The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (PG)

Quicklook Rating★★★

synopsis

C.S. Lewis' timeless adventure "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" follows the exploits of the four Pevensie siblings -- Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter -- in World War II England who enter the world of Narnia through a magical wardrobe while playing a game of 'hide-and-seek' in the rural country home of an elderly professor. Once there, the children discover a charming, peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs and giants that has become a world cursed to eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. Under the guidance of a noble and mystical ruler, the lion Aslan, the children fight to overcome the White Witch's powerful hold over Narnia in a spectacular, climactic battle that will free Narnia from Jadis' icy spell forever.

MovieGoer Review

The Chronicles of Narnia does indeed capture a certain wondrous, fantastical imagination inspired by C.S. Lewis’ literary classics. But the film unfortunately also suffers from Lord of the Rings envy.
