These Movies Are Horrible [Archive] - The Dancing Lawn

I can assure you they are pretty high quality for the time they were produced! They were, as Paul said, on a limited budget for the BBC (who pooured most of their £ into Jane Austen re-creations!), and when they were first aired- around 4-5pm on Sunday afternoons in the winter (I remember-I was there!) they didn't need to be all that and a bag of chips as they were mainly aimed at a younger audience who wouldn't be bothered about the quality of the filming- we hadn't seen anything like it before (speaking personally) so had nothing to compare it to. I do remember them as being the highlight of the week telly-wise,a nd fro that they should be applauded!

no kidding. i watched them the other day cause i needed something to netflix and thought that would be interesting...i had to laugh at the giant sized beavers. they looked so fricking dumb. but as rosymole said, i am sure that when they were made they were much more well recieved. they also seem to me like they were more of a recorded play as opposed to a movie. so that could take into account some of the technological shortcomings.

hey, i love those movies! (btw, LucyGoosey, welcome back. i haven't seen ya in a while!). yes the beavers were a bit large, but it's better than nothing. for their time, the movies are great!

I always liked the beavers. And I do know that they didn't have much money, I wasn't making fun of how they were filmed.

I think that Samuel West was a great Caspian and I would love to see him in the new films somehow. These films were poorly done and they deserved a bigger budget but you have to take them for what they are. Honestly, I am surprised they are as good as they are. I did hate the musical score though. Sure, it was pretty. But I got tired of hearing the same 30 second track played over and over and over and over and over again in The Silver Chair.

Dead Rain

11-16-2004, 09:20 PM

he was the older Caspian, correct? if so, which i'm pretty sure he is, than i agree. he did a great job. he also was in another movie.. but i don't remembe what it was called. it was another one of those movies that was a novel. i think it may have been Persuasion? maybe. but what do i know?

Samuel West is Prunella Scales' son - certainly he was going to be good! ;)

I, personally, really love these movies, despite the fact that they weren't exactly tophole in the effects department. I grew up on them and now own a boxed set of the DVDs, of which I am very proud. :)

I saw these movies -- well, the first one -- when I was really little, and I must say, even being that young (or maybe, being that young I was more picky) I really didn't like it. I can't remember much, but Lucy especially confused me. I remember thinking, "is she supposed to be the sister of the others? She doesn't look anything like them!" I remember bad acting, bad sets, and well, I just remember not liking them. lol

OK, now that I've made enemies of people on this board...

I'm not saying that all movies with bad effects and bad acting are bad. I like a lot of movies that have bad of both. But I guess these in particular just aren't my cup o' tea. If a handful of people enjoy them, then, well, I can't say that it was a waste of time for them to be made.

Just don't watch them while I'm in the room.

Resident

You will learn to appreciate this older BBC-made SERIE (not movies), when this newer adaptation comes and shows us, that they are nothing but a prequel or a sequel to the LOTR.

Sad but true. Just take a look at the short clip that they have published on this site too. A plain horror movie, nothing more.

Specter

12-16-2004, 03:23 PM

I don't know about that Resident. These newer adaptations are the SAME story as the BBC ones, with a much LARGER budget, and a better effects crew.

Dragon

12-16-2004, 04:29 PM

Yes, I realize that those were a series rather than movies. I just said movies 'cause well, I didn't think people would care that I was technically inaccurate. Guess I was wrong. Anyway, I don't see how you can call Narnia simply a sequel or prequel to LotR. Of course it's possible it will have a similar cinematic style since the same people are designing the creatures and armies. But remember, it's a completely different target audience, completely different director, different studio (Walden and Disney vs. Newline and Wingnut), inspired by different mythologies (LotR was heavily norse based. Narnia draws from greek and eastern mythologies), etc. etc.

And even if it has the same visual style as LotR, (which would make since, since the AICN clip was focused on weta) is that a bad thing? I mean, Return of the King alone won 11 oscars (a number of the recipiants of those oscars are working on Narnia), a record tied by only two other movies. I'd say that's a crowning achievement, and if Narnia is visually anything like LotR, that'd be great.

I'm not really sure what your point is with the "horror" movie idea. You may recall (if you've read the book) that CS Lewis even wrote "ogres with monstrous teeth, and wolves, and bull-headed men; spirits of evil trees and poisonous plants; and other creatures whom I won't describe because if I did the grown-ups would probably not let you read this book -- Cruels and Hags and Incubuses, Wraiths, Horrors, Efreets, Srites, Orknies, Wooses, and Ettins."

So, yeah, that's just a part of one paragraph of the book this movie is based off of. And the AICN clip was focused on showing the creatures and only the creatures because, well, that's what weta is in charge of. That doesn't mean that they will be overpowering in the movie. If you want one five-minute scene to have all those things described, you've got to make them all. They may just be in there a brief moment of film time, but this particular video clip was showing all of the stuff they have to make for just a short piece of the movie.

