"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe," a spectacular live-action/CGI motion picture adaptation of C.S. Lewis' beloved literary classic. Lewis' timeless adventure 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 nobel 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.

MovieWeb Reviews:
"Family films are usually disappointing, but ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’ is a grand success. It entertains on all levels with a skillful blending of story and incredible visual effects." 
"If more time had been spent developing the character transformations then the film could have been another superb fantasy. Instead it's just another run of the mill effects blockbuster with little to no actual heart."
