4.0 out of 5 stars Show this to the kids...first., Jun 16 2009

Lewis's stories are more suited to animation when shown to kids. Show them this a couple of years before they see the modern 'spectacular' movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Animated LW&W a joy!, May 22 2008
By 
Philip Chandler (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (DVD)
Some of you in your mid 30's and up may remember this broadcast on television in 2 parts. And if you were like me, you got caught up in the first half, and then HAD to see the second half the next night.
*Some spoilers if you haven't seen or read the story as of yet**

While the animation is perhaps weak at best, it does have a certain story book feel of simplicity. (The backgrounds are actually quite beautiful)
The voice work is quite good (although, 2 children speak with english accents, and the other 2 don't), however, the voice of the witch steals the whole show. She's absolutely fabulous in this.
Not to mention, the BEAUTIFUL score that goes with this film could rival the score of the 2005 movie. People are still asking for the soundtrack to this!
It HAS trimmed down some scenes from the book to make it 90 minutes. The opening is done in a flashback (It starts with Lucy returning). Gone is the scene when the children are taken to the Beavers by the robin (it's lines are given to Mr. Beaver) as is the meeting with Father Christmas (Aslan gives the children their gifts).
However, despite these short removals, the lines are recited WORD FOR WORD directly from the Book!
If you're a fan of the story, and haven't taken this one in, it's worth the time. It really is quite a joy to sit through.

5.0 out of 5 stars get this version versus the more expensive one, Dec 13 2005
By Jeffrey A. Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (DVD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Oct 17 2005
By April Warner "fairiedreams" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (DVD)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars This IS the Bill Melendez / 1979 version!, Jan 11 2006
By Winston Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (DVD)
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.
