And they've been in a basement or garage for lots of years now, so I have no idea if they still work. I hope so, though.

I haven't seen the new Dawn Treader yet, so I can't speak to that. (Did they REALLY make the mist of the Island Where Dreams Come True into some kind of Big Bad? O.o) I DID really like the new LWW, but was not overwhelmingly impressed by Prince Caspian. There are times when I can't even remember if I've seen it or not, so there you go. The old one just left a much greater impression on me.

And yeah, Peter in the Wonderworks version is completely awesome. It's too bad he only got to be in two of them.

I'm worried about The Silver Chair. I think it's my favorite apart from LWW of the old movies, and I just don't know how on earth it could be possible to best Tom Baker as Puddleglum. I mean, really. Tom frelling Baker. o.o

... Anyway, yeah! I'm not even as big a Narnia fan as I am of other things (LotR is where my true diehard geekery appears; the movies make me want to strangle things because they COULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT if PJ hadn't been all STUPID and CHANGED things), but some things, like story over effects, bear speaking out. In the case of BBC Narnia, the key is to treat it like a stage play. Do that, and you'll find it is made of win, I think.

For your listening pleasure.
