BBC Chronicles of Narnia: LWW - Chapter 3/6 Part 1/3

[@SasatheShy]

Don't care if people call this cheesy or make fun of it. It came out the year I was born. I grew up watching these. Had them all on VHS as a child. Thank you for putting these up :)

[@DaveAndBeth1978]

Couldn't agree more! If this came out in 1988, then I was 10 at the time, had them all on VHS too as a young girl... Evokes memories of my little brother, who loved the series too, we watched them loads before he sadly died of Reye's Syndrome aged 9 in 1992 (I was 14), but it's lovely to see these again and remember when he was still with us... Wonderful adaptation!

[@MusicalSeizureGuy]

Really this means so much... loved this in my childhood and now I’m almost 40 and still love this ☺️😂🤪

[@weishauptogram]

"It looks as thought Mrs. Beaver is expecting us." is my new favourite euphemism.

[@leverlockswinguard3672]

Aaahh, Brings me back to when I was a kid, Thanks for uploading this.

[@geminipr1989sikh]

Awww I havent seen this in like 13 years...the theme at the beginning bought back so many memoriesss :)

[@gracecarpenter8145]

" We're not safe in the open!" *walks into an open field* LOL I love this movie, and all the others. This is my childhood in a nutshell. I checked this out from the library so many times that the librarians might as well have saved themselves the trouble and just given it to me!

[@capnhawkins]

Same, they may as well have just kept it on their desk!

[@KoshVader]

Morgrim made me and my sister giggle as a kid because his nose always wobbled when he roared. We called him Jelly Nose. XD

[@nickpropst4938]

That bass clarinet is magical. The dark magician.

[@j3w3Lry]

LOL i love this old version!! "Aslan is on the move!" *Everyone looks up in dramatic awe to the skies and smile* hahha love it.

[@williamwills492]

This bit was filmed behind where I lived in Stockhill Woods on the Mendip Hills, Somerset :)

[@energybengt]

You know, the production value in this series is high, for it invites viewers to engage their imagination. I like the way the creatures are unconvincing by today's standards. Being served up many a lush but story-less movie with weakly drawn characters, I feel like Puddleglum ... preferring to live a dream world rather than a 'real' one on screen whose studio's priority is money over story, or challenging its audience. This is a true-hearted attempt to bring the spirit of the books to life.

[@WanderlustConsumed]

Not gonna lie, first time I watched this as a kid these beavers absolutely terrified me. Peeking out from behind the trees phwwoooarrr gave me chills. Then a close up of his face was simply traumatising.

[@csi3willows]

@ludoviciana11 I think this mini-series was nominated for Emmy's, I love this series, this version kept very faithful to the books rather than the new ones, the new ones do look very much alike where as these kids don't look like siblings at all but they are brilliant young actors

[@CharlotteDonovan]

that moment when mr beaver says 'aslan is on the move' and they all do a proper cheesy movie moment 'look far off into the distance' even though they have no idea who the hell he is xD

[@GingerSnapp89]

HAHA. This brings me back to when I was Mrs. Beaver at my local playhouse's version of LWW. I couldn't fit through a doorway XD

[@jmacjr101]

Thank you for Uploading. I love the witch! she is SUCH a spazz! I love the kids too. And i love the other narnia. Both are so good in their own right

[@Disneyfan82]

I remember seeing this version in the 4th grade just as we were assigned to read the book. I think the beavers are better looking in the Disney version.

[@NYPoster]

OMG...LOL..that beaver suit was so bad! Still love this series though

[@StevenRumm]

so the beavers and werewolf scared the shit out of me as a kid..bring on the nightmares

[@gabgarcia6253]

Same here

[@izakbear7524]

That wolf was like the scariest shit ever to me.

[@shadowdragon3776]

Steven Rumm yeah you aint lying those things are creepy as fuck

[@alexander3062]

i love how none of the kids are weirded out by talking animals and fauns and stuff

[@epfizerdoolittleajl2165]

This film is so cozy good for watching when sick, like now :-(

[@SimonStreuffViolinEducation]

+Ava Lawrence Wow same here! Haven't seen this series for around 20 years. Its still magical. Very nice music!

[@axel4clover1]

u should compile all of maugrins parts please it would be perfect thanks fr the upload

[@milesjolly6173]

RRROOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!

[@gogetyourverb]

I like these beavers better than the ones in the disney version. They have better chemistry and a better relationship with the children.

