Editorial Review:
The Chronicles of Narnia, a seven-volume, Bible-based children's fantasy series written in the 1950s by British theologian C.S. Lewis, draws young readers into the magical, dangerous land of Narnia and plunges them into the age-old battle of good and evil. Lewis envisioned these stories as pictures before he wrote them, so it seems only proper that the books would eventually make it to the small screen. In the late 1980s and early '90s, three adventures in this series--The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (169 minutes), Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader (168 minutes), and The Silver Chair (168 minutes)--were faithfully adapted into a TV series by the BBC and Home Vision Entertainment, then edited to feature-length productions. All three of these discs (nine hours of viewing!) are included in this boxed set of DVDs, along with interactive trivia games and more.
Youngsters expecting special effects like those found in The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone may miss the subtler charms of these sweet but rather homespun productions, with humans dressed as woodland creatures and patched-in animation. And kids expecting fast-paced action adventures may snooze after a few hours of these relatively slow-moving scripts. But those who want a refresher course in all things Narnia will be thrilled to see these well-loved fantasies come to life in gorgeous snowy landscapes--the good lion Aslan (played by a large, talking stuffed animal), the horrible White Witch (performed with deliciously over-the-top zeal by actress Barbara Kellerman), the four siblings, fauns, dwarves, deadly sea monsters, and all. --Karin Snelson
Fire breathing dragons, sprightly nymphs, talking animals, evil witches, deadly sea monsters, gruesome giants, kings and queens, a group of brave children and a very special wardrobe collide in an epic battle of good versus evil. Welcome to the enchanted world of Narnia, a mystical land sprung from the mind of legendary author C.S. Lewis. Danger and adventure are always close at hand in Narnia, for the future is under constant threat by dark forces. But not for long. Whispers that sail across the land say only one thing -- Aslan, the great lion, is on the move. The BBC and Home Vision Entertainment proudly present all nine hours of this grand series on DVD for the first time.

The DVD's are fine but packaging was severly broken, outer casing torn and DVD cases snapped. DVD's still work but very unhappy with the wat it was packaged and delivered.

Narnia fan? Read the books when you were young, like me? Great! You'll love to see BBC's adaptation of the Chronicles of Narnia.
Graphics are a little rough, but for the time period, innovative. All British Cast, so you get a real authentic feel of C.S. Lewis's dialog's. Today's child audience will probably get bored with these films quite fast, but the young adult or adults that grew up on these films will love them.

Rating: - The REAL Narnia!!
I have always loved this version of Narnia - all the movies on here are great! I am so glad to see this wonderful BBC series out on DVD. I grew up on this version of Narnia, and really got to know all the children.
I think most people already know the story, but this version is much more charming than the recently released movie. It is well worth buying to watch for yourself - especially if you like good acting, sweet children, and real feeling in a film. They're also fun and really suitable ... Read More
