Lucy was this dumpy, homely girl which gave her character a totally different outlook than Jackson's version. Peter seemed younger than Edmund, which didn't work. Jadis (the ice queen) was way hammy, which felt more like the books (Jadis was doomed by Aslan to always know she would be evil but be helpless to cope with it). I far prefer Jackson's Jadis, who was more like th borg queen with her icy-ness and that was totally hot. The effects were crappy. Bad animation for the flying beasts. Silly costumes, especially the beavers. Felt more like a version of the Wind and the Willows.
But the Aslan puppet was amazing. It was like a pantomine horse or a Chinese lion with two people inside, but the eyes and face were great. I'd love that puppet. It was all about that puppet.
Been debating about renting the Rankin Bass version, but I have horrid memories of bad animation and a wimpy Aslan.
