BBC Chronicles of Narnia: SC - Chapter 6/6 Part 3/3

[ShutterBugDalia]

What a lame excuse of a movie!!! The newer ones are WAY better!!! WAY!

[GeekEnglish]

@ShutterBugDalia Yeah with 20 years of technology advancement ofcourse they would look better

[hglundahl]

What about - since three books are lacking from BBC version - making a card board theatre version (or several) on youtube?

(3*w, dot)readbookonline(dot)net(sla­sh)readOnLine/20710/

[hglundahl]

And why not write Douglas Gresham (stepson and literary inheritor of C S Lewis) and ask how he likes it?

A few people for story-teller and characters, card board figures moving along with story, one video per chapter in the books ... I think it would be likebale. And it may not count as a film version. I cannot guarantee that, though.

[LaPetiteNia]

Thank you so much for uploading these. The new movies may look better, but these truly capture the spirit of the books. I was so happy to get to watch them after such a long time!

[Mmichaalek]

Hey, thank you very much for sharing all these BBC's Narnia videos. I watched these series as a little kid and I think it's one of my earliest memories of my childhood. Now I watched them again - almost after twenty years. This Narnia reminds me of that beautiful and pure age.

[MaraStarFar]

AHHH!!! I remember watching this when I was little. And now listening to the music at the end has actually made me cry. :' )

[TheMoonPower]

4:38 Phahahahahahahahahbadeditingba­dediting.

[zendolian]

Aslan says that same speech at the end of the new Voyage of the dawn treader. Tey must have moved it. What is Aslans other name anyways?

[LassiPolo]

@zendolian Well I remember read that someone sent a letter about it to Lewis, and here is his answering: "Who came at the same time as Santa?Who is called the son of "Great King"? Who died because of humans bad acting and became back livings? Who was called a Lamb and lion?" I may have forgotten some parts of the letter but the point is clear and I think anyone can quess who Lewis meant with that all, because there is just one person to fit if you ask me. I found letter with Google.

[jhibbitt1]

they start apologising to aslan, id have been like "why the hell did you make me do all that via blackmail of not going home, who do you think you are?! and you clearly knew where rillian was all along, why did you send me?! then he'd eat me and id regret saying it haha

[ControlUreFeelings]

LOL WHO IS THAT FAT BLONDE DOUCH IN TEH BEGGINING? AND AT 0:26 LONG EPIC *SIGH*?

[Icedrake99]

Lol, the lion isn't epic enough.

[3ISAMAGICNUMBR]

How is nobody making fun of this shit!?!?

[MistakenGlance]

@3ISAMAGICNUMBR duh..

[FountainOfGardens]

Most delighted&most grateful [beyond words] for this having been on YouTube. Haven't yet read the 7 novels, but have put together what's in them based on the elaborate essays I've seen online [at various sites from friend&foe of Narnia alike] criticizing the movies that have been made, mentioning this or that part where the script writer departed from the book, from wikipedia, & by other means. I'll have the money for the books &/or to pay off my public library fine one of these days. roflol

[FountainOfGardens]

One of these days, if the current billionaire that's pledged 2make all 7 Narnia books fails 2do so, then when the time is right, I'll have 2C 2the making of all 7 stories into movies, though I'll want blood of any screen writer that tries 2deviate from the book. I don't care if C.S. Lewis used Bacchus as a type of Holy Spirit in 1 of the novels&had Aslan dancing w/that Greco-Roman god. Whole thing if they're sneaking into 3+hrs. Any deleted scenes canB DVD bonuses if it's just ridiculously long!

[FountainOfGardens]

Took me 4 days & nights straight of buffering these 18 videos over my dial-up connection with allowing this computer to do perdy much nothing else, with buffering the videos one or two at a time in order to be able to see this movie online. Was well worth it, since I'm not 100% sure if the BBC makes this video available [for sale] in the US & have zero idea when I could buy it if they did. A real reminder of why I loved Tom Baker's acting in Doctor Who when they showed it in my area in the 80s.

