The BBC did Narnia on a shoestring and somehow it still slaps harder than the Disney version.
Four kids travel to the magical land of Narnia where they must battle an evil queen with the direction of the lion, Aslan.
Practical Effects
Aslan is a puppet and he's more expressive than most CGI lions.
Acting
Barbara Kellerman's White Witch serves ice-queen realness on zero dollars.
Production
Stone Table sequence hits harder than it has any right to.
Director
Marilyn Fox
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The beavers were originally planned as actors in costume, but puppet versions tested better with children.
This BBC adaptation was many millennials' first Narnia before the 2005 film, cementing its beloved low-budget legacy.
