Comments

Aldo Gonzales

I watched this back in elementary school.

Kale

Haven't seen this since it came out, looking forward to a trip down memory lane!

Caitlin

Rob - I too loved the cartoon vs! FYI you can watch it on YouTube!

C. J. Ramirez

Edmund never deserved a character arc he was a snitch the whole movie

FedeM

my favorite books growing up

Victoria Davis

My great grandparents housed some English children in Canada during the war.

Has anyone else had issues watching the second link on streamable? The last 4 or 5 posts I’ve watched the screen keeps freezing but audio keeps playing. I just have to pause the video then unpause, but it happens a lot. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or it’s just me.

Andrew

Also great reaction. Fun nostalgic movie

Marinda

THere are 3 movies. There should be a series by Greta Gerwig coming somewhere down the line, Not sure when that is coming

Victoria Davis

Also love that Rob was so worried about the beavers who are wonderful swimmers haha

There's an old BBC version of this that makes it a book further in the series..It's got some interesting choices for effects but I believe it's more book accurate.. This version is lots of fun even with some of their choices for changes from the books, though most of that is from the next film..Liam Neeson as Aslan is like perfect voice casting.. The new Greta Gerwig rendition of the series is going to be Narnia in name only though..

I have been a Narnia fan since I was a kid, what do you mean I'm learning only now that there's an animated movie out there 😭

Crusader

what a great movie!! i was very young when it came out

SUPER long comment incoming gushing about how much I love this & random fun facts. I expect no one to fully read this bc it’s long but I at least wanna show my appreciation for this reaction & story: 1. I feel like Narnia is single handedly responsible for generations of kids discovering that Turkish Delight is…not so delightful 🫠😂 That said, the Turkish Delight the witch gave Edmund was enchanted and that’s why Edmund kept wanting more. 2. There’s 3 books they made into 3 films (the entire series is 7 books). I’d be down for reactions to the other 2 films! And Netflix is in motion to adapt all 7 books, but it’ll likely take years. Greta Gerwig (who directed Barbie) has already been working on at least two Narnia films. But watching the 2005 trilogy is, in my opinion, a must. 3. The amount of kids who grew up checking at the back of their wardrobes for Narnia is unlimited & I love that Rob did this as a kid as well. 4. Did you know that Weta Workshop—the creative team who created a lot of the monster designs, minatures, weaponry, and special effects for the LOTR—also worked on this film? 5. Rob and Trin absolutely loving Aslan is EVERYTHING because yes, Aslan is the best! I think all of us who love Narnia just wanna hug Aslan lol! 6. The director of this film, Andrew Adamson, said that his approach to adapting it was to recreate the way he felt, the wonder he felt, when he was a kid first reading Narnia. One way he accomplished this was by keeping the reveal of the set for the Narnian woods a secret to the actress who played Lucy, so her reaction of wonder at seeing Narnia for the first time is the actress’ genuine reaction of wonder because it was also her first time seeing it. 7. I love Rob’s passion and excitement to see one of his childhood cartoons coming back into his life via a new adaptation! That’s how so many of us felt when this adaptation hit the theaters after having grown up on some version of the story prior. As a child, I grew up on the books and BBC adaptation until this 2005 adaptation came out and then the 2005 one became the official adaptation I’d grow up on & rewatch. It’s such a unique gift that enables us to experience / recreate the magic we felt as kids. When Lewis wrote The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe, he dedicated it to his goddaughter Lucy and said, “I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realised that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather” I think that encapsulates well the experience many have of experiencing Narnia as a kid and then going through a phase as a teen where you think you’re too old for fairy stories but by the time you’re an adult, you’re ready for them again, develop a deeper appreciation for them from a new perspective and learn just how important fairy stories are. Totally agree with Rob about how it feels like not as many stories are like this anymore, where it just makes you feel like a kid again and takes you away into a magical land that you feel you could wander into at any point. Lewis sorta addressed this in one of his essays where you can see he was intentional about drawing out in us what he called the “inconsolable secret.” It’s a long quote so I won’t quote it all here but you can Google it for the full quote. It starts this way: "In speaking of this desire for our own far off country, which we find in ourselves even now, I feel a certain shyness. I am almost committing an indecency. I am trying to rip open the inconsolable secret in each one of you—the secret which hurts so much that you take your revenge on it by calling it names like Nostalgia and Romanticism and Adolescence; the secret also which pierces with such sweetness that when, in very intimate conversation, the mention of it becomes imminent, we grow awkward and affect to laugh at ourselves; the secret we cannot hide and cannot tell, though we desire to do both. We cannot tell it because it is a desire for something that has never actually appeared in our experience. We cannot hide it because our experience is constantly suggesting it, and …” well you can Google it for the rest. But yeah Rob I think you were hitting on a lot of things about how there’s just something about stories like this. The atmosphere and whole vibe. 8. If you’re ever interested in exploring more about why stories like this have a particular magical feel that isn’t always in other fantasy stories, I totally recommend reading (or listening to an audio recording of) Tolkien’s essay called “On Fairy Stories” where he describes what he believes constitutes a fairy story, which he defines in a way modern audiences tend not to, a way that I think may exclude many stories modern audiences label as fairy stories but to Tolkien, might not have been. I think Tolkien’s “On Fairy Stories” sheds light on what you’re talking about with how we don’t make as much stuff like this anymore and what “stuff like this” even means. At least in my opinion, Tolkien's "On Fairy Stories" is essential reading for anyone who loves fantasy, myth, and magical worlds and wants to understand maybe why certain stories hit home in the magical feels more than others or who wants to create their own stories in these genres. Tolkien and Lewis were very close friends and both helped each other write their respective works (Lewis even proofread LOTR to the extent that we would never have gotten LOTR in as good a state as it is without Lewis’ meticulous editing and input). Both authors, though different, held similar values for what kinds of stories they wanted to tell. (Granted, I'm not sure Tolkien would label Narnia as a true fairy story, but I think parts of Tolkien's views rubbed off on Lewis, even if not entirely, enough for Narnia to (in my opinion) still give off that sense of fairy that Tolkien discusses. Tolkien initially disliked Narnia, but then in his later years, he began to change his mind and grew more and more to appreciate it, and if he lived longer, I think he would have gradually grown to love it). 9. In conclusion, this is my favorite reaction to the first Narnia film, hands down! Words cannot express how happy I am that y’all reacted to Narnia! Ah! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

