A Christmas children's tale about becoming a part of an adventure. During World War II, four siblings are sent into the English countryside for safety. When they arrived to the dull exploits of an uncle's home, the children discover a wardrobe full of the fantastic.On the other side, the Pevensie children soon learn that their newfound world: Narnia, is in trouble. The White Witch has taken over Narnia, ousted the rightful ruler: Aslan, and wants to kill them to stop the prophecy.
Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie follow their own path to Aslan. Once together, the four wage war against the White Witch. In the end victorious, kings and queens of Narnia take their place.
This movie, though for kids, satisfied this adult. Full of wonder, action, and excitement, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe allowed the audience to feel the happiness, sorrow, and danger these children faced while in another land.
The musical score was understated, but I would like to have heard more instead of less in action sequences. Even though children themselves, the principles were dynamic and rich. CGI blended in well with the live action.
DVD
With the four disc edition, one can find a multitude of extras. This special edition is sure to please. As a fan, I wish that additional minutes (more then 5 to 10) were added so I may immerse myself in whichever land I choose to put in my DVD player.
