The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: Based on the beloved novel by C.S. Lewis, we journey along 4 kids as they travel through a wardrobe to the timeless land of Narnia. What made the books so loved is the way it pushed your imagination to the max, could a movie have that same magic – I am glad to say YES! The 1st to enter the land of Narnia is Lucy, who is the youngest. She quickly runs into Mr. Tumnus, a faun and the adventure really picks up from there. The Magic of Narnia is that there are no humans there and it is the animals that control the land. - That all changes when the 4 kids enter Narnia. They are guided by a knowledgeable lion, who informs them of their importance in this mysterious world. You could not even think about making this movie 10 years ago, but with today’s technology the sky is the limit. The effects are the key to this whole movie – we have people talking to animals the entire time and it needs to be done in a fantasy/believable way. We do have to remember that the story is for kids -- the movie does hold back on violent scenes, but that is not the point anyway…….the point is to BELIEVE…….and I did!!
