The second oldest version of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is an animated film (preceded by a 1967 series, of which only two episodes survive). The adaptation is quite peculiar in that, for example, Aslan gives out the presents and Lucy is blonde. Kids generally don't reflect on the fact that it's the 1940s, but we're in the present in the 1970s. Anyway, Jadis can be terrifying even in these contours, so overall this project can be accepted as a rare part of the Narnia collection. The 1988-1990 series was about something else entirely, and the modern series has only seen three parts.