But anyway, I think most of us here are awaiting these fine films with eager anticipation, and that's why we've stuck around this particular website, which I believe is a sort of fansite for the movies and books. (hence the domain name)

Aaiiee, the younger generation and its failure to appreciate the BBC versions!

I saw them as an adult Narnia fan after years of reading the books and was pleased for the most part. The low budget effects were not a hindrance, IMHO, but part of the charm. And I own them on VHS and DVD both.

What I fear the most is the adaptation of the book(s) to the audience - generating potential of hash-work cultural accomodation rather than telling the story (-ies). I think that if the strength of the faithfulness to the story that is present in the BBC version is maintained and coupled with the current special effects technology, then we may have a better over all production.

But really, in all the versions of Black Beauty that have aired on TV, do the color versions NECESSARILY outdo the B&W? (I'd vote no.) So technological production values alone will not make these films. Sure Metropolis and Nosferatu are silent films with woeful (by current standards) SFX, but they were and remain classics of film because powerful stroies. May the same be said of the current productions, We know it can be said for the BBC 'cause I am saying it! :D

edit: my 14 year old daughter seconds my opinion of the BBC versions and she has seen them from age 4 yrs...........so there!!!!! :p

I dunno, I love these movies. :D I will admit that the acting could have been better. I.E., Mr. Tumnus didn't look like he was really crying, and Lucy was a bit over the top sometimes when it came to enthusiasm. But for the most part, the acting was okay. My only complaint was the special effects, but they were on a small budget, so they did their best. A little cheesy, maybe, but it still takes you there.

Are you talking bout the late 80's versions by the BBC with the overacting Whit Witch, terrible special effects and a brilliant version of Puddleglum????

Well, I was talking about the BBC version. I don't know anything about the late 80's version. I don't know about everyone else...

04-18-2005, 11:05 AM

PS,

The late '80s version you refer to was the BBC production series. It initially ran on TV and was released between, IIRC, '88-'90.

There was a prior animated production in the late '70s run on TV and jointly sponsored by Kraft foods and the Episcopal Radio and TV Foundation.

These are the only versions released in VHS or DVD formats of which I am aware. There were earlier productions on the BBC of which I have heard reports, I think in the late 60's or early '70s.

I only have bad memories of the movies, even as a little kid (which was when I saw them) thinking how poorly they were made, and when I was a kid, I didn't have very high standards for movies anyway.

centaurus

05-05-2005, 04:57 PM

Well.. I can clearly see the deficiencies in the BBC proyect, but considering the fact that the production is 20 to 25 years old; and that then CGI existed only in "embrionic form", And that British public television produced it (with many limitations) many of the faults are understandable. Any analysis on this?

waterhogboy

05-06-2005, 01:03 PM

I completely agree centaurus. Ive said it before and Ill say it again - having watched this at an incredibly young age and at a time when those sort of special effects were amazing - I thought they were absolutely superb.

I recently bought them on DVD having not seen them for more than ten years at least. In a way I was alittle dissapointed to see how rubbish the effects actually were, but this feeling was overrided be the imense sense of pure joy at seeing these epics of my young childhood and they shall remain special to me forever - maybe even more so than the new films.

05-06-2005, 02:41 PM

I have not seen the BBC videos, but I am trying to trace a video I bought for my children in the mid 1980's of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe which was excellent.
Unfortunately I sold it at a boot sale after having a clear out a few years ago but I am now regretting the sale.
It was a full length cartoon and I remember the cover was a full snow scene with the children walking through.
My boys seem to remember it may not have been called the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe but something like the Witch of Narnia (?) although the story was just as the book.
I have searched so many sites to no avail, can anyone help and has anyone seen the video?

inkspot

05-06-2005, 04:21 PM

Did the cartoons look like the illustrations at the top of this page where it says "The Dancing Lawn"? I have often wondered where those pictures came from. If it's the program you are talking about, one of the designers of this site might know where you can find it ...

inked

05-08-2005, 11:30 PM

The animated version was produced under the auspices of the Kraft Food Company and the Episcopal Radio and TV Foundation in the mid-1970s, about 1977 or '78. It was available on Vestron Videos. You should be able to find it online.

Inkspot, it is indeed the source for the animation shots of the Dancing Lawn.

:D

Dragon

05-15-2005, 08:27 PM

One thing I really admire about the animated one is how completely faithful it is to the book, almost to the point of an obsession. You can even read along and the dialog and actions are amost exactly the same. ...except that they don't show Father Christmas, and the kids receive their gifts directly from Aslan. That's pretty much the main difference, and I suppose that was a forgivable difference.

Though I am looking forward to seeing Father Christmas in Andrew Son-of-Adam's version. ;-)

Dernhelm

05-15-2005, 08:28 PM

Yes, and I've seen it (and own it), it is called "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe". The music is great...the animation, terrible. The cartoons at the top are a bit enhanced...more 3-D than the original.

