Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe
Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe
The first-written and best-known of C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia series, 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' is a story beloved by many. The first attempt to adapt it was with a TV serial in 1988. Being produced by the BBC in the 1980s, the series has very little budget and has to work with dated CGI, a problem for a story where magic plays a heavy role.
Despite having some fans, the series is widely considered to be inferior to the film released in 2005. While not perfect, the film's larger budget allows for it to tell a full and compelling story in the world of Narnia.
Festival of lights
