The BBC Version, not the Disney Version
This is a BBC production of some of CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia (The Magician's Nephew, The Horse and His Boy and The Last Battle are absent). I don't mind that The Last Battle is absent - I really think of all of the Narnia books, that is the weakest. These are live action, there is a little violence (defeat of the White Witch, for instance), but it is mild violence.
I preferred reading these books (minus The Last Battle) to my child, but this is another way to get the story across. Not nearly as realistic as the Disney version of the movies that have been released over the past several years.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (TV Movie, 1988) review-Iwilder reviews
This film debuted as a television series in 1988 and was later put together into a full-legnth film, which debuted on BBC, along with the series. Arguably, this is one of the stupidest, least thought-out movies l have ever seen. It's an OK film, but it is very VERY hard to follow for younger viewers. However, I did laugh throughout the entire film; it was SO stupid, it was hilarious. My brothers busted out laughing every time they saw Lucy's face, smiling or crying. I'll have to admit, it is very funny, as well as the 6-foot beavers. And what happened to the all-out battle at the end? I don't think roaring the queen off a cliff counts, it's just stupid. I recommend this to anyone with a taste in cheesy movies.

there are some scenes that are to violent for young viewers. most of them are between the white witch and the kids but other than that it is a good movie that i still love.

If i lived in 1988....awful special effects
This, if it were more real, would be rated PG. However, everything looks fake and in battle scenes you can hardly tell people are fighting. There are no, but if it was made good there would be, intnse action. I think this would be appropriate yet very hard to understand for a 4 year old. The unicorns and other animals are either people in a bad costume or a cartoon animated creature. (For example beavers look like bears, since there people in costumes).
BOTTOM LINE: appropriate for 4 and up with terrible special effects. Watch the new one in cenima's now.
