A Great, Family Friendly Movie For All Ages!

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2007)

From adding the Blitz, to extending the battle, and warming your heart at the end, this movie is one of the best family films ever produced! Based on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which over 40 million copies have been sold, Disney takes C. S. Lewis' Best Selling children's book, waves the magic wand over it, and brings it to life! The Actors, William Mosley as Peter, Anna Popplewell as Susan, Skander Keynes as Edmund, and Georgie Henley as Lucy, were outstanding! Andrew Adamson did an amazing job as the director, and extra credit to him, because this was his first live action film ever produced. That was the big question, He did great with the Shrek movies, BUT, how is he going to do with live action movies? He didn't do it just to do it, he did it from his heart, and that is what makes a great film. The special effects were also amazing, being done with care and the latest technology. Also, the fine details weren't minimized, but maximized. For example, in the beaver's house, they could have skimped by without adding the things that the book said the beavers had in their house. They also could have left the wolves tails unchanged, wagging like a puppy's, chasing after a ball or toy. The story itself is a big part, a story that teaches an important lesson, touches your heart, and builds your courage and character. All around, it's a great film, and a must see for everyone. That's why it came in first place in family films in 2005. That's why there's a special four disk special edition available. That's why over 40 million copies have been sold. And that's why I'm typing this today. But don't take my word for it, See for yourself what I mean. I'm sure you'll agree.
