The Chronicles Of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe [2005] (DVD)

C S Lewis' series featuring the fantasy land of Narnia has been much loved by children and adults alike for many years. There have been TV adaptations made of the books, but never a feature film.

In a fit of boredom, what with the rain and everything, I decided to escape the dreary estate I live on and transport myself to another realm. Seeing as I do not own a TARDIS I settled for 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'.

The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, The witch and The Wardrobe is something which I vaguely remember watching when I was little. There was a television series on every weekend but now all these years later I cannot remember what happened in the end so when I came across this DVD I decided to give it a watch. Hubby was very pleased with my film choice as well as he too watched this when he was little. The film is set around 4 children, Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter who are evacuated during the blitz and end up living in a massive house which belongs to a Professor. To entertain themselves they decide to play hide and seek. It is Lucy who finds a massive ...  Read the complete review
