Superb adaptation of C.S. Lewis's classic first book!

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2006)

During WWII four children named Peter (William Moseley), Lucy (Georgie Henley), Susan (Anna Popplewell) and Edmund (Skander Keynes) are sent to live with a professor until the war is over. One day while being bored, Lucy while playing hide and seeks hides into the wardrobe that leads her into another world called Narnia inhabited by magical creatures especially a goat-like being named Mr. Tumnus (James Avery) where it's leader whom is a powerful Lion named Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson). Later as the children go into the wardrobe with Lucy they find themselves on the adventure of a lifetime as they join with Aslan and his rebels against the White Witch (Tilda Swanton) to free Narnia.
An elaborately well done adaptation of the classic C.S. Lewis fantasy novel which was actually the second of the book series will lead into a new cinematic fantasy franchise like "Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "Harry Potter". The kids acted quite well unlike some kid actors and the effects were masterfully done by Weta and ILM with make-up by Robert Kurtzman, like the book and animated movie that came before this it has a religious allegory to the film even on the theme of death and resurrection.
The Director Andrew Adamson ("Shrek") accomplished everything to bring the beloved fantasy novel to the big screen in a successful way, i'd say thank you Adamson and team for making a great movie for the fans of the genre and can't wait for the sequel "Prince Caspien" in 2008.
A must see!
