A Great film for the whole family

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2005)

I saw this movie as an animated children's program about 20 years ago, so I knew the storyline pretty well. This version was brilliantly done, and the special effects really brought the original story to life. The acting was top draw, and the casting of Tilda Swinton as the White Witch was spot on, It was if the character was made for her. Filmed in New Zealand with spectacular scenery this movie was a real visual pleasure. Ray Winston and Dawn French were brilliant as the voices for Mr and Mrs Beaver, with Winstones cockney charm a delight for cinema goers. James Macavoy was splendid as the faun Mr Tumnus he really captured the essence of the character. And Liam Neeson was the perfect choice as the voice for Aslan.
The children were all very good and convincing in the parts they played. Especially little Lucy who was a real little cu-tie and perfect for the part. THE LION WITCH AND THE WARDROBE Is a Children's classic and this movie does it credit, an excellent movie I would recommend to everybody who enjoyed their childhood.
