With all the hype starting to build for Disney/Walden’s Rings-tyled take on CS Lewis’ first Chronicle of Narnia, The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, DVD Toons takes a look at the DVD release of Bill Melendez’ 1979 animated television version of the story. “This version of the story is pretty tight, and retains the feel of the original, with any lack of perfection in the animation overcome by the dense structure of the screenplay. Even better is the music, exciting and melancholy at the same time,” says the site. “Though the disc was released almost exactly one year ago, there are still those who do not know it exists, and your best bet for buying a copy is likely through eBay. For nostalgia fans, The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe is a must”.
