Customer Reviews

get this version versus the more expensive one5
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.

Wonderful5
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.

This IS the Bill Melendez / 1979 version!3
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.
