The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is an animated television program that was broadcast in two parts on CBS in 1979, based on the novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis.
When four children Lucy, Susan, Edmund and Peter stumble into an old Wardrobe they find themselves in a magical land called Narnia with talking animals, fauns, hags, the Wicked White Witch and the great lion Aslan. There they meet the friendly Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, who help them on their quest to find Aslan the great lion. Only he can help save Lucy's friend Mr. Tumnus (the faun) from the White Witch. They have a fun mysterious time there, and ultimately end up ruling as kings and queens, until they end up back home.
Production notes
The rights to produce the television program were given to the Episcopal Radio TV Foundation in the mid-1950s when C.S. Lewis was recording the Episcopal Series of the Protestant Hour radio programs. Dr. Ted Baehr was elected President of the Episcopal Radio TV Foundation as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was preparing to be broadcast by CBS, and supervised the distribution of the subsequent video. The CBS program had 37 million viewers, and won an Emmy Award.[1]

To a lot of people this film ranks high in their childhood, gotta love the music too.
It´s one of the most importaint pieces of my childhood
I remember they used to show this around Christmas time with the other specials. and I think this version is better then the live action movie version.
I totally agree
it terrified me as a child 😭
Yes sir this one and Lord of the rings 1978 along with the Hobbit man timeless classics and I was born in 92 when the LOTR came out I was probably one of very few kids at that age that understood the magnitude of it hitting the big screen.
I'm 35 years old, I burst into tears seeing this, a fond memory of my childhood, seeing Aslan come back to life, just stirs something in me
Same, my favorite part is when Aslan gives the speech about their battle not being over yet and that their people are outnumbered and they must join the fight. It always gets my blood boiling, lol. It’s just so moving. Especially since they had been the ones who stood up to the witch in the past most likely or were captured and then were turned to stone.
It is a little bit how I imagine it will be like when God comes back and all good people are brought back to life to take out the forces of evil.
Just so epic.
Yes! A child´s primitive understanding of righteousness. "Those who gives their lives.." or something like that. Beautiful.
EXACTLY…❤❤ I feel the same…
Me too, everytime
I watched this a 100 times growing up! Was such a good movie to get lost in as a child
in the uk they alwas used to put this on television on boxing day afternoon. good memories of being full of turkey, sandwiches, and cake and just chilling out watching cartoons eating selecion box chocolates. wih my brother and sister and mum and dad.
This movie was my introduction to narnia as a kid, so when the live action movie came out, I thought it was an adaption of this film.
same here. I saw this one first before the 2005 film. I saw it in elementary school. Sometime later, the British version.
@@AH-is5yg thats why the live action film felt so epic when i first saw it
@@AndreNitroX The 2005 was a great and a huge improvement of the original. It's an epic upgrade. When I heard Disney was going to make the movie back then I was excited.
This is got to be my favourite version of The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe
Yes, my first version
Same. Posher versions have been made but for me, this is the one
Same. The one and only. 🕊️
I can't believe this is on here!!! I'm so happy - thank you for putting the whole animation on here. I wish they would still televise it like they use to on Xmas. Love it.
Couldn't agree more 😍
I watched this as a child every day one it came on at Xmas. I found it on here about 3 years ago now it's a personal tradition to watch it at Xmas. So much nostalgia my kids now love it too.
When I was a child, it aired on the Disney channel.
I watched it when it first came out. I have seen it a few times and thought it would be fun to play it tonight :).
I remember the Chronicles movie coming out on the tv whenever Christmas came and I crushed really hard on Edmund Pevensie ☺️✌️
@@harrystoller4147 Yup I remember this
In 1979 I was in the 7th grade at home for a week with chicken pox...My mother found this on television, and I laid on the couch under a blanket watching. I've loved it ever since.
How old were you in 7th grade?
@@harrystoller4147 12
Now I’m in 7th grade reading this… incredible
I was 6 but remember it too
Awwwww Edmund wasn't this mean in the Narnia movie!
Im in tears seeing this again after so many years. The best version and most faithful to the book. Amazing that it still creates so much emotion and drama given when it was made. But that’s also the power of C.S. Lewis
If you don't find the music in this movie to be the most moving, wonderful and magical thing, you have no soul!
Agreed. It's beautiful and magical.
