      bill t Crudely animated, but oddly compelling telling of this classic story by CS Lewis. Probably the source material that suckered me in. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Nos encontramos frente a una adaptación inteligente, que afronta con total gallardía unos cuantos errores del libro y hace todo lo que tiene en sus manos para corregirlos, superarlos y llevar a la historia por buen camino. En otras palabras, es una obra que expone bien las virtudes de libro, y al mismo tiempo, intenta corregir sus fallos como puede. Claro, tiene pequeñas falencias, estando estas últimas ligadas a la complicada situación con la que se gestó la película, pero aun así, es un gran proyecto que supera a su material original, y este es un hecho poco común entre las adaptaciones. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review todd a Narratively it's loyal to the original story, but the film suffers from poor animation, bad voice acting and awful pacing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Seen many years later in adulthood, the cartooning seems limited but the story still has its charms especially when Aslan poops flowers on resurrection. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member This is kind of fun, because I like the story of TLTWATW, but this film just isn't very good. The animation is terrible, the acting's poor & the charater's ghair colours keep changing. What's up with that? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie and book.
