CHRONICLES OF NARNIA BBC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The BBC series captures the innocence, the adventure, and the peculiarly British charm of the books. Also, much like Peter Jackson's new Lord of the Rings movies, it replaces lengthy expository text with beautiful scenery and intricately designed props, keeping the plot advancing steadily. Though there are some groan-worthy bits of melodramatic line delivery, the acting is overall quite good, and there is a standout performance by Tom Baker (known to many SF fans as the fourth Doctor Who) as Puddleglum the Marshwiggle in The Silver Chair. The only thing to complain about is that they never got to make the other three books.

Classic version, still great for kids.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have great fond memories of watching these on PBS every year as a child. Do they hold up to the big budget movie versions, not really so much, but I still enjoy them immensely. I showed them to my 10 year old and he loves them as much as I did. They run a bit longer as they were miniseries. This gives more time to develop the characters. The price for all for together is amazing as well!

Great price + BBC First Class
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always enjoyed the Disney version of Narnia, but British BBC is just as good. Love BBC movies and programming and they did not disappoint with the Narnia collection which includes 4 movies! (For a fantastic price at Best Buy- I got this for $4.99 - unbelievable!)

Fun movie for the whole family
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth buying and a great price now. This has lots of entertainment value and the story moves along at a great pace. It is the BBC version, so the accents can get a tad hard to understand, but overall it is a good film.

A very fine childrens fantasy .

I have been looking for the originals
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been wanting the originals so my son can watch what I watched growing up. Don't get me wrong I like the new versions too but I like the originals too. I hope everyone gets to appreciate the originals as much as I do.