Agree! Moving very moving. Sad...so sad 😔
The white stag is my favorite
To be frank I don't as much because personally while it is enjoyable in some aspects, I prefer the 2005 version much more. There's something about Tilda Swinton being the White Witch that just works so well. In retrospect I prefer the PG-13 live action version because it was a much more realistic view of Narnia.
@@saph100They weren't talking about the adaptation itself; just the music/score.
OMG Johan Got to give you a high five for this, The original 1979? Tried looking for this original full film for a very long time. A bloody classic reminds me of being an infant special memories of my mum when she was alive. Thanks
I have great memories of watching this as an infant too - sorry you lost your mum along the way, but happy it gave you special memories.
What about your dad? Is he alive?
Praise the Lord. 🎶
God is Good.❤️
Focus on Jesus.✝️
Victorious in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 5:15-16
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
I wanted to try Turkish Delight so bad because of this movie 😂 this is the best version of Narnia films imo. Love it :) thanks for posting
It’s actually delicious
What’s Turkish delight? I’ve never eaten it before.
@@harrystoller4147 it’s candy. It has a texture of a gum drop and comes in different flavors
I use to eat Powdered donuts 🍩 & Imagine 💭 Their Turkish Delight.
My favourite Christmas movie of all time. I have such fond memories of watching this as a child. The music (Michael J Lewis) makes me cry every time I hear it... especially the introduction. Totally underrated soundtrack!! ❤
I watched this when I was a kid on a vhs. Dammnn.
Me too,lol
Same
same. and I'm only a teen XD
I think in the 90s we were able to catch it on ABC here and there. I think mostly around Fall and Winter and I loved it each time I watched it
On the Disney channel I watched it.
I saw the most recent lion, witch, and wardrobe on netflix and was positive there was a cartoon version that I watched in my youth but couldn't find it on any streaming channels. Thank you so much for uploading so many nostalgic memories that brought a tear to my eye. What a happier and simpler time to be alive ❤
I love how the witch is screaming in literally every scene she's in. Such a villian you love to hate.
Simple times. Sigh. Good old days. Compared to now.
The hero's journey.
In 1982 I was 12 and saw this movie.
It mesmerized me.
I now know.
It was my soul that recognized the hero's journey.
Likewise, this was one of my earliest films in my memory
Same ❤️
I don’t remember how old I was when I saw it. I was much younger.
Ah finally found the British version. Only seen American version where Edmund inexplicably still has an English accent...
Tuesday 12th December 2023. I used to borrow this on video from my friend Alex when we were in Primary School together. Thank you for bringing back a memory. Best of luck and Merry Christmas! Love from Virginia.?! ;) :( :) 😃🦁❄️🌍🎁
lol I know Lucy is just a cartoon, but she has the sweetest face and personality in this version! 😊❤️
Way back in the day. Only thing this is missing is random VHS glitching.
you can hear it in the soundtrack at times in this (warping the pitch). its not too unbearable though.
@@addrenry78454:44 was funniest part lol
This is my favourite version,but the screen is blurry.
So many memories flashing back. I was so small and mesmerised by this film and yet I see I didn't understand much of what was happening in it.
I'm 39 now and I still love when Turkish delight sweets come in those dainty boxes like in this.
I’m back watching this movie bcos I’m sad right now . I’m going through a tough time & this movie I know will cheer me up. 🙏
My brother and I referred to this version as "The Hippie Cartoon." Thank you for uploading!
The hippie cartoon all about the gentle powerful sacrificial love of Jesus 😊
Was born in 1982 and watched this as a child. Have grown up thinking about this movie. Thanks!!! 🤩🤩😍😍🥰🥰👏👏👏👏
I FINALLY FOUND THIS! I was almost starting to think i was going through that Mandela effect where like you think you remember watching something but it doesn't actually exist or something, cause like I always remember a certain scene and i remember watching this in like elementary school or something.😅😅
After seeing this when I was little, I would be feeling the back of our closet for the world on the other side.
This is better than the live-action version. Music is amazing!
Thank you so much for making this available!!! I love this because it takes me back to my childhood ❤️
I have the faintest memory of seeing this in a Sunday school classroom in the mid 80's. Love it.
R.I.P. Arthur Lowe (1915-1982) (Mr. Beaver), Leo McKern (1920-2002) (Professor), June Whitfield (1925-2018) (Mrs. Beaver), Stephen Thorne (1935-2019) (Aslan) and Leslie Phillips (1924-2022) (Mr. Tumnus).