[sparklingstone15]

that's the biggest thorn I've ever seen!

[FountainOfGardens]

@sparklingstone15 That wasn't a thorn, that was a STAKE! lol

[AnonymousDiv0]

CS Lewis' preachiness really is over the top.

[kingTethra]

They did end it pretty well here, I know it was'nt the last book. I reckon the 'Last Battle' might have been a bit too dark for Family tea on a Sunday.

[Yozzo]

I wish they would've made the whole book into series. And rather a new BBC version of the series than the movies...

[ciurala]

They ruin the you-must-know-me-by-my-other-n­ame-scene. In the book (by the way it was VDT not SC) Aslan uttered this words after he turned into a lamb. Special effects are of course laughable but there's so much much more to Chronicles than battle scenes and variety of visual effects. In my opinion the bbc version managed to capture more of this "thing" than disney version.

[MrDaratum]

4:53 I always here this song play whenever I finish The Last Battle.

[MrDaratum]

2:29 .... hmmm ... foreshadowing ... lol, shadow ... shadowlands. 2:50 JESUS CHRIST!

[bellaxedward132]

Wait sorry was that a roar at the beginning or a burp? lol

[Galutron]

They shoulsd make all the chronicles of narnia into movies.

[RollOnToVictory]

you WILL obey the giant TY Beanie Baby God Lion!!!!!

[meh5meh]

that was one giant thorn from that tiny bush

[autumnappleor]

if u know aslan, u know jesus. amen. Lewis had done a great job, bringing jesus to life through the lion in a clear and simple way . That is how I know God a lttle better, I guess, through the series.

[kilerngbayan247]

lol i read the voyage of the dawn threader and the silver chair and aslan didnt say ''i am in your world but i have a different name'' he said that in the dawn threader...................whe­res puddleglum?

[deadqueen78]

Thank you for sharing these. I've never seen them before. I agree with many of the others that it would have been nice to see the last book made or The Boy and His Horse. I have a feeling they are going to screw up the story of the last book since it looks like they are adding Susan into the movie and she never returns to Narnia after Prince Caspian but I saw her in the trailer.

[83phatman]

"I am there, but I go by another name."  Guess Who? Lewis once answered a fan's letter asking Aslan's other name. He answered, "Who else do you know that was also known as the Son of the Emperor Beyond the Sea, who was also tried and died for another's betrayal, and who also rose from the Dead?"

[DaddyWalrusguy]

That's an awfully big thorn O_O

[paigiefoofoo]

i prefer the andrew admanson version this is garbage overwieght actors and cheesey affects and the makeup on the animals make there mouths move r e a l l y s-l-o-w-l-y this version sucks!!!!

[daughterofthemoon2]

@paigiefoofoo you do realize that this was made in a time that didnt have good special effects? movie magic has evolved oveer the years

[Durant1978]

THE BBC produced only 4 of the 7 books.

They did not do the final book.

However, if you watch the end credits at the end of Silver chair, they show the "boiling cauldron brook" that is mentioned in Aslan's country in the final chapter of book 7

[xILOVESTRAWBERRIESx]

that is retarted!

[drodga]

The BBC made 4 Narnia stories, the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th of seven books CS Lewis wrote in tyhe forties and early fifties. Beautiful and perfect, All I read growing up! Happy days...

[MissAliciaDee]

@drodga I thought the LWW was the first book? Which came first then? :) Oh and P.S What was the 4th one the BBC did, I thought they only did LWW, PCVDT, and the SC? :)

[HeathenMaiden]

@MissAliciaDee LWW was the first book published, but I suppose Magician's Nephew would be the first book chronologically. BBC did four of the books but they merged Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader into one, hence only three films/series.

