Movie of the Week: The Chronicles of Narnia
The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a beautiful movie based on the book. I loved this book growing up and Disney has done a phenomenal job of bringing it to life. Everything about this is just so well done from the music and characters to the fantasy effects and scenery. It really is a joy to watch, especially if you loved the books. It is sure to be a hit with your child as well.
For those who don’t know what this movie is about here is a brief description:
The movie follows the four Pevensie children, Lucy, Peter, Edmund, and Susan, and their adventures in the mystical world of Narnia. When they are sent to the British countryside for their own safety during the blitz of World War II, they discover an old wardrobe is an entryway into a mystical world . Narnia is filled with mystical creatures suffering under the hundred-year rule of the cruel White Witch. The arrival of the children gives the creatures of Narnia hope for liberation, and all are dragged into the inevitable conflict between evil (the Witch) and good (Aslan the Lion.)
I really hope you enjoy this one. Again, it is available for rent at Netflix.com (just click on the link to join).
