Fun Fact: When the actors were in the beaver suits they had trouble moving around. They'd sometimes tip over and get stuck. There were two stagehands who were charge of helping them and their job title was "beaver retriever."
From the book- it seems that just when Mr. Beaver was saying the rhyme about the 4 thrones at Cair Paravel and the 3 of them were listening so intently, Edmund had quietly gone behind the curtain that hung over the door, turned the door-handle quietly and got out without hearing the part about the witch not being human at all. He had then cautiously closed the door behind him. It s also mentioned that the children were so engrossed that they had not noticed anything else around.
There had been humans in Narnia before but it'd been a long time. The Professor is actually Diggory from one of the other Narnia books. Which is why he didn't think the kids' story about the wardrode was odd. I can't remember the details but I think he was transported to Narnia, sometime around the turn of the 20th century, from a London attic, via a magic ring.
Edmund is the most interesting character among the four. His character development from a spoiled and irresponsible child, to becoming one of the best advisors of Narnia (book reference). Another reference, was his role in the second book when he simply said "The last time I didn't believe Lucy, I looked like a fool" shows that he has accepted his faults and set aside his pride. Which is why I hated the Disney version of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader which made Edmund look like a selfish and arrogant leader, when in the book, he was the one who put some thought into Caspian's head.
I've read the chapter version of the dinner with the Beavers from the book. Everything Mr. Beaver says is 99% correct compared to what he says in the book. I love it!
Sean Naylor it does have in the book when he walks to the Witch’s palace that he’s contemplating about betraying his brother and sisters and becoming king of Narnia
I love this version of aslan the best.. the new one is just kindof like "Hello. I am liam nieson. I'm a freakin' lion". The voice actor for this aslan was so.. peaceful, mysterious. He made me feel comforted and a little on edge(Since he was a lion after all!). :3 Man when the heck are we gonna see "The magicians nephew" and "the last battle"!? I know they're like.. SUPER OVERT CHRSTIAN TONES but they're still REALLY great stories. Grrr. Stupid marketing departments >.>'
The scene where they realized Edmund was gone always bothered me. It's snowing, it's freakin cold outside. No one felt the cold when Edmund left the house through the door, or is there some other explanation in the book that they just didn't put in the movie to how Edmund left without them knowing because I see it truly impossible they were that in tuned with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver's story.
i enjoy this film very much and im only 28 years old lol i feel like a little boy you come to think life only has ten years of childhood and 90 years of adult hood and full of responsibilities no wonder they are so important...From LA
Wow this did not stand up the test of time.This just bores me to tears. The way the queen acts mine as well hold a sign saying I'm evil and they should of considered animating it and stop toning the themes down.
funny how peter uses the word 'BEAST' as an insult towards his brother as if being a beast is bad, when there are two beasts in his compant who are beavers
the actors who played the beavers could hardly walk in their outfits it was said during interviews they would regularly fall flat on their faces so their scenes had to be shot several times
thier were lil things in movie vers that were neat-i liked the personalities of the movie beavers,plus-tho dialuge was dif,they put in lil "jokes" that u would get if u knew original-but these actors do a good job-they make the silly costumes work[after u get used to em]but-i kinda wished they used sum "henson muppets" for sum of this[and i'm 38!]
The food Edmund eats is an allegory for the apple Eve ate in the Garden of Eden. Edmunds betrayal, greed and jealousy are similar to the way sin effected Cain and Abel in the Bible.
I love how they didn't realize Edmund was gone that whole time lol!!!!! How it happened: ... Hey where did Edmund go????? ***CHAOS***!!!! How it should have happened: ... Hey where did Edmund go??? Oh well, he went to see the witch..... F*CK HIM!! Lol And I love how as soon as mr beaver found out that Edmund had been to Narnia before, he suddenly knew everything about the kid lol... TRY HAAARD!!...
Edmunds betrayal was due to two things: 1) the witch did something to him, making him want more of her turkish delight so much he would even hand over his own family, even after everything Lucy told him about her. He just wanted that stuff so bad, he chose to believe the creepy stranger. 2) He's just a little git in general (though later learnt his lesson)
EverChangingShadow I actually like this version of Edmund more than the Disney version. They’ve gotten his personality from the book down to a T. And the actor who portrays him did an excellent job. You just want to punch Edmund in the face for how much of a snide asshole he is. Don’t get me wrong, the Disney’s Narnia is awesome, but some scenes and characters work more in the BBC version than others.
I think Mr. Beaver mocking him was what set him off though. He sneaks away right after that, it was the straw that broke the camel's back. If the beavers hadn't laughed at him, I wonder if he would've gone to the Witch, and if not, I wonder how he would've handled things had he been with his siblings on the trip to the Stone Table.
Yeah. I recently re-read LWW in honor of its 70th anniversary and I noticed several continuity errors in the book in comparison to the events MN. A good example I can think of is that LWW mentions Jadis was the Emperor’s hangman, but in MN she has a completely different backstory coming from the ruined world of Charn and the Emperor Beyond the Sea, which represents God in the books, seemingly disappears, and Aslan all of a sudden is the creator of Narnia; despite the text in LWW suggesting the Emperor Beyond the Sea as possibly the creator.
Well, not necessarily. But in this case, it seems that the plot of the disney movie was different from the book only to make it grander, more stylish, right out more hollywood. They're trying to make it look like LOTR, which screws up everything, because the atmospheres of these two universes are completely different. At least the atmosphere of these series is genuine.
@@ulfberht4431 Yep, because obesity is a health problem that drives up health care costs and medical bills for everyone. Losing weight benefits society as a whole.

