Editorial Reviews

C.S. Lewis's beloved children's fantasy is as delicate as a Fabergé egg, and bringing it to film has tons of inherent risks. Faithfulness is not the problem in this live-action version from WonderWorks, but pacing most certainly is. This realization is poky at times when it should be absolutely riveting, and yet it manages to be diverting during sequences that are primarily set-up or exposition. Four young children travel through an attic wardrobe to the magical land of Narnia. There, the White Witch keeps it "always winter and never Christmas," but her rule is in jeopardy as the fabled lord of the land, a huge lion named Aslan, is rumored to have returned. Sadly, near the end of the film, it's almost possible to hear the production team debating just where to spend its cash. They gave it their all to create the lion Aslan but had to settle for rudimentary animation for many of the truly magical creatures of Narnia. Suffice it to say, it's a nice try. --Keith Simanton

Customer Reviews

I was so pleased to find it finally available on DVD.
Mike Dwyer
Made before movie making was perfected, its animation isnt the best, but the story is still the old familiar favorite.
M. Bickford
My children loved it and watched it over and over and now my grandchild is doing the same.

If you're in your thirties, yes, this is the version you watched on TV as a child. I was so excited to find this on DVD, and it is as wonderful as I remembered it. I'm excited that my own children can now share in this magical adventure. This version is true to the text of the novel. Watching it as a parent, I enjoyed the bits of subtle humor added to some of the characters to keep the movie from being overly dark and disturbing for children. Over the years, I have occasionally tried to find this version. Once I checked out a version from the library that was so boring I couldn't even sit through it. Thank you, Amazon, for offering this wonderful classic!

I have always loved this movie. You may have noticed that there is a more pricey version. I think it was from an earlier printing and this cheaper version just came out. Anyway I have purchased both (one was a present for someone else) and I think the cheaper version (this one) is better. The other one cost me 24.99 and this one cost me 8.99 at walmart. As far as the movie itself goes they are the same. The cheaper one has better extras though. It has info on Lewis and the books while the more expense version just has trailers for other products. So stick with this version and save a few bucks for a better product. I imagine the other one will be going out of print soon if they are now selling this one.

I love this movie..I was about 8 years old when I first saw it and would watch it all the time. I thought the door to another world had to be the coolest thing that could ever happen to you and 25 years later Im still hoping I will find that door. I have kids now and they love it too and so will you. The animation is old school but your adventure will be new everytime you watch it.

I have always loved the animated version since I was a wee tot. However instead of buying this one at 24.99 (or whatever the price is now) there is a new printing that is more like 10 dollars. The movie itself is the same on either version. The dvd for this one claimed to be 5 mintues longer, but I checked and that wasn't the case. The cheaper version has better extras too. This one only has a few trailers for some other products while the cheaper one actually has information on Lewis and the various books. Its not a huge amount of extras, but better then just some trailers. The only thing I did like better on the more pricey version is the presentation. The cover looks better, the menues looke better, etc. Not a huge deal though, more of a personal preference. So look for the other verion, amazon sells it too.

This is just a wonderful version of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe! It was a favorite of mine as a child and now it's a favorite of my 5 year old daughter. She watches it all the time and it's something we both love to watch together.

Not only is it a great story, but it is also great for stirring the imagination.

It is a rather old version so the animation is not what you would expect to see today, however, that does not take away from the enjoyment of watching this wonderful story from C. S. Lewis.

In case you're confused by the conspicious lack of information provided (not only in the listing here but on the DVD packaging itself), this IS the 1979 Bill Melendez Studios (of Peanuts fame) version, which I haven't seen since it originally aired in two-parts on prime time television back in '79!

The transfer here isn't great but is watchable (its comparable in quality to the DVD of "The Last Unicorn.")

If you're looking forward to reliving 70's TV memories or just want a respectable rendition of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe to tide you over until Disney's "Chronicles of Narnia" DVD hits stores, you can't lose with this release.

The classic first Chronicle of Narnia by C.S. Lewis is brought to life in this charming animated adaptation. The film stays quite close to the book (there are a few minor differences) and since it is animated was able to do many things that the BBC live action version could not. This Christian allegory is a tale that children delight in watching and one that adults can enjoy as well (just don't let the simple animation bother you).

Don't listen to this stinky Amazon official reviewer guy. I doubt he would be let into the wardrobe. Come on, dude, it was 1979. Animation had its limits and Disney wasn't going to sink the money into it. The animation is not only completely faithful to the story, but truly captures the spirit of the story where the BBC version can't. BBC's Aslan is cheesy; this Aslan is perfectly real. In my humble opinion, the animation is perfect. I don't think we could do the story any better justice today, with all our special fx.

I was a preschooler in 1979 when this came out. I still remember watching it and being utterly captivated with the evil of the White Witch and the beauty and power of Aslan. The story spoke to me so strongly that I can still see the entire thing in my head almost 25 years later, having only seen it once more since. Later, when I was old enough to read the book, the images in my head didn't conflict or disappoint; rather, they confirmed that the story was, indeed, real.

... buy this for your kids and demand it at your video store.