[autumnappleor]

@MissAliciaDee

1st-the magician's nephew

2nd - The lion, the witch & the wardrobe

3rd - The horse and his boy

4th - Prince Caspian

5th - The Voyage of the dawntreader

6th - the silver chair

7th/last - the last battle (won an award)

there u go, the chronicles of narnia

[andvas1994]

i hope the last book The Last Battle is being made in to film. after The Silver Chair in 2011. since all the kids returns to Narnia. and see Narnia bee destroyed.

and find out that it whas never Narnia. but the sad part is that you learn that Pevensie children are actualy dead. they died in a trane crash. so they are in Aslan's contry. wich is the real Narnia. ad all the caracters wee love are there. The Last Battle is the final book. out of the 7. i hope they maske it...:-/

[mrskinoti]

Thank you for sharing all your Narnia movies! I enjoyed them! Bless you!

[katie123222]

I love this movie soo much!!!!Check out my vids pplz!!!!

[easygoingb]

holy shat i remember these form when i was a kyd!

[liberatication]

that's quite the green screen there ;)

[bratzkid2001]

i miss luce

[enviroman12380]

Thanks!! I just saved all of these into a playlist so I can find them again soon. These are wonderful, I remember them all from childhood. When I now read the stories to my daughter, these are the characters that play in my mind, not the over computerized disney imitations.

[MADuranDude777]

they can do this to us. i want to see another one! what happens after. they tell us eustace is going back but they show us when he does. this is really mean.

[petercharleskrug]

3:48 Funny how none of the bullies notice anything strange about the wall blowing up.

[ivkoacount]

well aslan said in the book that hes known in the human world but by another name.

C.s lewis must have gave teh hint that hes the jezus christ in our world. Why else would lewis put that in his book.

[aapolona95]

I like the book and the movies. this aslan here reminds me on a stuffed toy :P

[assassinboy11]

that is a lie, Jesus loves all of his children and is a God of second chances he would have shown Edmund compassion if Edmund existed and actually did that, and if you truly knew Christ then you would not say that Aslan is nobler than Jesus (comment to Sleipnirr)

[KanaraMac]

@assassinboy11 the narnia books are actually often stories taken from the bible and reworded into a different way

[pleeppleep]

@assassinboy11

umm....

i wouldn't really know since i'm jewish, but isnt aslan supposed to be jesus in lion form?

[FountainOfGardens]

@pleeppleep A regular ol' J4JC, I can tell, eh?

[pleeppleep]

@FountainOfGardens

what? sorry if im being stupid, but i have no idea what that means.

[amm019]

@assassinboy11 Well said partner, well said. May the Lord bless you today and forever!!

[twooffour]

@assassinboy11

He is because he doesn't threaten anyone with burning in hell.

Although I still can't wrap my head around the "deep magic" bit - who's written those cruel laws, uh, "in stone", and why is the White Bitch mentioned in it when she simply got inside Narnia by accident (and Aslan didn't do jack shit because some "stoner" wrote that they had to wait for 4 kids to arrive? And Narnia time conveniently stretched itself into a long period of suffering for the time being... yea.

[mjjbrat1982]

great job for uploading this series,i havent seen this since i was a kid when it came out.Man has the time flown.I wished they had more movies like this now a days unlike what they have now which alot of it is crap,good upload! :-)

[Xjonas335X]

Holy crap! Aslan sounds a bit like the G-Man!

[C2209w]

What is Aslan's name in the real world???

[selfunderstared]

@ C2209w It's Jesus.

[Sleipnirrr]

You do realize if Aslan's "real world name" had been Jesus, then Edmund (the betrayer) would have been left to rot like Judas and not saved.

You might try and elevate Jesus to Aslan, but the character portrayed in Aslan is far nobler than the main character of the Christian gospels. One might actually wish Aslan existed.

[selfunderstared]

Sleipnirr, Lewis stated that Aslan was idea of what it might be like if Jesus had existed in a world like Narnia.

I'm not a Christian myself, just answering for those who aren't familiar with the series/how to google things.