It's amazing that these relatively low budget dramatisations tell the story so much better than the Disney version.
I love the complete version of the conversation with the beavers that is portrayed here...faithful to the book:):):)
s2291985e Faithful doesn’t always mean good.
@@ulfberht4431 Not a perfect adaptation but still pretty solid I’d say.
Far more solid than the Walden Media version

love the look on Lucys face when misses beaver sets down the marmalade roll lol

Characters with flaws are always more interesting to many.

I love the new movies, but the originals are so wonderful. I miss the days of people in costumes, acting!
I thought it was brilliant that Edmund's conscience was in the third part. It didn't happen in the films or books but it was a great idea.
Sean Naylor it does have in the book when he walks to the Witch’s palace that he’s contemplating about betraying his brother and sisters and becoming king of Narnia
"When he bares his teeth
Winter meets its death
And when he shakes his mane
We shall have spring again"
I always hum along to the background music :)
Mr. Beaver in this kind of reminds me of Hagrid from "Harry Potter" when he's talking at the table.
I love this version of aslan the best.. the new one is just kindof like "Hello. I am liam nieson. I'm a freakin' lion". The voice actor for this aslan was so.. peaceful, mysterious. He made me feel comforted and a little on edge(Since he was a lion after all!). :3

I want marmalade roll.... with custard!
Delicious 😋

You’d be surprised how often people don’t notice things even when they are in a deep conversation. Plus, Edmund could’ve slipped so silently.
this is seriously the bomb dot com. love this so much. the awful acting, the awful costumes. so good.
would have been hiarious after all the mayhem they went through if Edmund just appeared saying he had to go to the loo.... awkward....
TheRaggedyObserver oh yeah I can only imagine. Edmund where were you oh I was taking a piss LOL
Also in disney version the beavers act like their parents, because they dont have cubs.
in disney version the beavers look like a countryside couple, in this version they look like british couple.
Francisco Araújo well but then again it is a British production and they are British actors
"Now will you eat another thing?"
Lord love ya son of adam (Laughing) Man that cracked me up so much :)
6:34
No one thought to look for Edmund under the table...
0:56
"He was taken off by the Secret Poh-lease"
i enjoy this film very much and im only 28 years old lol i feel like a little boy you come to think life only has ten years of childhood and 90 years of adult hood and full of responsibilities no wonder they are so important...From LA
i like tilda's version of the castle it was awesome...but this was a classic version of the castle
I love Beavers!!!
Wow this did not stand up the test of time.This just bores me to tears. The way the queen acts mine as well hold a sign saying I'm evil and they should of considered animating it and stop toning the themes down.
lion..and beavers...and witches...oh my!
... that awkward moment you realize Mrs. Beaver got a job at Downton Abbey as the cook...
This scene is so tense, i was always afraid that the wolf would burst in and roar
they all look the same age (the children that is) but i still love both of the narnia versions
Mr. Beaver sounds like Hagrid from Harry Potter XD
funniest thing ive ever seen
funny how peter uses the word 'BEAST' as an insult towards his brother as if being a beast is bad, when there are two beasts in his compant who are beavers
I swear i thought he was going to say "Your lifes wouldn't be worth a shit." when he said "shake of my whiskers." Of course, i should have known. x)
@HeathenMaiden
what are you talking about, all the animals were wonderfuly done in the new ones
Basically a Jelly Roll, but made with Marmalade.