Edit: When I started to post this Dragon hadn't posted yet...in case it sounds out of place. ;-)

You know, what was Santa Claus doing in Narnia, anyway? And why were the Narnians celebrating Christmas? I have often wondered this ... did they know about Jesus, the Christ?

Hope96

05-24-2005, 01:46 PM

Well, in one of the later books (can't remember which one right off the top of my head) Aslan tells the children that he is also in their world but by another name. That he has brought them to Narnia so that they will be more likely to accept him in the other world as he is there. Which I took it that he was implying he was Jesus in our world. So I would say no.....the narnians didn't know of Jesus, because they knew of Aslan.

What does everyone else think?

inkspot

05-24-2005, 01:55 PM

Granted, Aslan is Christ in our world ... but why Christmas in Narnia is what I was wondering? Were the Narnians aware that Aslan was Christ in our world, and as Christmas is a contraction of "Christ's Mass" in the old Catholic sense, were they aware of mass?

I know it's a small thing, but I have often wondered about it...

GrayCloak

05-24-2005, 02:11 PM

Maybe Lewis was trying to connect with his readers with the universal persona of 'Father Christmas' (after all what could be worse then eternal winter, but no Christmas?), or maybe Lewis saw 'Father Christmas' as another mythos to be cleaned up as he did with the Greco/Roman characters of Bacchus, Sylvanus ect...

Perhaps though, since the first king and queen of Narnia were from our world they brought old practices and holidays with them - such as the celebration of Christ's birth. And the Narnian's continued keeping of it shows Christ's shadow and sacrifice overhanging a world so far removed from our own.

....or maybe I read to much into stuff...:D

I just watched BBC LW&W for the first time in like, ten years.

What sublime torture. They are so bad, you love them.

Things that made me laugh hysterically:
1)Japanese-film dubbed Aslan - he opens his mouth and six words come out! Amazing!

2)Bowling for Beavers - They look like furry barrels with legs. Makes me want to tip them over and watch them kick.

3)Battle Scenes - oh, to be a fly on the wall watching the characters brandish their weapons at nothing!

4)Jadis the Drama Queen - sheeeezuh...was she cast for her ability to bellow?

5)Skitzophrenic Edmund - there had to be a better way to show his inner struggle than splitting him into two and making him talk to himself!

6)Lucy, the orthodontist's dream - enough said.

I have a great fondness for these films. The kiddies love them. But lord, they are a scream!

I haven't watched the BBC movies in a while, but I absolutely loved the LWW movie. I do remember being disappointed with the others, I thought they were kinda poorly made, but when I think about the time that they were produced in, they are actually pretty good. It's hard to grade a movie from the late 80's nowadays, since we are so used to high tech everything.

I absoluetely loved the BBC LWW Aslan... he is exactly what I would picture Aslan to be.

Ya, the beavers might have been kinda out there, but they were cute in my opinion :)

Tarkheena_Finduilas22

06-22-2005, 07:00 PM

The movie isn't rated yet, But I have a sinking feeling it might be PG-13. But, it is a Disney movie so they'll probobly try to make it just PG. That's the oly good reason they R doing it.

Gymfan15

06-22-2005, 07:05 PM

Yeah.

I mean, its not like we havn't seen PG-13 movies before (God's and Generals, Apollo 13) but PG-13 is no man's land in the movie industry..it can mean something really gory, or something pretty tame. Just about everything goes.

So you have to be careful when it comes to that rating.

That being said..I'm sure Narnia will be fine..we just might send the little ones away during the intese battle scenes or watching it during the day (less scary, you don't have to go to bed right afterwards, lol).

I find that... I dunno... not right... I don't think that we should "water down" the truth of Christ's suffering... what happened happened... it shouldn't be watered down to make veiwing it easier, or not make us feel as bad about what Christ REALLY suffered for us.

Just my thought on the subject.

The Passion focused a lot on the physical suffering of Christ, but not a lot on why he actually was doing it. lol people went to the movie and came back saying, "I've seen the movie..but I still don't know why Christ died on the cross."

I don't need to look at Christ's physical suffering to appreciate or understand exactly what he did for me.

But that is a totally different subject so I'd better not get started; I could go on all day. ;)

*draws sword* I shall defend the BBC's honor!

Ok, so the 'special effect were bad but these were made-for-TV movies seventeen years ago...let's give them a little bit of leniency. There were doing the best they could with what they had and managed to produce a series of 'quaint' movies that, to me anyway, captured the spirit of the books.

I loved some of the actors in those movies, (of note the people who played Mr. Tumnas, the Professor, Mr. Beaver and Puddleglum!) and even the ones I didn't like (Lucy! Lucy! Lucy!) I accepted in the given role, and even have an affection for.

Yeah, It was a series you could watch with crumpets on a sunday morning.
Lucy was great. She's my favourite character from the series actually, My second favourite being Eustace.