🌸Foof🌸

Great reaction guys! Really hope you continue with the series I love the second one!!

Brendan R Colquitt

Half man half goat is a satyr. Greek creature of the forests

ShelleyAnn

This being robs favourite cartooon is really cute 😍

Rob & Trin React!

not sure why streamable would do that, it is usually stable. Will keep an eye out for comments about it but when i check it it seems to be fine for us.

Brendan R Colquitt

Im surprised they didnt make a movie if the magicians nephew. Its the prequel to this story and explains the origins of Narnia, the witch and why the wardrobe leads to Narnia. Its also the professors story as a child and how hes only surprised about where the portal to Narnia was found

Chrissy

Same! I was always surprised why adaptations always left out Magician’s Nephew. Magician’s Nephew is one of my favorite Narnia books! But good news that Greta Gerwig is currently as we speak working on producing Magician’s Nephew, so we at least know for sure that there will be an adaptation of this one and I think? it’ll be the first one Netflix releases. I hope so!

AnGeLuS

Yes, satyr is Greek and faun is Roman. However, they are similar creatures. Satyrs often have longer horns than fauns. Furthermore, in this movie we also see the Minotaur, with its bull-like head, and centaurs, the horse-men.

Brendan R Colquitt

Oh I hadn't heard she was doing magicians nephew too! Cool!

