I don't like those old version movies. The animations were terrible and they were way off the books original story line.

@Brendio3768  The old versions are closer to the stories than the new ones. These old ones are at time word for word from the book whereas the new ones created their own subpolts and rearrange the story however they wish. Also the animations were stated of the art at the time, the special effectf os today will no doubt be described as 'terrible' by the next generation.

Thumbs up if you agree this version is better than the 2005 version. I certainly think so.

Barbara Kellerman is the definitive White Witch. She and Tilda Swinton are brilliant, although I feel as though Barbara's portrayal is more faithful to the novel.

I don't go much on Barbara Kellerman's portrayal these days. As a kid, the series was superb and Kellerman's witch was terrifying. Now, Kellerman's portrayal just seems overplayed, the rage outbursts seem comical and the straight-and-narrow following of the book just felt forced. It's easy to criticise the Walden Media production for its deviations from the original source material, but watching both makes you realise why they did, and TBH I prefer Swinton's more "seductive" Witch.

Is The White Witch and The Green Lady the one and the same?

[AngelsGateband]

@echelonslostangel there brilliant! i grew up watching them. the speicial effects make it brilliant!

[alfienoaks]

Barbara is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful here. That hair!!!!!!!

[surfer53]

I know the new series has modern effects and a higher budget...but kids aren't stupid enough to thing the new one is better, are they?

[Ilovecats112233]

I'll ... be ... your ... long-haired lover from Liverpool, and I'll do anything you say, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-­la ...

[SmellyCatSally]

Thanks heaps for this!! Barbara is actually really pretty and looks heaps young--as the White Witch she looks about 50 but without all the makeup you can see she's just a natural beauty.

@Brendio3768 Is that because you saw the recent version first? I usually prefer whichever movie I've seen first, and because I grew up with this movie, I think it's awesome. If I'd come across it NOW, I'd probably think it was shit.
