The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1989) Review

The title card of the BBC adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia, consisting of the title in gold against swirling brown clouds
This is my review of 1989's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This one is the 2nd segment of Part 2 in the BBC's adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia. This one has the best visuals out of the parts I've watched so far. Here's some screengrabs so you can see what I'm talking about.

A large ship, docked in the Narnian waters
A mouse named Reepicheep, holding a small dagger
A ship in a large gale, lightning strikes on the top corner
A dragon. nothing more, nothing less.
A dragon flies against an aerial shot of an island
A scary fish beast
Animated bees fly out of a book.
The bees fly against the face of a young child with short hair and straight bangs, wearing a black top.
Thunder comes out of another book's page, the little girl is surprised
Overall, I find the 1989 part to be better than the 1988 one, in terms of visuals. Once again, Geoffrey Burgon delivered a beautiful and wonderful score that fits each scene like a glove.

I'd give VDT a 10/10.
