Revisiting the BBC's 90s adaptation of C. S. Lewis's "The Silver Chair" is a nostalgic but bumpy ride. It's a deeply faithful take on the book that really wears its low budget on its sleeve, feeling a lot more like a stage play than an epic fantasy. Because the camera work is so static and the pacing is incredibly slow, the story loses a lot of its urgency and scale. What should be thrilling action or escape scenes…
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair (1990)
Eustace is sent to a horrible school and finds a friend in Jill Pole, who's also running from bullies and looking for a place to hide. The two of them are magically transported from the garden shed into the magical world of Narnia, where they are entrusted with a task by Aslan: to rescue the king's stolen son, Prince Rilian. Together with Puddleglum the Marshwiggle, they must travel north across the mountains, dodge giants, and journey down into the earth itself to rescue Rilian from the mysterious evil that holds him bound there.
