BBC Chronicles of Narnia: LWW - Chapter 5/6 Part 3/3

[@Calingaladha]

I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid, and I still love it. I prefer it much more over Disney's new version.

[@IzayoiArwena]

Yes I think its more kid friendly and more accurate with the book. The dwarf is a cute boy here, so fluffy that I want to play with his beard. And The Disney is an old Gollum motherfucker. Tumnus song is happy and Disney is sad and dark. Actually both are amazing because of different reasons. Was so obsessed with Narnia when it first came out

[@nathancruz9172]

I saw this in 3rd grade.

[@JuJuDolly]

Can't believe that when Aslan is on the stone table I still cry :'( After all these years.

[@skaterlover1999]

I remember having nightmares after watching this.

[@abrahamsmith4112]

@@skaterlover1999 I remember was little kid I am was watching and It's very awful I'm was crying because Aslan is on the stone table.

[@joshcoyle3804]

Aslan don’t do this we need you

[@75flash]

I know, the nostalgia of this series cannot be matched, but that doesn't mean the Disney version was bad at all. For example, I love the interpretations of the White Witch in BOTH films. Barbara Kellerman's over the top performance was quite entertaining, and Tilda Swinton's subtlety gave the witch a very eerie and intimidating expression. I saw very little difference in the Aslan's between the 2 performances, both Liam Neeson and William Todd Jones made Aslan seem very wise and powerful, although to be honest, I'd HAVE to give the edge to the BBC version on that one. Simply because the puppetry was so impressive, and really added a strong element to the performance.

[@capnhawkins]

Don't forget Ronald Pickup, he did the voice of Aslan for the BBC one. He gave Aslan's voice a wise, regal quality.

[@28cuteguy]

the music fits this perfectly in my opinion. very well composed!

[@disneyrules7808]

Fun Fact: Barbara Kellerman, the actress who plays The White Witch, also played both the Hag in "Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and The Lady of the Green Kirtle in "The Silver Chair".

[@rhaegostheskydragon1760]

Disney Rules “The Lady of the Green Kirtle” I was aware of. But not the hag.

[@disneyrules7808]

@@rhaegostheskydragon1760 Okay.

[@Ian_Jules]

People seem to either love or hate Kellerman's witch. I like the victory speech, the witch relishing every moment with no silly tough-talk like Swinton was stuck with. And don't anyone knock that lion puppet, either. I loved that lion as a child. I still think it's a fantastic puppet. You can't expect a puppet to look 100% realistic!

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Damn this version of the execution of Aslan was all over the top. The 2005 version was just all quiet, with the surrounding devils just staring at him with the witch just talking randomly

[@SirLuke3375]

I watched it long time ago, when I was a child. Now, the memories are returning... It was so sad seeing Aslan's death.

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

Barbara Kellerman's performance as the White Witch reminds me of Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest - does anyone else see it? It's almost like she was directed to play the part like Kabuki Theatre. Completely stylized in her voice and gesture. I'd be fascinated to read an interview with Ms Kellerman discussing her approach to the role.

[@nathancruz9172]

6:53 I never liked mommie dearest when, I first saw on 📺. Also, I’m glad Joan Crawford is dead 46 years ago for good.

[@alitier3122]

Thanks for uploading this several years ago. This is the most epic part.

[@lotusblue86]

Honestly, this is an old TV- show and if some people don't like old special effects etc. then don't watch it. I think it's brilliant because it brings back memories from my childhood. Sure the effects aren't as good as they are now, but what do you expect from a show that's 20 years old. I'd watch this version rather than the new one any day!

[@benjaminclasper9355]

The ending of chapter 5 is quite upsetting and I still remember the ending of the chapter from when I first watched it 11 years ago in primary school in year 1 and it unsettled me a bit I think and it’s because Aslan didn’t deserve to die at all and the scene before his death unsettled me because he didn’t look unwell at all and the scene before is quite touching really with Susan, Lucy and Aslan and it showed that they had their full trust in him and they did love him for who he was and they believed in him.

[@Adler36]

Jadis the White Witch reminds me a little bit on the ice fairy "The Snow Queen"; a fairy tale from the popular Hans Christian Andersen.

[@gogetyourverb]

Barbara Kellerman is so badass! She totally pushes Tilda off the cliff in this scene!

