We had to watch those BBC adaptations during "Library Hour" in elementary school. All I remember is some corny effects (did they use animation?) and everyone laughing because Lucy was buck-toothed which annoyed me at the time as I had iffy teeth and was in the process of having braces :P It is odd they didn't do more--I guess Magician's Nephew and Horse and his Boy are less focused on the key family of Wardrobe (though Peter, I think has a cameo in Horse) but it would have made sense to do the Last Battle--maybe it was budget.
Anyone remember the TV animated version of Lion? I thought it was from the 80s, that's when we taped it, but apparently it was 1979 and directed by Bill Melendez--most famous for dozens of Peanuts cartoons. My sister and I LOVED it as *small* kids, but looking on youtube--despite it winning an emmy--it's pretty odd.

Will the new film have any actual production connections to the previous ones? Is it Walden Media the semi-Christian group co-producing it again? Will it share the one actor Ibelieve the books do?
Best, you may have been too old by 12, relative to what else you were reading. We were read them growing up between ages 6-8 or so I guess and they were perfect for that, but I remember going back as a late teen to them and not being able to make it through.