There is deep magic within this story
when i was a child, i had a very valuable skill when it came to films, music & tv programmes. if i watched the thing enough times, i could repeat it in my imagination using my memory, in its entirety. i did eventually learn that this was because i grew up neurodivergent - anyway, this came in extremely useful when i was bored in school, in the car on long drives and on holiday when there was no electric to watch anything. this was one of those films that i photographically memorised. i absolutely adored it, and it still holds up after all those years. beautiful animation and music. it had me climbing and clambering into every wardrobe in my house, hoping that one day i’d end up in magical narnia. i am so grateful it’s on here, nothing much i love more than revisiting my bizarre childhood!
I still have this recorded in one of my VHS tapes. Ah, nostalgia...
Me too!
Same here! My dad recorded it from the TV lol
Omg 👁️👄👁️ I watched this movie 🍿 about a thousand times.... As a child... Wow 🤩 thanks for this 🥰🥰😘
My memory did this movie more justice than it deserved.
Oh wow. This brings back memories. You would have to be a 70s or 80s baby to appreciate this
I remember my teachers wheeling in a huge tv and video player and letting us watch this as an Xmas treat at school . ( British version )
41 and still my favourite 😊🇬🇧
My favourite animated film also love the sound track to it
Wonderful! Thankyou so much for posting this. I remember watching as a young teenager in the 1980s - it’s still magical. The final scenes with the white stag and music, and the professor’s last words are so evocative.
Couldn't agree more absolute cracker this movie 👏
Watched this with my friends at school in the 80s great film.i now write children's books 📚 and read to kids in schools.
I utterly loved this cartoon as a child, and then 3-4 years later got the BBC tv version as an Xmas Present. Now looking forward to the Netflix adaptation
I hope they adapt the Magician's Nephew (complete with the silver apples which Prof. Digory Kirke uses to heal his mother in the book using real apples coated in food grade glitter)
When I was like 5 I went over to a friend's house and started watching this movie. I got picked up as soon as the queen kills Aslan and I cried because I thought that's how the movie ended until I read the book like 10 years later
I first saw this on Christmas Eve on Channel 4.
Right back to childhood. Watched this on repeat, still remember the words. The witch was terrifying 🙈
I have this on cassette, never realized it was this old since I was born '90
You mean videocassette?
This version touch my spirit as a child. I became so intrigued by this movie, I begged my parents to buy all of CS Lewis books.
It forever changed my relationships with God and others. 🕊️
Thank you for adding this to YT❤
The tea, toast, cake, Turkish Delight, Beavers laying out ham sandwiches, a giant Lion getting sacrificed and coming back to life. What is there not to love?
I came across this movie in the early 90s. I was sharing children stories and cartoons with my oldest son in his youth. I still watch it. It makes me think about my childhood. Oddly, I didn't see this cartoon when I was young girl. I have seen many others, but not this one. I love it. 💞
I love it forever and ever eternity ❤
I was only 7 when I watched this for the first time , I can´t believe it!!!!!!!! So glad to see it again, even if it is a bit blurry hahaahahha..Thanks to my friend Javiera for sharing great memories...
I am super glad this randomly popped up as a recommended watch❤ i have never seen this version😮 thank you!!!
Watched this as a kid too - a lot! Not the original voices though...
I LOVE this so much I bought the 📀 dvd several years ago. 😎😇✌🏾
So happy to find this on here! I remember being in floods of tears about Aslan, then absolutely overjoyed. This has taken me back to being a child again. Thank you! ❤️
This creeped me out as a kid and it stills creeps me out as a 41 year old … after a quick glance at the comments I guess I’m alone on this
Me too! But in a good way
I remember my grandma renting this when I was 8 in 1999 with a sea movie( cartoon, I can't remember what it's called ) from the Fort White Library Fort white,FL. I cried when the lion passed. I didn't understand what everything meant. I never watched the live version cuz this version stuck in my mind. Then the sea movie. I wish I could remember the sea movie. I miss my grandma soooo much❤❤❤
I loved this movie too, though I watched it for the first time it was released in the theater in 2005. I was 7.
Ah yes I remember my public library having such a vast selection of different types of cartoons
I watched this with my grandmother as well
The live action is honestly really good.
@@johntheechidna1050 its live action adaption done right
Powerful profound and bibical cb
Omg I don't remember the cartoon for this. I just remembered the BBC kids program I grew up with as an 80s kid.
