The Chronicles Of Narnia – The Lion, The Witch And The
Wardrobe (BBC)
This breathtaking production of C.S.Lewis's powerful fantasy adventure for
all ages uses live-action, animation, and stunning special effects to recreate
the most exciting and enchanting story of all. Narnia is a magical world, a land
of dwarves, nymphs, and giants, a bewitched land where fauns carry umbrellas and
brew tea, where animals talk and horses fly. It is the land of Aslan, the great
lion who can warm the coldest heart. It is also the land of Lion's arch-enemy,
the White Witch who ensures that in Narnia it is always winter but never
Christmas.
It is a quiet day in the countryside when Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy
stumble through the back of an old wardrobe into the enchanted land of Narnia.
When the White Witch learns of their presence, their lives are in danger, but
there is talk that Aslan is on the move…Spring is in the air – but the
White Witch tightens her grip and plans the destruction of the children and
Aslan. Her triumph looks certain but the magnificent Aslan risks everything and
calls on the Deeper Magic from Before the Dawn of Time.

weight of our expectations, and that won't disappoint younger audiences.