[gtw1983]

Well Judas really didn't even give God's redemption a chance,considering that he just committed suicide and went to hell.

It was in Gods plan for Jesus to be betrayed,but Judas alone is responsible for killing himself.

If Edmund had done something so rash he would have suffered the exact same fate as Judas.

[eustacefan]

@gtw1983 agreed and besides edmund wasnt technically judas

[amm019]

@C2209w

Jesus

[dtaeys]

Hey guys is this the final chapter? does it continue.?

I was back in Greece then and it showed only till this one...if there anything more please let me know.!

[assassinboy11]

I am afraid that they only made the 2, 4, 5, and 6th

[andr7450]

this is one of my fav scenes in the whole series!

[Redking1982]

It would've been a nice touch if Eustace had stabbed at least one classmate. Show the rest of them what time it is.

[Redking1982]

Heh, Eustace holds the thorn like it's his cock.

[CULAVE]

I loved this series. One of my best childhood memories;

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

The ending when they say "Goodbye Aslan!" always makes me cry.

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

Eustace is so cute <33.

I somehow always like the guys noone likes... like Neville Longbottom and Eustace.

[thetasigma2]

Man watching the end credits reminds me of when I used to watch this in the winter months. Very cool music and a very cool series.

The BBC should really consider remaking all the novels into a series.

[mosstick]

is this prince caspein?? i mean the one from BBC.

[rockerdax]

I still don't understand why they didn't make The Horse and His Boy. or The Magicians Nephew. and The Last Battle. If you do know why PLEASE reply back and tell me.

[happylmc]

they lost funding

[rockerdax]

How did they lose mony?! That show was so successful, how could they possibly lose funding?! plz reply back again.

[Redking1982]

They blew all their money on special effects.

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

I know. I would have wanted to see the Magicican's Nephew. It was my favourite.

[rockerdax]

Ya, Magicians Nephew was one of my favorites.

[turek9393]

Eustace is fatt :/

[maceain]

and the point is?

[Wadsy591]

The point is he wasn't like that on the books.

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

So? Who cares?

[VaveAma92]

The music at the end brings me back to when I was a little kid. It's very magical.

[fluxy2535]

I always remember thinking he was burping when he breathes on Jill and Eustace to bring them to Aslan's Country.

[nic889900]

i dident know aslan could fly lol

[littletifft27]

they say a frew lines frm vtd right when aslan tell him that hes is in our world 2 that was said 2 ed <3 and lucy when they r at aslans country

[shedininja001]

i know for sure they did the last books as well i recall seeing them O_O!

[HeathenMaiden]

Then you must have seen something else because BBC did not do the last books. ;)

[MissAliciaDee]

@shedininja001 The BBC didn't do any others apart from the 3 uploaded here :)

[ddbd]

All praise be upon HeathenMaiden.

[HeathenMaiden]

Aww thank you! :D

[ddbd]

...no...we all thank you.

[learning2breathe2]

I wish they made the last battle

[E5D7S]

Thank you.

bbc Caspian is much better than the new one. I'm not talking about the appearance but in general. However, at the end of this version Caspian should be a young man as Eustace saw him (I agree with jochannel).

[miniroll32]

Y'know if Aslan talked a bit faster this series could have been over in like 5 minutes lol but not half the fun :/

[learning2breathe2]

LMAO!

[jochannel]

So is the thing with the thorn a metaphor for being born again (If Aslan is meant to be symbolic of Jesus)?

And also though, Eustace never saw Caspian as a boy, he only knew him as a young man (the boy Caspian wasn't on the Dawn Treader). Is that right?

[ddbd]

alsns kingdom is the kingdom of god-heaven, and caspian died and went to heaven, that why wen the other boy and girl asked if they cud stay in aslan kingdom - aslan said yes but not yet, the next time you come here you will come to stay...meaning next time u come here is when uve died, and aslan name in the human world is jesus...halleluha.

