“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (2005)” Movie

On Sunday, I saw the movie “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (2005)”, which starred: Tilda Swinton, Georgie Henley, William Moseley, Skandar Keynes and Anna Popplewell.

The storyline involved the following: “Who wouldn’t want to discover a magical world inside their own closet? Lewis tapped into this childlike wonderment when he wrote The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 1950, his first of seven adventures into Narnia, and the movie picks it right up. Its starts with the four Pevensie siblings—Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and little Lucy (Georgie Henley)—who are sent from war-torn London to stay in a country home during WWII. Once there, the children stumble upon the enchanted wardrobe that leads them to Narnia, a fairytale realm of mythical proportions. But Narnia has fallen under the icy curse of the evil White Witch (Tilda Swinton)—and only the two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve can break the spell. Now, with Narnia's rightful leader—the wise and mystical lion Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson)—by their side, the four children find strength to defeat the witch and lead Narnia into a brand new era. [Cue the sound of trumpets].”

I give the movie an “A”, and the movie is worth the price of an admission ticket, a large popcorn, a large soft drink and a small soft drink. The movie was entertaining and inspiring.