[@courtneyhawkins2280]

The first time I saw this I cried and could not believe it

[@notisrhcp]

really great video, well done. so many memories, i wish this lion could come back to life. omg

[@disneyrules7808]

This version of The White Witch is portrayed as a cruel standard cackling villain.

[@MusicalSeizureGuy]

Thank you very much I love this movie and books!

[@londonboyleyn]

Aslan sounds like an old man in this version. In the new Narnia movie he at least sounds strong and noble.

[@NightmareDolly]

thank you for posting these. I am looking for ALL 3 versions of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe- BBC, Disney, and animated. I love them all. And for those who find the older versions of no use, the BBC versions are essential staples of many people's childhoods and SOME people don't like the new versions. I have no preference, and am desirous of getting all 3 versions. Sadly, I can't find the new one. Maybe someone could upload it?

[@Ddangerdan]

I'd like to add that if this original version wasn't made, they wouldn't have known what they were doing when making the more recent version of this movie/program.

[@littlesongbird1]

that depends on which publication you are following...it was not the third book that was written. That was Voyage of the dawn threader. BBC did not do the horse and his boy. Sadly, they stopped at the silver chair.

[@Delita247]

I love watching this, I remember got a video of this and I use to watch it, It's my childhood memory. I love this seires and the new movie!

[@Highretrogamelord]

Wow, even Skeletor is in the WW's army. XD

[@ulfberht4431]

🤣🤣

[@Deftknight]

This was wonderfully done in my opinion. Especially for its time as a television film. But For the 2005 film haters, you gotta admit, watch the the sacrifice scene again in the newer one. It doesn't fail.

[@notoriousdip5495]

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

[@Leonette]

Yes, that was a pity. I loved the Horse and his Boy. And the Magician's Nephew.

[@Ddangerdan]

In my personal opinion, Kellerman was the best White Witch. Swinton was good no doubt, but somehow she just didn't capture the reality of it the way Kellerman did.

[@King_Clark]

I knew of this, but even though it was made 20 years ago, it still sucks terribly. I mean, The Empire Strikes back was made about 27 years ago, and it kicks the shit out of this.

[@sarahz2666]

I like the BBC better than the new one!

[@CraigRMcDowall]

Yes, still to this day...it looks as real as I remembered it :)

[@monimuti]

Lucy always likes to take care of people and family

[@Jakegothicsnake]

Anyone else feel like the White Witch's army is comprising mostly of animated ghosts and demons?? I mean in Aslan's army there large groups of nymphs, fauns, satyrs, and dwarfs, but here. Let's see: I've counted two or three hags, two guys will skull faces, one minotaur, one ogre, maybe four or five dwarfs, and a couple of out of place characters like a barbarian, a dark samurai, a bat-woman-thing, and two guys with reptile heads. O_o?

[@Birdieupon]

My god I wept so much at the end of this part when I saw it as a kid. However, there was no episode break in the cut I saw. I can't imagine how it would have felt to wait a whole week to find out what happens next!

[@bijibadness]

the witch is chewing the forrest scenery so hard, the beavers are jealous

[@bubblinbrownsugar616]

LOL!! Little Man's stage name is Big Mick!

[@LtGenAile]

I've never felt this sad for a puppet before

[@shadowdragon3776]

The things flying around remind me of projectiles in a Nintendo game

[@PCCphoenix]

@toffeematt I have to agree--Tilda Swinton took a totally different approach to playing the White Witch and made her cold and intimidating, which I thought was interesting. But when it comes to playing the White Witch, nobody beats Barbara Kellerman.

[@King_Clark]

I'm generally appriciative of any film that I watch, and I can appreciate old special effects. This scene, dispite its source material, is just so corny that I can't stop laughing. I'm supposed to be crying, damn it!

[@kurvos]

Okay, I don't care what anyone says, but... seriously, the White Witch in this version of Narnia is just too ridiculous. Even Voldemort in Harry Potter is more subtle than she is. It's just so over-the-top, and... she's batshit insane. I hate when they must make villains with such big problems with their temper. The Disney version of her might not be perfect, but... it's better than this, if you ask me.

[@raphaelmadrid8361]

She isn't subtle at all in the books. She even even went around town hitting people with a lamppost in the 'Magician's Nephew'.

