I remember growing up with this movie too. But its a different type of nostalgia I would think. I grew up viewing this movie as a satire comedy for the ridiculously bad dialogue amd horrible effects amd godawful acting! It was always good for a laugh XD man I have memories of me and the family just dying of laughter from this movie!
Absolutely delightful! I was born 1988, and grew up watching these, remembering wanting to be like Lucy and find a magic world inside of a magic wardrobe) or really my closet.
That's the power of nostalgia. I love this simply because it reminds me of Christmas when I was about ten years old, the winter time, the fire cracking, the Christmas tree lights and this on the box...such great memories. I only have to hear the title music or the Flute interludes and it puts me right back in 1988.
Even though I wasn't born when this was on, it still brings back happy memories of the days I first saw movies and TV shows like this for the first time.
Wonderful to hear! These were made when I was a child, so I remember when they aired for the very first time, but it's fantastic that people from younger generations love and grew up with them as well. I have likewise many films and TV series I grew up with that were made way before my time, but that are filled with so much nostalgia for me because I loved watching them as a kid.
I completely agree! I am American but had the ultimate pleasure of growing up with these as a teleseries and I first saw it when I was 7 yrs old and have been in love ever since. I own every movie and every book. And NO the new versions have nothing to do with the magic that was created in these shows. Glad I'm not alone. go #teamnarnia
i remember when i was a kid i used to watch this all the time. i have over the years lost the original narnia series so i was very tickled to have the new movies out but they dont compare to the original and the way i remember feeling when i watched this as a child! was my favorite series of all, ever! i could quote ever line perfectly!
I'm Swedish, and I grew up with this show. I loved it then, and I still love it now. And those who like the movies will probably hate my guts, but I prefer this show over the movies, in every way. It's so sweet, charming, and very well made. It's highly theatrical, and I think that adds a great deal of charm to it all.
I was born in 2004, so I grew up with the newer Narnia movies, but my mum grew up with these and had them all on DVD, so I used to watch these all the time too. I never really noticed the age difference, I suppose little kids don’t but they give me much the same feeling. I love the music of both but these older ones do the flute song and the theme song better in my opinion.
Well I would like to mr tumnus but I should be getting back to my family

