This is part 5 of a rambling compare-and-contrast on the BBC miniseries and Disney feature film versions of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, with extensive reference to the book (since the book is my only true canon). As of yet, I have no preference for one filmization over the other, since both have elements that make me happy and elements that annoy me to no end.

jump to some thoughts on Prince Caspian

-----

The aftermath:

The BBC's battle staging also makes no emotional sense... )

-----

The coronation:

The BBC opens this section by showing everyone marching along the road... )

-----

The final return to England:

The BBC segues into Tumnus writing a chronicle of the Pevensies' reign... )

-----

A short note on music:

I love the BBC credit music to bits... )

-----

Summing up:

If I were watching these productions without the book as a frame of reference... )

And that is that! \o/

(Unless, of course, you want to read some thoughts on Prince Caspian, written as real-time stream of reactions while I watched the Disney filmization. I have not watched the BBC version of that story, though I may get around to it someday, once Disney's version of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is released, since apparently the BBC combined those two books.)
