Beautifully done, a wonderful adaptation sure to please!

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2005)

This movie is a beautiful retelling of the original story, "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" which was my favorite childhood book. Of course there are some slight omissions and additions, but it stays true to the book for the most part. Rupert Everett's fox character was my favorite addition. I do love Liam Neeson as Aslan but personally, I think he could have made Aslan stronger and less subdued. Tilda Swinton is fabulous and believable as the White Witch. She is beautiful and yet does a terrific job of invoking fear as well. The children were wonderfully casted but Susan's character could have been a bit less whiny. Father Christmas was perfectly portrayed. I cried, I laughed and wanted to see more. Remember to stay in the theater to watch the credits! Hopefully, there will be more movies in this series to come and I do hope they win some Oscars. A perfect holiday movie to bring your children to!