@Kurea47 the soundtrack to the Disney movie is really good. Have you ever heard? for example the music in the scene of battle. When I hear makes me want to go out and fight for Narnia.
I think this one has more charm and real Narnia feeling than the new one. Neither of them in the least replaces or rivals the book, of course, but really, the new one didn't move me, I just noticed the special effects, whereas this one really had something and I never forgot it. And I was 38 when this came out, not a child.
I love Narnia, period. I grew up reading all of the books of "The Chronicles of Narnia", I loved the cartoon that came out in 1979, I loved this version, and I love the newest ones, too, even though they tend to leave some important things out every now and then. (But that always seems to happen when you try to turn a book into a movie. You can't get every detail in; if you want it all, read the books!) C.S. Lewis was AMAZING, and I'm so thankful for his wonderful stories!! Thanks for posting!
I think Sophie Wilcox (Lucy) and Jeffrey Perry (Tumnus) interact well in this sequence. This series, which I grew up with, has been criticized on grounds of acting, but I've watched these many times over the years, and especially in their first scene together in the wood, I think these two play off of each other and carry off the whimsy nicely.
I have to agree with you. The newer versions are spectacular, as is this version. Both have good qualities, and both have drawbacks. I much prefer the music of the newer versions, but the quaintness of this versions is quite lovely itself. It's hard not to love either versions. But we must all agree, that when we look at it, the books reign supreme.
Both, this and new one, have their own positive and bad sides as well. Nothing is perfect, but there are always special moments, like speaking of nostalgia.
You know, I actually like that they had Lucy and Edmund wear coats when they first enter Narnia, compared to other versions where they come in just wearing regular clothes.
I just secured my own copy of these BBC movies! Sure, they may not be as epic as the Narnia movies of today (I'm already counting the days until "Dawn Treader" comes out), but it's still Narnia all the same, and that's good enough for me.
I wish the BBC would show little gems like this on Christmas Day, instead of the endless repeats, talent shows and woke agitprop masquerading as drama.
I watched this in elementary school, can’t remember what grade, but it was the beavers that scared me the most 😅 i thought that’s what real beavers looked like
I like the sense of urgency they display in the Disney version more. Here, they seem sort of calm that he entertained the idea of giving her up to the white witch.
Lucy grew up to be a very attractive woman indeed. People on here seem to be debating the film version to this TV version. I have seen all the films and did enjoy them, it was good to see it on that scale, however I only ever watched them once, where as this BBC adaptation I return to time and time again... but I'm sure for anyone who was a child in 1988 and watched this around Christmas time, it holds an awful lot of nostalgic feeling, and I think that's why it is so fondly received.
Yes, I've noticed that too. It was more magical propably because it did approach the story and whole world of Narnia more humanly and seriously, without making it feel and look overly fairy tale-ish. It was almost like stepping into new world without any "silly brainwash" and you managed to approach Narnia with your own eyes and understanding, from your own point of view - almost like it was you who was stepping into the another world.
I LOVE This version. OK bad special effects but ten times more magical than the Disney version. No bits were added to this like what was done in the recent movie. Plus the Lucy here is the right age and looks straight out of WW2, her chubbiness and teeth I think add that notion.
Yes, these stories do lend themselves to a dramatic approach as it conveys the particular erm ... "English-ness" and subtlety comes across better. It's not that one couldn't successfully translate this to the big screen, but you'd need the studio to give the director free reign and find someone with a theatrical tradition who also understands the world that Lewis lived in and was injecting into his characters. As if bringing the illustrations of Pauline Baynes from the books to life ...
This version has SO much more feelings in it. I grew up with the BBC series, and i must say they are thousands times better than the silly disney version!
The BBC Series had Men In Suits, and I know that Ray Harryhausen would have appreciated the 2005 movie because the characters of Aslan, Maugrim and The Beavers are more realistic.
I had never seen this version before a couple years ago...I grew up with the 2005 version. I used to think this version was stupid.......but know I love this one as much as the new version:)
For the people who are actually making snide remarks about a little girl's looks, just knock it off and grow up. One of the problems with so many people today is that they put entirely too much importance on a person's looks; if they aren't what you find "attractive", you dismiss them and devalue them. As others have already said, there's something wrong with you if you're checking out kids, anyway, and it IS creepy. And criminal.
I do admit this was my favorite thing to watch when I was a kid in the 90s I watched it so much that I broke the tape (lol tapes) and just hearing the music ah happy place I have it on my Ipod :) but in 2005 when I saw the new version I saw it 3xs in theater since I thought Andrew Adamson did a good job I think he captured the first movie right, but made Caspian too old when we first meet him though was right for the Dawn Treader anywho I couldn't say which one was better since I like them both
In did the acting on the original series, it's far more greater then those of the films. As well as the effort of keep - the most possible - faithul to C.S Lewis writting
Edgar Teles .... are you fucking kidding me? These actors have zero emotion. are you telling me the witch in this one is a better actress than Tilda Swinton? are you trolling?
+ElectrikkPaperClipxx wish technology didn't evolve then we wouldn't have these stupid words and stupid shortened phrases and things like lol and omg and trolling
I think this is a very good version. I mean it was made in the 80s so they did very well. But I'm afraid I am too much of a Walden Media 'lover'. I always found the tumnus and lucy seen adorable in the 2005 film, but I have hard times to like tHIS... or this Lucy... but it's impressive how they managed this film. Good job!
