Lol. I remember the buck teeth, poor girl. The 1979 animated version isn't that hard to find if you are in the states, like I said in my previous post I have noticed it is availible at Wal-Mart. Check the childrens DVD section. It isn't with your typical DVDs, instead the poor thing resides in the same section with "Barney" and "The Best of Seasame Street".

Another thing I just remembered about the 2005 Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, it is annoyingly non violent. We should at least see a cut or a scrape here or there. The scene where Aslan tells Peter to wipe his sword we don't see a thing. I know it is made by Disney and made for kids, but I remember Sleeping Beauty and the Lion King being considerably more violent.

Oh, I almost forgot. The biggest inaccuracy of the 1979 animated film to the book, was that the animation left out the scene with Father Christmas and instead had Alslan give them their gifts when he first met them. That is one part of the book I have never been able to get over. Even when I read them when I was very young I thought it was weird and kind of lame having Santa Claus show up and give the kids weapons.