[drummerlead]

I wonder...if you will pardon me for getting deep. I wonder if the story of Aslan parallels the story of Christ rising from the dead and bringing us eternal life. Narnia must really be like an analogy of the afterlife. Just a thought.

[Lin1092]

Yes...whenever I've read the books (and that's been quite a few times- i love them so!) I've always pictured the stories as analogies for something much deeper :)

[Hypomone]

Yes, you are absolutly right; C.S. Lewis wrote the chronicles of Narnia as a symbol of spiritual life and clearly Alsan means Christ. Blessings, f.j.

[Ilovecake2]

Asland is an alagory for Jesus

[drodga]

You're sharp! C.S. Lewis, the author, was famously a devout Christian and besides the obvious analogy of the Chronicles of Narnia, wrote a number of books about God and the Christian walk.

I read ages ago that the Narnia books were an attempt to make the Christian message more accessible to younger people who'd read his fiction as I did many years ago.

'The Last Battle' has an end of world theme and even an Antichrist figure who mirrors Aslan but is a fraud. (Tashlan)

[JD573]

would u believe that lewis had no idea he was putting christian messages into his books? well at least he didnt intend to at first

[kevthedrummer]

he said he didn't intend to with the original one he wrote - (LWW) - But it ended up developping that way. The others were more intentional.

[REDROBINS007]

oh he knew he was a christian and this was a good way to help people understand christian faith. Dying for peoples sins etc aslans country/heavan its all there black and white

[xWinchestergirlsx]

oh wow.

WOW.

loving narnia. lol OMB FREE DVD IN TOMORROWS MAIL!

now we can all enjoy the adventures of narnia.

;)

[nikkaorca]

ok...Aslan in this verison is really scaring me... The Aslan in the newer verison is more, in my opinion, like the way C.S Lewis imagined Aslan.

[ZeldaQueen64]

I like the Liam Neeson Aslan better too. His voice seemed stronger and smoother. Calming but fearsome at the same time.

[Quetzacoatl2]

its over :'(

[happylmc]

I love the theme song for this version.  It is far better than the new movies. I also like Aslan's voice better, it is more like a lion's voice should be.

[desireeTX]

omfg omfg omfg...

lmao xDDDD

[CBCBBCBCB]

OMG Susan's big suit SCARES me so badly!

[CBCBBCBCB]

Oops I meant Jill! LOL

[Jesusfreak45731]

aslan seriously creeps me out,,,,,,,and his voice isnt very deep or regal....

[cmanisback021]

the acting is fine and all... its just.... bad effects and editing lol but its okay for its timeline lol

[LilBabyPanda]

Thanks for that! lol. Yeah... I watched all of the silver chair videos! Blimmie that took a long time.. I think it was defentily more than 2hours!

[nemo3009]

This is so fricken gay O.O

[HoneyKristin]

Made me cry, the way C.S.Lewis so explains the real message! He didn't coward out in ANY way, shape or form! And I think he's led many people to recognize Jesus, and further to believe. :)

[jernjane]

A fantasy story has led people to believe? Well, ok, I suppose there's nothing new there so I don't know what point I was going to make...

[HoneyKristin]

You'll see... You know the name to call - and it ain't Aslan.

Peace :)

[noodle3681]

Chuck Norris?

[CassyCalv]

I love these verisons of the movie thanks so much for uploading. Sometimes it makes me wich they used the Narina song in the newer ones just to bring back a little bit of the charm form my child hood

[RtsZombie]

ASLAN is god in their world =D

[claypittman]

that thorn is HUGE

[Kernzi]

Thanks for uploading, the nostalgia is gettin the better of me.

[JackNastyLovesMe]

I always loved the moment in the books where Caspian rose up out of the river, heck it even made me cry. This kind of killed it for me. Not sure why, but I don't like these versions that much, they creep me out for some reason. I think it's Aslan's voice. *shudders* :|

[EphesianShade]

:O holy crap Aslan blew up a wall.

