Such a strange cartoon
Did anyone else find this movie weird? I just felt that the animation was terrible as were the designs for the characters. Thank God for the 2005 Narnia movie.

shareDid they really draw the kids with Brady Bunch-era clothes like the cover pics show?
shareSadly they did...
shareSo did they at least come up with a plausible-for-the-70s explanation of why the kids were in the Professor's house, or did they leave it unexplained, or were they evacuated from the Blitz wearing presumably the world's first polyester bell-bottoms?
shareI don't think they were actually wearing bell bottoms but the girls' clothing was reminiscent of the late '70s/early-80s, even though the film was set much earlier. Until now, I always thought the film was made in the early 80s (I think it was Cinemax that used to run it all the time in the mid-80s...).

If I remember rightly there is no reference to the children having been evacuated. I don't think it even starts with them arriving at the house.
It begins with Lucy coming out of the wardrobe and the children not believing her about Narnia. Then there's a flashback about how "it had only been one week since we came to visit the professor" and Lucy discovering the wardrobe.
shareOh the CGI religion! Everything else is evil....

It was weird! I discussed it with friends after we all first saw it in 1979. One boy thought they made Aslan look idiotic. A girl absolutely hated how Tumnus was done. Looking at it again, I have to agree with both. I also thought the animation was awful and disliked the American voices.