[@Tricerictops4]

i fucking hated that maugrim roar when i was younger, so damn creepy

[@LauraBethEliza]

OK, everyone, let's try to get this straight: It probably wouldn't have been possible to have animatronic beavers because, unlike Aslan, they have to do a lot of moving around. They could get away with Aslan staying in practically the same place throughout a whole scene, but the beavers had to lead the children all over the place.

[@Blokewood3]

Yeah. But maybe the costume would have looked less silly on a smaller actor. The BBC had quite a few short actors working on Narnia to play Trumpkin(his actor also plays the head dwarf in LWW), Trufflehunter, Reepicheep, Nikabrik, and more.

[@lefinlay]

Mrs Pattmore from Downton Abbey plays Mrs Beaver

[@tonlito22]

Almost lost it with the beavers, but it still looks better than 9/10s of Doctor Who from the era.

[@wolfcub4alphawolf]

Can you imagine walking in that Beaver costume! At least he was warm!

[@MissStephy100]

if it's always winter how do the potatoes grow?

[@Jacknava2001]

The wolf and the bevers are halarious!

[@GrahamPearson-oo4uy]

I remember watching the photo recaps the first time round which included the continuity announcer mentioning that Mr Tumnus has been arrested by Maugrim.

[@Sinnybee]

"IT'S A BEAVER I SAUR IT'S TAIL!!" (Peter) Also lol @ kids looking up to heaven after "Aslan is on the move" (Beaver) Such a classic

[@samrobinson2671]

Lol, 'I think it looks a nice beaver, but how do we know' how do we know indeed young man. Also 'we ought to be enough for one beaver if it turns out to be an enemy'

[@homiemudkip3170]

When I was younger I tried walking into a wardrobe

[@lordprimus2410]

i saw a couple of things wrong in this episode, like why didn't they say "a talking beeveer/bager whatever, and why didn't one of the kids say " whos aslan". i think the producer forgot to add that.

[@cocogoat1111]

I saw that, and I couldn't help but laugh... a lot. OMG...

[@MidlandNinja]

The beaver's house was actually by a loch in Scotland

[@paulaccuardi9071]

“It might dwarf the average man, but it’s a beaver I swear!”

[@starerik]

Seriously. The wolf and the beavers are fucking scary as shit. Freaked me out as a kid.

[@PhantosTheHedgehog]

Jeez, that is a big beaver

[@CharlotteDonovan]

omg just remembered how funny mr beaver is :')

[@hazardous1990]

what kind of accent do the beavers have?

[@grahampearson5670]

Jadis you still live.

[@lovetolovefairytales]

"We ought to be a match for one beaver" Yeah, but that's not a beaver, it's an animal from star wars! -LOL, just joking around.

[@bruhouse42]

That was a reply to this post: "You call that a bevear? It looks seriously messed up?"

[@skik164]

That's been a while, ... ;O) I didn't mind the big beaver as a child, so I wouldn't mind it now, ... and besides watching this, ... they walked through a wardrobe into a magic land, so why should a humansized beaver be a problem? ;O) I love the series!

[@talkieful1]

People you got to remember this was the late 80's and the technology was different. I remember the animated one. Think it was from 1982, not the 79 one. That was a good one for animation. Think BBC made only 3 of them. The Silver Chair was the last when it came on PBS here in America.

[@verprtectivefangirl2238]

Maugrim used to scare the FUCK out of me!!

[@GabrielNorrby]

The beavers looks so crazy and funny! And Maugrim, wtf!

[@amberquayle2459]

Love it

[@DjD3vil7]

2:18 hahhahahhaha "SO DO I !!!"

[@Gleek227]

i thought he said... "ITS BEIBER I SAW HIS TAIL!" lol

[@pn9359]

All BBC children's drama featured mannered acting (up until Byker Grove) but this is in a league of its own.

[@prettytp1991]

Oh my lord! I wish I stayed a child FOREVER!!!

[@JonnioTr0n]

I can just imagine the beaver falling over in that suit. Lol

[@EvelynJ394]

Not sure whether or not I love or hate the animals in comparison to the newer films, either way they remind me of my childhood and looking out for 6 foot beavers in the forest

[@Lazyboy5298]

Sooooo... did beavers used to be over 5 feet tall back in the 80s?

[@williamwills492]

@missfranky lol fantastic! That's much better!

