As I remember, some of the artists that created the cartoon were the same as the ones who made the Peanuts specials for TV in the sixties. I had enjoyed those, but Charlie Brown is someone very different from Aslan. Peanuts is an American comic strip made for U. S. TV, but I think the BBC and Lewis' surviving family should have been directly involved in the making of the cartoon. Then it probably would have been more accurate to the book. Perhaps Pauline Baynes could have worked with the animators. Her illustrations brought to life would have made something that would have been a companion to the original book.
