Earlier less well known adaptation of the C.S. Lewis book made for tv. This is faithful to the book but is badly hampered by primitive animation and an exceedingly simplistic rendering of the story

Before the films, this was an earlier BBC tv mini-series version of the C.S. Lewis book, one of a series of four adaptations. This is faithful to the story but suffers from impoverished effects

The second of the BBC's tv adaptations of C.S. Lewis's Narnia books, the slightest of the works where the story is reduced to two half-hour episode

This was the third of the four BBC tv adaptations of C.S. Lewis's Narnia books. The tv versions treats the books with quite reasonable faithfulness but suffer from extremely cheap looking effects

This was the fourth and final, as well as the best of the BBC's tv adaptations of C.S. Lewis's Narnia books, which works well enough despite the impoverished production values

The film adaptation of C.S. Lewis's book sought to appeal to audiences for the Lord of the Rings films but between Lewis's heavy-handed Christian allegories and Andrew Adamson's inexperience as a director fails to fly

The second of the Narnia films. Director Andrew Adamson seems so intent on copying Peter Jackson that the film becomes all epic fantasy flourishes and battle scenes to the exclusion of all else - even much of C.S. Lewis's book

Another lacklustre entry in the banal Lord of the Rings Lite franchise from C.S. Lewis's books, a plodding run of the mill fantasy adventure for the most part. The mediocre reception killed off interest in the series
