Oh, I still can't get used to "such" Chronicles of Narnia. The only thing that inclines me to watching is that the series stays extremely close to the book.
S. Z. Reepicheep is just hilarious, albeit poor)

The book was transferred to the screen very literally, compared to the 2005 film, which is both bad and good. But to the eye, it's still not very pleasant to look at painted characters or actors dressed in animal costumes, or to see strings simulating flight, etc.

I looked at it in half with grief... What would you like to say in the end:
1. The BBC was very disappointed, somehow very bad... At all... Special effects, even for an 87-year-old, are terrible... Of course, the hand-drawn + costumes looked even worse, it was necessary to decide and choose one thing. And what is the most incomprehensible thing that all animals could not be made like Aslan? He was quite on the level. He looked passable even now.
2. Lucy - this girl is just terrible, ranging from malocclusion to constant tantrums on the screen.
Of the advantages:
1. In general, the acting is very good.
2. In general, a detailed follow-up to the original, although in some moments something is missing and in the end there are no causal relationships and everything looks bad. But in general it is very close to the original.

But I'm a child of the modern world, and that's why I barely looked at it and was unhappy with the time I spent, alas.