It's amazing to me that people want to diss this version, and in the same breath attack the actress here who plays Lucy because she's "not as attractive" as the actress in the new series. If you're checking out a 13 year old girl (in this series) or, worse, a 10 year old (in the new one), you've told me all I need to know. Creepy. I don't watch these films for eye candy. If you're looking for that in characters who are well underage, just stop and get help.
british english make it so different as the last one its a pleasure to me as french to see that thank to the BBC i discover new writting of the book ^^ and remember me my trip in 2007 in UK
In my opinion, the Lucy in this movie is a better actress than the Lucy in the newer movie. Mr. Tumnus is a bit more funnier also. But, I like the newer version better because Lucy and Mr. Tumnus are better looking and look like their characters more. In fact, all the characters in the newer version are better looking (especially Edmund). The special effects are way more advanced too!
I don't like to judge child actors by their looks like they were adult movie stars. I like this Lucy, she looks like the sort of girl you would have known at school at that age.
Oh, and I find it rather interesting that this Mr. Tumnus here knows how to shake hands properly, while the other one didn't have a clue when Lucy offered her hand.
i can't quite understand why someone would thumb this comment down. and, narnia while wacked out is rather thrilling, especially since i saw it last as a boychild
@marianagmt Well certainly. For example, "To Aslan's Camp" is an outstanding piece from Disney's soundtrack. But I think the BBC soundtrack captures the world of Narnia better. It sends one back to a time of old, where myths and legends come to life. It fills one with warmth and happiness and makes you want to go on an adventure with the Pevensie's. Don't you think so?
I prefer the new version, but I do like this version. It has a special quality to it, just as the new one does as well. They appeal to different people; some see something amazing in this, and others see something in the 2005 version.
hhaa, yeah you're right... that was kinda dumb. "oH my god theres a world inside the Wwardrobe AND OH MY GOD!! THERES LAMPOST IN THE MIDDLE!!!" ahahaha
I rather liked both versions. This one followed the book very closely, while the newer version changed a few things around. Some might view this as a sort of sacrilege, but I found it rather refreshing. This version, and the 1979 cartoon version are the ones I grew up watching, though, and they will always be special in a way that the 2005 version is not. I appreciate all three versions.
I must say, I like this version very much. I'm more used to the one from Walden Media, considering I grew up--and cried--with, but this one is quite charming.
Though I prefer the 2005 version with James McAvoy and Georgie Henley, I have to admit this is quite charming. The young actress who plays Lucy does a remarkable job, and while this version of Mr. Tumnus is nowhere near as attractive as the other Tumnus played by James, I have to admire him for his acting skills. I was especially impressed with the crying scene. Just seeing him cover his face like that and break down makes my heart melt for him.
@EkkaDaWrecka1988 i agree with you both BBC and Disney both did a good job i grew up with this as well I watched this so much i broke the VCR tape...sad day when i was little...but the 2005 version was really good too and the music when lil Georgie saw Narnia for the first time (and she was 8 not 10 at the time now i think she's 15...she's come a long way way to go her!) but the music in this is what i remember especially Aslan's theme in the very beginning got it on my itunes
I love the BBC versions! Only thing is, Lucy looks around 4 years older than I thought she was supposed to be. Georgie Henley is much more convincing for the character.
Can everyone stop with the 2005 Narnia hate. Im sure this version was good back then or is a classic in some way but when you compare the two, the 2005 version comes out on top. I literally got chills when I first saw Lucy enter into Narnia for the first time and stair at the snowy forest with the magical tune in the background, it gave that sense of discovery. I got nothing from this version, sorry to disappoint.
These were so magical to me when I was a kid. This to me is still the real Narnia.
Same here.
I grew up with this version, it will always have nostalgic value for me, personally.
it was a awsome video
I remember growing up with this movie too. But its a different type of nostalgia I would think.
I grew up viewing this movie as a satire comedy for the ridiculously bad dialogue amd horrible effects amd godawful acting! It was always good for a laugh XD
man I have memories of me and the family just dying of laughter from this movie!
@@Minnesota_Central Have you seen the 2005 motion picture? I highly recommend it because its more realistic.
@@dtaylor4552 awww i love that movie!
Please watch library assistant becomes savior for dog on UA-cam
Absolutely delightful! I was born 1988, and grew up watching these, remembering wanting to be like Lucy and find a magic world inside of a magic wardrobe) or really my closet.
Wow so I think by the time I was little this show was maybe about a year old
It sounded so brilliant of how Tumnus the Faun told Lucy she was in Narnia. It's mysterious and frightening as well as wonderful and magical.
I grew up with these versions and not the 2005 one this one will always be a classic to me! (:
It will also be a classic to me as well
To me as well...
the music in this is absolutely brilliant.
That's the power of nostalgia. I love this simply because it reminds me of Christmas when I was about ten years old, the winter time, the fire cracking, the Christmas tree lights and this on the box...such great memories. I only have to hear the title music or the Flute interludes and it puts me right back in 1988.
The music is so magical. By the way, the description of your childhood memory is magical, too.
This version is magical, the music, the acting, everything.
Yes, it is ❤
Beautiful! I remember watching this when I was 7 years old! Brings back old memories.
I love both versions of LWW. Both versions are brilliant in their own ways.
Even though I wasn't born when this was on, it still brings back happy memories of the days I first saw movies and TV shows like this for the first time.

