Prepare to enter another world as Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media present C.S. Lewis's timeless and beloved adventure. With stunningly realistic special effects, you'll experience the exploits of Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter, four siblings who find the world of Narnia through a magical wardrobe while playing a game of hide-and-seek at the country estate of a mysterious professor. Once there, the children discover a charming, once peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs, and giants that has been turned into a world of eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. Aided by the wise and magnificent lion, Aslan, the children lead Narnia into a spectacular, climactic battle to be free of the Witch's glacial powers forever! Widescreen. Rated PG.

We all loved it.
Film critics were harsher. Some called the movie wooden in its adherence to the book and some even slammed Lewis' tale itself for seeming predictable. I completely disagree with those assessments.
There were some critics who faulted the movie's emphasis on violence -- a natural part of turning such a mythic adventure into cinema, I suspect.
What's most marvelous in the movie, I think, are scenes like the wardrobe itself -- its immense bulk from the outside and its sensual beauty with the fur coats and fur trees inside of it -- coming to imaginative life in a whole new way on the big screen.
Personally, I'm eager to see what the filmmakers do with the subsequent novels!

What a wonderful movie. The biblical symbolism of Christ shines through in the movie. It is a great movie for kids especially if you can explain the biblical meaning to them.

Wonderfully well done in the time alloted, especially the battle scenes between The White Witch and the Narnians. I would recommend this movie for viewing of 12yrs old and up.

A "True" classic. It does a heart good to explore some of the works of C.S. Lewis. The English in this movie only enhances the experience, in my view, even if it is a touch more proper than most Americans are used to. Five Stars, and once again Christianbook.com's customer service is great.

This was such a beautiful movie, so well done. Beautiful scenery and color. The young actors were so special. I can't wait until the new Narnia movie comes out!
