Overall, I think this series got better which each episode... until this one, which I find worst than 4 and 5. For a few reasons.
While topping 5 would be hard anyway, this had some major flaws. For one, the fight scene... there are cool moments, like Edmund and Peter slashing the drawn creatures, Edumnd cutting Jadis's wand, and Jadis turning the people into stone. However, a lot of it is poking sticks/flailing against the animations and trying to fit in. And Edmund's missed sword swings were wierd. Also, there was lots of obvous green screen, especially when Lucy and Susan ride on Aslan's back.
However, I do still like this episode. Narnia still looks amazing, and the episode dives right in to the emotion coming from the great cliffhanger last episode (which also is cool for the Bible parallels). It was cool seeing Lucy reunite with Tumnus, and the moment when they come through the wardrobe as kids again really deserves some thought. From their POV. Makes me think of "The Inner Light" (Star Trek TNG S5 E24). Decently satisfying conclusion to the first BBC Narnia series.
I rate this 28% into Tier 5 (Good).
