The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe
The wardrobe beckons you to a land of magic, danger and cockney talking beavers.


The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe
Plot
To escape the horrors of the Blitz, the Pevensie children are packed off to live with eccentric Professor Kirke (Broadbent). While playing in his mansion, they discover a wardrobe that provides a portal to the magical world of Narnia. Cue wicked witches, Turkish Delight, talking wolves and a huge smackdown to decide the fate of a kingdom.


Verdict
It’s a more dynamic adventure than Potter IV but lacks the majesty and richness of LOTR. Still, it’s an enjoyable adaptation and good enough for us to welcome this new franchise.
