Well before the 2005 live-action movie (reviewed here), a cartoon version of C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was produced in 1979. It follows the book (reviewed here) very closely, with many lines of dialogue taken directly from it. There are minor variations, of course- the kids receive their gifts from Aslan rather than Father Christmas, for example- but overall it remains true to the original. The animation wasn't the best quality, the representation of characters seemed a touch cheesy, and everyone had American accents instead of British, but this isn't a bad way to spend 90 minutes.
Rating: B+
