One thing I never get tired of is seeing how the White Witch is portrayed on stage around the world, in LWW productions both amateurish and professional. In fact, the White Witch *is* often the highlight of the show, especially in her interactions with Edmund which make prime moments for photographers to memorialize, like Snow …
Last in this series of posts, some VHS and DVD covers of the animated special. These have not been consistent at all over the years. This VHS release was the first, released October 13th, 1993 in the U.S. No idea why it took that long. Copyrights maybe. Though not great design, the cardboard slipcover combines …

I know I lot of Narnia fans may be yawning at that, but it’s interesting to read because without that involvement, there wouldn’t have been a special in the first place. They …
This illustration, by artist Forrest Burdett, is an art print that mimics a design for a book cover. It includes all the elements but Aslan and Mr. Tumnus, giving the viewer the idea kids defeat the witch, who is glowering on the bottom, on their own. As an artist I like this intentionally naive, folkloric …
