Features: DVD, Remastered
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.
"A thoroughly marvelous telling. A voyage well worth taking." Los Angeles Times
"The Narnia stories have been told in many ways, but here they benefit from first-rate performances and substantial productions." The New York Times
Editor's Note
These touching tales from C.S. Lewis have been brought to the screen on numerous occasions, but these BBC productions from the 1980s are among the most faithful adaptations of the great author's works. THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE follows four siblings--Peter (Richard Dempsey), Susan (Sophie Cook), Edmund (Jonathan R. Scott), and Lucy (Sophie Wilcox)--who discover the enchanted land of Narnia during a game of hide-and-seek. PRINCE CASPIAN & THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER finds the young friends journeying back to Narnia a few years after their first trip, where they aid Prince Caspian (Jean Marc Perret) in defeating his uncle Miraz. This installment also sees Edmund, Lucy, and their cousin Eustace (David Thwaites) heading off on an epic voyage aboard Caspian's ship, the Dawn Treader. Finally, THE SILVER CHAIR centers on Eustace, who is sent to Narnia with a friend, and asked to locate the whereabouts of Caspian's son, Rilian (Richard Henders).
