.
Even though it was filmed before special effects I do not think this really impacts on the quality - as it is set in war tme the age of this series adds a certain charm to it.
Not only have I enjoyed re-watching this but my my nephews ... ...real christmasy feel about it and really puts you in the festive mood.
Please remember this box set includes The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair. Which means four times the fun.
Enjoy, family fun garenteed. ...