[MidlandNinja]

This version is legendary.

The girl (Camilla Power) went on to be a teacher in Waterloo Road!

[BarbieLova]

ive never seen this version ever before!

[tyler56473]

the lion is so like...freakin fake lol

[annap28]

I love the music!

[Kroenen117]

you must know my name in your world (aka) jesus or god Tell me I am wrong..

[HeathenMaiden]

Lewis did not write Narnia as a Christian story

[MariAnKenobi]

Actually, he did. Mostly LWW, but the others reflect his deep theology.

[HeathenMaiden]

Quote from Lewis on whether he set out to write a Christian story or not:

"...this is all pure moonshine. I couldn't write in that way. It all began with images; a faun carrying an umbrella, a queen on a sledge, a magnificent lion. At first there wasn't anything Christian about them; that element pushed itself in of its own accord."

An allegorical Christian tale was never his intention. Narnia, if anything, is more influenced by Pagan mythology. Lewis was extremely interested in those.

[MariAnKenobi]

I didn't say he intended to write a Christian story. I'm saying that he did write a Christian story. And later he carried the elements of Christianity through the other stories. Your own quotation proves me right. Lewis' love for mythology did not exclude with the 'true myth' of Christianity. And Lewis himself said that, while LLW is not Allegorical, it does have Christian Parallels. He said he used his stories to bypass sleeping dragons...even modern day critics recognize the Christian element.

[Crsnglb]

To HeathenMaiden: he is a Christian writer and said the element naturally pushed itself in; Narnia naturally formed with Christian themes; "Lewis, himself an expert on allegory, did not consider The Chronicles of Narnia allegory. He saw them as "suppositional" answering the question, "What might Christ become like, if there really were a world like Narnia and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?' This is not allegory at all."

[SkanRashke]

Yes, thank you for uploading! Definately my favourite novel and television series of all time :3 Wonderful music and costumes all around. I wish they'd made the other three books- but hopefully Walden and Disney will :3

[CountOrsino]

Thanks so much for uploading.

This book was probably my second favorite, after The Horse and his Boy. It would have been cool if they'd made a film of that one.

[kimhari1]

I agree, The horse and his boy is my favorite one aswell :)

[112457]

The End ...

[GeneralAmeli0]

"Yes, he has died. Most people have, you know."

Lol that's true.

Love this ending, by the way =)

[animalsXhaveXrights]

THIS SUCKS!

[DuchessAliana]

I love the ending... Thanks for posting.

[Jakegothicsnake]

i wished they made they 3 give the bullies a good thrashing....

[annathegentle]

Sadly, they stopped in Silver Chair. It would've been great if they did the Last Battle! X] Lol, it was funny when those nasty bullies ran away! Good for them. Thanks for sharing! :]

[chidop]

thanks for putting all the movies of narnia, they are so great. It´s bad that BBC didn´t make all the movies.

But i enjoyed them

thanks again

[HeathenMaiden]

You're welcome :D I'm just glad to be helping out :)

[Drifter0001]

The music is very heart warming.

[VirqzIbfazqr]

I couldn't stop crying when Aslan said that the next time they came to his world they were to stay there, but when Aslan appeared in the very last clip I just burst into tears T_T I know it wasn't a sad ending it's only that I can't stop crying... I wish BBC got all Narnia novels filmed

Thanks a lot for The Silver Chair and all other BBC Narnia, it was wonderful to see it again even that I cried my heart out

[sabishiisamurai]

It's interesting that people react like that to these things. I've had a few moments like that myself.

There is something in religion/religious allegory which can really get to people. Whether they choose to see that as some kind of "grace" or think it's just a normal human reaction is what seperates religious people from others. I'm currently having that dilemma myself :( .

Anyway, this concludes my watching of the series. Thank you ever so much HeathenMaiden for uploading :) !
