Childhood fantasy comes to life!

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2005)

Words along do not justify this movie but I will do my best. First off, if you are a parent and thinking about bringing a small child under six there are a few scenes that might frighten the child or may not be suitable. There are a few frightening moments as well as intense battle scenes. Still it is a film that is very enjoyable and in the theater I was in there were several small children. (One parent behind me was explaining to the child the battle scenes to make sure the child didn't get scared.) For those never before introduced to The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe the movie does a wonderful job at explaining the story line so you can keep up with fans of the books and BBC versions of the film. For those who are fans of the books, this movie will not let you down! The special effects in this film are simply amazing as well as the costumes and makeup. Mr. Tumnus is charmingly handsome and Aslan is amazingly real. The actors, both real and animals/animated alike reach out to you and really make you feel like you are in Narnia. The acting was brilliant. Georgie Henley (Lucy)was adorable and the perfect Lucy while William Moseley (Peter)was more than astonishing.
I would recommend this film for everyone. For once you can forget about the worries of our own world and live in the magical world of Narnia.
