Four young people from the same family leave their home town because of the bombings of WWII. A woman and a professor take them into their home. The children are playing a game of hide-and-seek and the youngest finds a wardrobe to hide in. Lucy travels in time in the wardrobe and she finds a place named Narna. She goes there twice and then the four children go together in time. They battle wolves, meet talking animals, encounter an evil white witch and meet a magnificent lion named Aslan. Will they continue to remain in Narna or will they return to their own time and place?
There is a LOT of wonder, magic and discovery in Narnia!! I could watch this film over and over. Each time you see and notice something you didn’t before. Great performances by Tilda Swinton, Liam Neeson and James McAvoy. 5* (I really liked this movie)