[@R6GAMERpt]

susan looks older than peter

[@TopjarMovies]

Damn that scared the crap out of me 0:48

[@Mankind081]

Beather?

[@SamanthaGonzalezDesigner]

Is it just me or does Maugrin look like Lion-O from the Thundercats?

[@ALEXIP1003]

Beaver Is that You I have been worried sick

[@CallumT5]

great

[@Ovenfriend]

the beaver looks like an egg when it's walking :D

[@get2knowmii]

Goodness Me! That beaver costume! LOL!!!

[@kells115]

HAHAH love the beaver

[@aurorasbookstash]

I just can't believe how much better actors these 4 kids are. I mean, sure, their ages are a little too close together and one of them is rather...unfortunate-looking. But compared to the 4 (especially Susan/Anna Popplewell) kids in the new movie versions, these kids should have won Oscars. Or Emmys, I suppose, it would have been.

[@Iisdabest889]

@untilted What beavers?

[@MidlandNinja]

I wonder why they chose to have an image of Maugrim floating down into the room in the cave?

[@im2cre8iv2]

5.44: His token is some wadded up TP

[@bobo577]

@1triplej2 He did in an outtake

[@CrazyKris990]

You call that a bevear? It looks seriously messed up?

[@juliansew]

ASLAN IS ON THE MOON. i alwaysss thought they said that...

[@WillScarlet16]

I don't know how many times I've had to tell somebody - BEAVERS DO NOT EAT FISH!

[@detailsfromme]

I know this is fantasy but that should atleast make it a little real like making the beather a little smaller.

[@TopjarMovies]

morgrim at the start, thats freaky man. floating head in the room roooaaarrrr!

[@joshjhutton]

Thats one Big Beaver

[@alexander3062]

wtf, why is aslan an animatronic and the rest of the animals people in cheesy costumes

[@jkmmrm]

The beaver sounds a little bit like Hagrid.

[@MidlandNinja]

I wonder how Tumnus suddenly knew he would be arrested?

[@Wylht]

at first glince it looks like a bear stalking.

[@shadowdragon3776]

God Damn that fucking wolf i swear it looks like something id see in a fucking nightmare i mean Jesus Christ

[@shadowdragon3776]

Also just because something like this would look good in animation or drawings does not mean it would look good in real life in animation or drawings you can get away with the way a lot of stuff looks no matter how weird it looks but in real life it looks fucking scary

[@verprtectivefangirl2238]

It used to fuck me up real bad!!

[@Kaladelia]

@LifeInATent if you notice everyone except edmund has a 'good' reaction. edmund looks scared. It is in the book. They ask later when they don't have as much on their minds.

[@ExitStatement]

@starerik ME TOO!!!!

[@MidlandNinja]

@00oldskool No girl in the world was called Lisa in 1940!

[@horacerobinson1893]

Beaver.

[@csi3willows]

I think it's funny how they cast a red headed actor to play edmond, Red headed step child lol

[@Iisdabest889]

@chocci3chipp When I first saw this, I thought it was a cut scene to where they went into an amazing cave or something, not them hearing an amazing word...

[@OldZikali]

@WestEndGirlxx It did work, would the worst plan in history have worked?

[@jelenajr4]

6 people are grown ups

[@franciscoaraujo7033]

Also the beavers are a couple, but the male beaver dont show very affection to his mate, they look more like friends than a couple

[@LoneWolfZakuro14]

+Francisco Araújo Answer to both your questions: They're magical talking walking beavers, I seriously don't think you need to be scientific at this point.

[@rebecacyrineu]

6:13 Aslam is on the move !

[@Knappa22]

I like the use of 'old world' English phrases like "By Jove" / "Sharp's the word" etc. They're not used anymore, though I remember my grandparents saying them.

[@sparklingstone15]

i really wanted peter to go rawr at the end of reading the message. :(

[@franciscoaraujo7033]

How can a beaver fish, they are harbivores.

[@MsSarjen]

@LifeInATent Well, considering that Aslan is based on Jesus - I think it's supposed to mean that just by hearing his name, the feel his greatness and great comfort.

[@MissMasonxox]

the talking animals in narnia are supposed to be bigger than average, though the beaver is a tad on the large side..

[@maxtina7]

WOW BIG BEAVERS AWSOME

[@whitneymcdonald794]

The beaver looks scary