[@CraigRMcDowall]

as a child, I used to believe it was a real lion. When I found out after watching Blue Peter it wasnt, I was SO upset! :')

[@JSmedic1]

Me too! I cried when Aslan died. I cried when he rose from the dead, too.

[@notisrhcp]

oh my god i cry now

[@MidlandNinja]

What was that creature by the stone table with an orange beard?

[@jediguardianaka6202]

I think its a evil barbarian and if you look closely there is a batwoman,a dark samurai,liches,lizard people,and a Blue man with goat horned like creature and also a man with a blackbeard and pointy nose

[@Jakegothicsnake]

I agree. All versions have something I like and don't care for. For example, I prefer the the actors and actresses in leafy and flowery costumes here over the CGI nymphs in the films, and I like the costumed hags over the more bird-like ones in the film. However I think the centaurs and mermaids in the recent films are just AWESOME! All versions have good dwarfs. The fauns and satyrs are a toss up. I like the CGI goat legs, but the satyrs in the films looked a little too furry-ish.

[@starrysky12]

I red it's book too. it's perfect

[@Jakegothicsnake]

You want an insane White Witch? Watch the animated version. The witch is screaming CONSTANTLY! lol

[@Harratko]

i love Aslan.

[@CraigRMcDowall]

I like both adaptions, INCLUDING the original animated version too. They are all unique and different in their own way. There are things in the new version not touched upon in this version, and there are things in this version not touched upon in the new version. The new version adds a bit more depth to the characters though. Such as Susan, in the new one is more "trying to be the grown up".

[@javiercito411]

lol When the hags approach Aslan at 4:40 they show Lucy and Susan with faces that say "The fuck?"

[@budik0317]

I prefer this Lucy over the new one a thousand times (sorry, I just didn't like the remakes because they spolied the original stories in my opinion, specially "Prince Caspian")... On the other hand, there's a lot of Gospel in this part of the story (in the whole story, actually)... The best of the seven books of Narnia is the way Lewis explained the foundations of christian faith so easily, that a very young child can understand them. Aslan's death is a remarcable example.

[@ButtaUsagi]

@lilsisasu Agreed! Both have a special quality. Even the animated version was super cool.

[@therealvaliantthor]

The lion makes me think of the old fake Jaws shark:) I remember this when I was a kid, good times!

[@jmacjr101]

Both versions are very special in their own rights. There are no reasons to compare. The witch in this is better however. more personality. I hate when she stabs him. Always scared me as a child. But this one brings back fond memories as does the other one. The other one is how one of my best friends and i bonded

[@92Funny]

i mean the head the head looks like its some sort of machine

[@JKLOL1999]

in hate when the chapters keeping ending (8) LIke that wee song !!(8)

[@AudreyMealiff]

Tilda Swinton IS the White Witch. Far more chilling than Barbara Kelllermann was.

[@Sinnybee]

I think the Lucy in the newer version fits the role better--younger age, more innocence. The actress for Susan does well too... I like how they threw in the kiss with her and Prince Caspian... I think adding in some romance was a nice touch... wish there was more lol. They would make a way cute couple. (Prince Caspian is hawt :P)

[@92Funny]

i think the lion robot is pretty good

[@joewisnieski]

@HeathenMaiden That's interesting. Could you tell me how you've come to that conclusion?

[@00Kuja00]

i like this witch:D she is so bad ass^^ and totaly frenzy at the end:D

[@RivenDrago]

Yes, basically. Aslan knew the Deep Magic would resurrect him because he sacrificed himself, and he knew the Witch would become overconfident and launch an all-out attack he could defeat when he came back, thus ensuring his victory. That, and CS Lewis asking, "hm, how can I REALLY hit them over the head with this Jesus allegory?"

[@zurvanmooney4940]

Actually, I think it’s called The Deeper Magic From Before The Dawn Of Time

[@joshcoyle3804]

Aslan please don’t do this we need you we can’t go to war without you

[@0indiangirl00]

i think the scene of the girls and aslan in the forest is one of the best of the whole movie... I don't like the acting of the children or aslans voice in the other scenes very much, but here everything is great! but - I'm sorry^^ - I like the new Narnia-Version most! I love the actors more there and the development of the children and the magic... it's fascinating... I really love it

Aslan doesn't look much different when he's shaved.

[@PCCphoenix]

They didn't cut off nearly as much fur as portrayed in the book, probably so as not to spoil the later effect of Aslan's resurrection.