the actors who played the beavers could hardly walk in their outfits it was said during interviews they would regularly fall flat on their faces so their scenes had to be shot several times
A Beaver Dish? lol
@VirqzIbfazqr I have to say that I've only seen the Disney version but I have to say that your message is very heart warming....
when the hell did beavers start drinking beer?
thier were lil things in movie vers that were neat-i liked the personalities of the movie beavers,plus-tho dialuge was dif,they put in lil "jokes" that u would get if u knew original-but these actors do a good job-they make the silly costumes work[after u get used to em]but-i kinda wished they used sum "henson muppets" for sum of this[and i'm 38!]
So was the Witch's food enchanted to make Edmund betray his siblings?
The food Edmund eats is an allegory for the apple Eve ate in the Garden of Eden. Edmunds betrayal, greed and jealousy are similar to the way sin effected Cain and Abel in the Bible.
What I don't get is how nobody realised early on that Edmund was gone lol
I love how they didn't realize Edmund was gone that whole time lol!!!!!
How it happened: ... Hey where did Edmund go????? ***CHAOS***!!!!
How it should have happened: ... Hey where did Edmund go??? Oh well, he went to see the witch..... F*CK HIM!! Lol

Edmund slipped away quietly, without Peter, Susan, Lucy, and Mr. and Mrs. beaver noticing
5:21 - wrong! What about Polly and Digory?
That book was written after this one
Yeah. I recently re-read LWW in honor of its 70th anniversary and I noticed several continuity errors in the book in comparison to the events MN.

yep, marmelade roll, it's the accent i'm afraid! marmelade raw isn't that big a deal, as surely most people don't cook it anyway...
Did he just say sh@t of my wiscars
Did the White Witch put a spell on Edmund or is he just a traitor by heart?
Yes, the most important think is be candy&great like lucy
Agreed. They could have sent out for takeaway.
why did edmund ask for food if he JUST ate?

Hi there, That is Very Good Statement? So you tell about your Narnia stories still Come true in your Funky house.
I keep getting Lucy and the Mrs Beaver mixed up
omg why am i laughing so much
Lucy looks like she is permanently on heat
Are the beavers expats from Yorkshire ???
They're not from Narnia, of course they don't know who Aslan is.
7:37 oh no
The Beaver's teeth look weird, I still like them though..
I have a question
Did the beavers cook the fish looks raw to me?
Fast forward to 9:10 then brace yourself for Lucy's response. Hilarious!!!
@Bryskens "marmalade roll". not raw. like a roll cake, but different.
@topjar82 What the hell are you on about?
0:37 Later, Peter would become infamously known for beating his wife.
What did Peter say at 6:41?
5:28 yeah tell me about it. She calls herself the queen of Narnia but she’s not a queen at all. She’s evil.
She wasn’t a Queen at all, she’s a horrible witch, the White Witch
She won’t turn him into stone? 😭
My, oh, my. This is weird. The beavers are way too large. yeparoo.
Can someone watch library assistant becomes savior for dog on TH-cam
Dreadful actress, as well. Since she's just a child, blame it on the director for not telling her to tone it down.
edmund = judas
omg those r really Fat beavers they scare me i like the disny movie better
8:29 mmm mmm 🤔
You what?
Mr. Beaver sounds like a black man. LOL!
Freaky beaver..............
they look nothing like beavers
lucy is so chubby lol she looks overweight
Thumbs up if you think Lucy should skip a meal or two.
Fat shaming!
@@ulfberht4431 Yep, because obesity is a health problem that drives up health care costs and medical bills for everyone. Losing weight benefits society as a whole.
Lucy needs to stop eating. She's got plenty of blubber that her body can eat from.
Fat shaming!
"Now will you eat another thing?"