Saturday 30th March 2024. I always have and always will love The Lion, The Witch and tbe Wardrobe. Thank you. Bless you and best of luck. Love from Virginia Clark.?! ;) :( :) 😀💙🦁🐺🌈
Edmund looks like animated blonde Harry Potter 🤣
Norma Desmond's finest hour as the White Witch...
This reminds me of my grandparents house always came on the bbc on Christmas Eve in the 90s makes me sad even when I hear the music my grandads dead now, my daughter loves this film so when I hear the music makes me think of my gramps ❤️
This is the first time I've watched this cartoon
1:12:53 - I remember when I watched The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe many years ago. This would have been The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe (1979) - American Version. I wept deeply when I saw this as a 9 year old child back on CBS on April 1-2, 1979. It wasn't until 10 years later in college, 19 years of age, that it was brought to my attention that the Lion was actually Christ. It was a pure revelation to me and I was awestruck. ❤
I wonder why my memory just came back to this for christmas ♥️ thank you for uploading this. Nostalgic.
My childhood movie ❤
Mine too 🙂
Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this movie!!!
Saw this on tape back in the 1980s.
You gotta love this movie so magical.. 🤗
Thanks for sharing this.
I have vivid memories of watching this when i was younger
I saw this on TV when I was 8 years old and a few times after it was shown for a couple of years steadily then it stopped being broadcast but it always stayed with me. I don't remember the animation being this primitive but the story was so great it made the art seem better than it was in my memory.
Loved this when i was a kid. Now i am 49 and Think i Will Watch it again…
Omg I was eight years old when this premiered 😊
Haven’t seen this since 1996! Thank you
Jesus I forgot how different the art styles were in the 70s. The were a lot of shows from the 70s with reruns in the 90s and dear lord as an adult this is haunting but still great lol
Thank you for having this available!! Brings back nostalgic memories for me as a child 🥰
thank you for posting
This is where I base my childhood memories. Thank Aslan that I found this. We are lucky that Lucy did not freeze at the start.
I am so glad you uploaded this!
Ow, my eyes! I'm sure I must have watched this as a kid. I would have been ten or eleven when it came out. I seem to have blocked all memory of it from my mind and made room for pretty much anything else.
Thank you for posting this much beloved movie. I have the VHS videotape and I would watch it with my children. Oh, so many delightful memories! 🙂❤️❤️❤️
This is the best adaptation and it's not even close.
Watching this as a kid, I used to dream of eating Turkish delights… Ate them, and was sorely disappointed 😔
We saw the strangest version on TV (UK). It started out with English voices, then the soundtrack went... wrong, then the ads came on, and after the ads it was the US soundtrack with American voice actors!
This remains for me the perfect adaptation of the book. The one oddity is that on this edition, with the English cast, the end credits are for the US version. I’ve always been curious about some of the voices: I hear Stephen Garlick as Peter and Sheila Hancock as the Witch, Leo McKern as the Professor and Leslie Philips as Mr Tumnus, Arthur Lowe and June Whitfield as the Beavers. But who are voicing Susan, Edmund and Lucy I wonder?
I would say this particular version is the US cut. In the UK the chief of the secret police was named Maugrim. In the US version of the book (and film) was Fenris Ulf. Maybe they kept the latter for both.
This is definitely the UK cut - the witch played by Sheila Hancock rather than Beth Porter.
This was my favorite version. !!! Saw this year’s ago when I was a kid
Saved the Hitchhiking Ghosts.
I’m 40 and we named our bong “Mr. Tumnus” because of this movie.
Is anyone else absolutely terrified by this type of animation? Like… suuuuper uncomfortable
THANK YOU FOR POSTING! TAKES ME BACK! I WAS SEVEN WHEN THIS BROADCAST! I'M 50 NOW & I STILL BALL MY EYES OUT AT THE END! ❤✌️🤓
This brings back all the memories
I still have flashbacks decades later of 51:50 moments of the animals being scared and celebrating and then getting frozen.
Thank-you
I've watched this video probably hundreds of times! Fav childhood movie
Thank You!!
I remember watching this as a kid when I was around six.... Still love it today and I'm 42.
Amazing movie ❤
RAVENCLAW, GRIFFINDORE,HUFFLEPUFF, Slitheryn…It’s a theory but I believe it. 😂