Brendan R Colquitt

Not too versed on the roman mythology other than romulus and Remus. I was kinda laughing when they were like MINOTAUR! oh no THATS a minotaur. Then when an actual minotaur came on they said nothing 😂

SYN

Despite the magician’s nephew often being listed as book 1 it was actually published a year before book 7. And for those of us who know the events that unfold in “The Last Battle” and the characters involved then I think it’s safe to say C.S Lewis added it to the line up in that order to maintain some of the mystery up until a certain object/ plot device needed to be explained for the purpose of book 7. I think this is also the reason that most adaptations don’t get to Magician’s nephew- they tend to stick to the release order. I absolutely love this book series as a kid. I vividly remember it as a the first chapter series I read in first grade

Rob & Trin React!

have to say this, opened World of Warcraft the other day and my main character is called Syn lol

Chrissy

P.S. and if you’re not ready to dig into Tolkien’s On Fairy Stories, Jess of the Shire on YouTube put out an excellent video discussing / summarizing Tolkien’s essay and watching her video may make it easier to later on dig into the essay directly. Her video is titled “On Fairy Stories: Tolkien’s Best Work” on YouTube.

Elena

You might wanna do a bigger deep dive into his character

SYN

Peter’s sword is called Rhindon ♥️

SYN

Y’all watched this movie almost exactly 20 years after its release. I do recommend the rest of the movies, but I will say this “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe” is most book accurate and to me has always been to most source accurate adaptation of any adaptation ever. That being said the others do have a special place in my heart and the actors that play the Pevensies.

SYN

The older Lucy Pevensie is played by Rachel Henley who is the younger Lucy’s (Georgie Henley) older sister. It’s why they looked so familiar lmao. ALSO I named my dog Georgie after Lucy’s actress lol I really love Narnia. I’m so glad it finally won

AnGeLuS

Roman and Greek mythology are very similar. For many things, they simply use different names. Zeus and Jupiter are practically the same god. Ares and Mars, god of war, were simply named after the planets by the Romans.

Rob, I like you loved watching the animated version of this when I was a kid. It is one of my favorite stories. I am excited for Greta Gerwig's (Barbie film Director) Narnia film adaptations on Netflix. There are 7 books in the main book series and Greta is making them in chronological order starting with the 'Magician's Nephew' which will be in theaters by American Thanksgiving 2026 and on Netflix by Christmas 2026, The second film she is already working on is 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrob'.

Leosunfire23

Also, I made a GW2 female Norn character a couple years ago that I named and made to look like Jadis from this film. lol

Michael Celia

Read all the books as a kid (think I still have them somewhere) and was briefly obsessed with the BBC adaptation - watched it whenever it was on TV. For a while, I checked the back of every closet, wardrobe and armoire for a fantasy world...unfortunately the only thing I ever found was my uncle's secret porn stash...

Kitikits

This was great! Felt like I was watching a Lord of the Rings reaction again. The sequel to this is a must-see.

Dude

maybe rings of power, one day. Ima kind of on a mood now

matteo

thery are making a netflix remake starting with the magicians nephew cant wait director greta gerwig who did barbie will be the director and follow the books

Amy

I love Narnia I have the box set of the BBC tv series made in the 80s they adapted 4 of the 7 books I grew up watching them over and over. I have the books I've read them all they're all very interesting stories. Then they made these in 2005 and again only adapted 3 of them. I really hope the Netflix adaptions will be good because I want to see all 7 of them from the beginning, the magician nephew, I'm slightly worried I've heard it wont be faithful as they have changed the time line the first book is supposed to take place in early 1900s and the second lion witch and wardrobe takes place in 1930s during ww2 but they've moved the new adaptation to 1950 so its completely wrong, if they go on to make the other films it will no longer be during ww2 and then all the other books will all be after 60s or 70s I really hope they haven't gone for the lets make it modern day children so they're all from the 2000s .

Jane Avery

Loved the reaction! These movies are the equivalent of a warm comfy blanket. I love the score for these movies Can't wait for the second one...!
