Hi! I am thinking that there must have been at least one more cartoon. I was in grade school nearly 25 to 30 years ago and we had to watch one every year that was different than both of these two. I remember being afraid of the lion's voice at first 
. But, it was that video that started me to reading the Chronicles. If your mother is close to my age, she might remember the cartoon that we watched at school.re: is this the first?
Posted: December 24th, 2005, 6:24 pmWithout delving into various tv operators/nostalgia websites I can't substantiate what my sometimes wavering memory tells me.. but..
I do know that at least LWW & PC were read on the BBC's Jackanory series (with the PB illustrations used extensiveley to break up the otherwise continual view of the narrator).
not so sure on this one, BUT, I do have a rather dim memory of a black & white TV series (BBC or ATV/ITV unsure which) of LWW. In particular the image of Edmund scraling a moustache on the Stone Lion comes to mind)
Hope this helps

Posted: December 25th, 2005, 9:52 amThe B&W one was probably the 1967 one that grew out of being a Jackanory style production. It has contemporary clothing for the children, so that "Lucy" has 60s style pigtails and a mini skirt.
The introductory programme for the BBC series ("Past Watchful Dragons") showed a clip or two of this, while interviewing past directors and scriptwriters.
There has been only the one animated version though. There were 3 serials of Narnia stories done by the BBC in the late 80s. Perhaps this is what the first person's memory is thinking of?

Posted: December 25th, 2005, 10:53 amI think 1967 sounds about right.
not sure if "growing out of Jackanory production" is right though.
Jackanory at that time was a program that featured a Reader of an abridged version who sat in a simple wicker chair, with an occasional interspetion of illustrations from the book in question (other feature "Little-Nose and Two Eyes, Stig of te Dump, The Pie Makers, and other classics of a by-gone age).
Just to confuse the issue though...
On BBC TV there was an early East European (I think) B&W tv series that was about a frozen land. featured an evil dwarve/goblin and a fish frozen in a fouintain. I suppose where this is an "early" MEMORY IT COULD BE CONFUSED WITH lw&w ?
