You are a legend. Thank you so much for uploaded these! Been years since I've seen the movie, and this brought back fond memories of watching it on Channel 4 as a young lad. Liked and subscribed!
+RetroJackal Awww thank you so much! This movie was a huge part of my childhood, and I'd been looking for the soundtrack for years, so as soon as I was able to get my greedy hands on it, I knew I had to share it. :)
“It was definitely lighter now. They could see the mice nibbling away, dozens, hundreds, of little field mice. And at last, one by one, the ropes were all gnawed through. The sky in the east was whitish by now and the stars were getting fainter - all except one very big one, low down on the eastern horizon. They walked to and fro more times than they could count between the dead Aslan and the Eastem ridge, trying to keep warm. Suddenly, from behind them they heard a loud noise - a great cracking, deafening noise, as if a giant had broken a giant's plate. The girls rushed back to the Stone Table. Lucy: What’s that? Susan: Oh it's too bad. They might have left the body alone! Lucy: Who's done it? What does it mean? Magic? Aslan: Yes! It is more magic! Susan: Oh, Aslan! Aren't you dead? Aslan: Not now, it is I, Lucy: Oh, you're real, you're real! Aslan stood for a second, his eyes very bright, his limbs quivering, lashing himself with his tail. Then he made a leap high over their heads and landed on the other side of the Table. Laughing, though she didn't know why, Lucy scrambled over it to reach him. Aslan leaped again. A mad chase began. Round and round the hill-top he led them, now hopelessly out of their reach, now letting them almost catch his tail, now diving between them, now tossing them in the air with his huge and beautifully velveted paws and catching them again, and now stopping unexpectedly so that all three of them rolled over together in a happy laughing heap of fur and arms and legs. It was such a romp as no one has ever had except in Narnia. Susan: But what does it all mean? Aslan: It means, that though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of Time. But if she could have looked a little further back, before Time, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards.” - Chapter 6 The Spell is Broken from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis and Robin Lawrie
Mark my words.. all the bland soundtracks currently being released will sound dated as fuck in just a few years due to all the trend reliant clanking of copious feral drums & preset percussion. They can't hold a candle to this. This could have been released yesterday; it's so contemporary & timeless. It truly evokes an emotional response & is in it's own group of stunning scores along side other obscure underrated classics such as Watership Down & Return to OZ.
This soundtrack captures what the books felt like to me :)
Same here.
Well lut.
This has been one of my favourite pieces of music for the thirty-odd years since I first saw the cartoon. Thank you for sharing :)
+shialtin No problem! Agree, this score is so stunning and underrated!
You can say that again.
Thank you for sharing, This is one of my favorite movie scores of all time.
This is the best part of the whole score

I swear if Narnia was real I’d go in a second.
