The conversation between Puddleglum, Eustace and Jill was probably a better bit of acting than anything in the entire Disney Narnia series so far. That's pretty sad..
Thanks! This is the essence of the books, never mind the special effects. In a stage production they would be considered magnificent. New tech doesn't always produce good films when the authors can only show war to fill the gaps of imagination, or even replace joy and dance with yet another battle. Why should the 4 children have liked to be in Narnia so much if all they ever met there was hunger. fear and battle? Why do filmmakers leave out all the fun and make you buy the special ed. for more?
I agree with Gill for wanting the bow and arrows. If Puddleglum and Ustis have swords, it's only fair and logical she has the bow and arrows so that way everyone has a main weapon. A knife wont help her in a fight if her enemy has a blade that's bigger then hers- an arrow can keep the enemies away from her.
Howcome puddleglum doesnt look like a frog, infact a marsh wiggle, their feet should be webbed aswell as their hands, well this is old and they had shitty ASS props :P
If Jill's in Narnia to deal with her arrogance, as perhaps Lewis's nodding homage to George MacDonald's Phantastes, then Jill's looking like she's going to be in Narnia to the ages of ages! lol
I find the locations in this version to be better than in the Disney movies, more like they're described in the book, less flashy and more mysterious.
Tom Baker was perfect at this role. Im looking forward to the Disney version but I which both the BBC and Disney would cover the other novels (Magician's Nephew, Horse and his Boy and Last Battle too)
a goodquestion. It could be because the studios think those stories would be harder to market... spend a budget on and so on. The Last Battle is quite complex so I can appreciate that being hard to pu on screen but I can envisage The Horse and his Boy.
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 I'd like to see Magician's Nephew done. That would be good. I think the Last Battle is probably seen as too sad but even so I'd like to see them all done for once.
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 No. I would much rather Disney sell the rights and let a company that knows what they're doing make the next Narnia movies. Especially HAHB, my favorite one.
it's meant to be a strange creature in the books that lives in the wet marshes. unfortunately the bbc didn't have the expertise at the time (see the doctor who episodes around that period!) and so it was just a bloke with a big hat!
jut out your jaw so your bottom teeth sit further out then your top teeth, leaving a gap, and let your lips stick up, making a gap about half a centimeter between your lips, then blow, and voila', you too can puff your bangs!
(my mum used to get up me for doing it to sass her when she was telling me off :P)
ok those giants look better than the disney version giants! apart from that disney wins with the more realistic talking animals . but those giants r awesome!
Silver Chair had the best soundtrack of all, it was the first narnia movie I saw and remians the favorite with my brothers and I even now, over a decade later.
Iii... this was the first Narnia movie for me too, and I remembered it the best from all Narnia series :) But I also love The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Barbara as the White Witch is wonderful, the only true White Witch ever ;)
yes! its so true. The movie just wasn't right. Tilda-witch just didn't have the right emphasis "AND WHAT pray tell are YOU?" lol! "NNOOOOOOOO!...noo, you must wait till next time...next time! NEXT TIMEEE!"
My first episode seen too! And, as many other posting comments, I have remembered it best and I will continue to remember it as long as I live, at least I hope so ^^
The giants used to scare me as a kid
