Editorial Reviews

There is a magical Oz-like moment near the beginning of The Chronicles of Narnia when Lucy Pevensie (Georgie Henley), the youngest of four siblings evacuated from war-torn London to a house in the country, enters a wardrobe during a game of hide-and-seek and exits out the back into a winter wonderland. According to "The Children's Magical Journey," just one of the items that comprise the ten hours of bonus features on this two-disc edition, this effect was delightfully achieved by blindfolding the actress until the cameras rolled, so that she got her first glimpse of the Narnia backwoods at the same time her character did. Actually, "wonderland" might be overstating things. There are enchanted fauns and accommodating talking beavers (wittily voiced by Ray Winstone and Dawn French), as well as the noble lion Aslan (regally voiced by Liam Neeson). But there are also menacing wolves, an army of hideous creatures, and the very evil White Witch (Tilda Swinton in a performance that is the stuff of nightmares). The White Witch dominates Narnia and intends to use Lucy's sullen brother Edmund (Skandar Keynes) in a plot against Aslan, who stands in the way of her absolute rule. The Pevensie children, including eldest brother Peter (William Moseley) and older sister Susan (Anna Popplewell), are a believable quartet, which is essential given the fantasy trappings that surround them. The four must learn to stop bickering long enough fulfill the heroic destiny put upon them by Narnia's talking critters. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Makeup, Narnia is more family friendly than the Lord of the Rings films, and the players in its good-vs.-evil battle are more clearly defined. Still, with intense battle scenes, menacing encounters with the witch and her minions, and the seemingly fatal injuries suffered by major characters, it seems that the film pushes its PG rating to the limits.

July 28, 2009: Enjoyable entertainment.

The storyline was wonderful and the action scenes were great. The imagery was vivid and captivating. The main characters will draw you in. Yet, beware the battle scenes are not for the weak at heart. You will enjoy this on a large screen with surround sound.

April 17, 2009: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is a story about four kids discovering an entirely different world, filled with adventure, thrills, danger, and more, by ACCIDENT, when playing a little game of hide and seek.

Edmond, Peter, Susan, and Lucy were forced to move away from London, to an old professor's mansion, due to the air-raids during the war. At first they found the huge house to be astonishing and thrilling, but after time boredom overcomes their spirit. Sitting around talking, the kids decide to play a game of hide and seek. Lucy, the youngest of the four, hides in a huge wardrobe. She backs up slowly, gradually, until she finds herself standing in snow, inside an entirely different world. There she meets a friend that she becomes close to. But when she returns through the wardrobe, the passage closes, and no time had passed from when she entered. Lucy tells her siblings and at first they don't believe her. A few days later though, all four of the children find themselves inside this mysterious world. Their, they become a royal family, as they battle the White Witch, with Aslan and the rest of the Narnian army to save the magical kingdom, as well as world. Written by C.S. Lewis.

As I read The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, I found it was very thrilling, exciting, and tear jerking. Each character had there own unique, interesting personality. The plot was a very exciting place that any kid as well as adult would like to be. I think the book was a product of a genius mastermind. This book, in a way, reminded me of the Harry Potter series. Although in my opinion The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, was a much better book.

My opinion of this story, is that it is a very fun book to read. Honestly I think it is a story made for younger children but I enjoyed it very much. Out of five stars I would give it four.
