The Chronicles of Narnia

Fans of Disney’s big budget extravaganzas based on the popular C.S. Lewis stories may have a bit of trouble adjusting to his much humbler version of the story of four children who discover the doorway to a magic world at the back of an old wardrobe. But what the BBC version lacks in special effects it makes up for with better acting, better overall storytelling and a better attitude towards its audience. Instead of trying to wow watchers with fancy effects and CGI -- not to mention hiring famous movie stars to provide the voices – this series encourages people to use their minds and their imaginations.