I agree
Thanks for replying.
Takes you back. The music is captivating
Wow..what a blast from the past.. used to love this as a child
"Spare 'oom" That makes me laugh every time. God I'm a nerd.
I agree completely. That was my favorite part in the whole movie. I searched for this on dvd for years and I finally found it at wal mart. So happy
I completely agree! I am American but had the ultimate pleasure of growing up with these as a teleseries and I first saw it when I was 7 yrs old and have been in love ever since.

mind blown. never thought Mr. Tumnus's dad in this one wears a business suit. properly own a nice business operation during his times :D
@HeathenMaiden The opening/end credits are pure greatness. The music and the maps are just wonderful.
i remember when i was a kid i used to watch this all the time. i have over the years lost the original narnia series so i was very tickled to have the new movies out but they dont compare to the original and the way i remember feeling when i watched this as a child! was my favorite series of all, ever! i could quote ever line perfectly!

Me too

I watched this in grade 6 English class, certainly brings back a lot of memories!
this version sure does bring back memories. The first time I saw this I was in fourth grade I think!!
lucy's overbite is really distracting
I love how that flying horse is drawn and cut into the film =D Pure nostalgia!
lovely,magical

@@dandan7710 When I saw the 2005 film I always thought that James McAvoy played a believable Mr Tumnus.
Mr. Tumnus is a cutie faun! Narnia is one of my favorite films! Edmund is my favorite character.
Thank you for posting this series, sooo many nostalgic memories :)
Thank you for uploading this video, it means so much to me as it does others.
I love the new movies so much! I don't think i can get myself like these as much as the others

You know, I actually like that they had Lucy and Edmund wear coats when they first enter Narnia, compared to other versions where they come in just wearing regular clothes.
It is described in the book
In the book when Edmund and Lucy first got in the didn't wear coats but in this version they do because the snow was actually very cold to film in.
The snow scenes were filmed in Aviemore, Scotland
I just secured my own copy of these BBC movies! Sure, they may not be as epic as the Narnia movies of today (I'm already counting the days until "Dawn Treader" comes out), but it's still Narnia all the same, and that's good enough for me.
Best version
06:27 They should have included this musical section in the soundtrack!
Now this melody certainly did want to make me want to laugh and cry and dance and sleep all at the same time. Disney version...not so much.
I wish the BBC would show little gems like this on Christmas Day, instead of the endless repeats, talent shows and woke agitprop masquerading as drama.
omg i remember watching this in 3rd grade. . . i was scared of the fawn so much, but i love this movie so much
I watched this in elementary school, can’t remember what grade, but it was the beavers that scared me the most 😅 i thought that’s what real beavers looked like

I like the sense of urgency they display in the Disney version more. Here, they seem sort of calm that he entertained the idea of giving her up to the white witch.

I LOVED that part when I grew up watching this. I had a mix of excitement and disappointment with the new one, but I'll ALWAYS love this one :`)

Sunday, November 13-December 18, 1988

@EkkaDaWrecka1988 i agree with you both BBC and Disney both did a good job i grew up with this as well I watched this so much i broke the VCR tape...sad day when i was little...but the 2005 version was really good too and the music when lil Georgie saw Narnia for the first time (and she was 8 not 10 at the time now i think she's 15...she's come a long way way to go her!) but the music in this is what i remember especially Aslan's theme in the very beginning got it on my itunes
I love the BBC versions! Only thing is, Lucy looks around 4 years older than I thought she was supposed to be. Georgie Henley is much more convincing for the character.
WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT TO KNOW THIS? Its 20 seconds of a five year old playing playing a recorder!
Can everyone stop with the 2005 Narnia hate. Im sure this version was good back then or is a classic in some way but when you compare the two, the 2005 version comes out on top. I literally got chills when I first saw Lucy enter into Narnia for the first time and stair at the snowy forest with the magical tune in the background, it gave that sense of discovery. I got nothing from this version, sorry to disappoint.

Does anyone know what key the double flute is in?
Yes they do.
