Chronicles a fantastic adaptation!

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2006)

Because the book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is such a short novel, the director had an excellent opportunity to include all the details from the book. In the two hours of the movie we get everything from the actual book including a couple of areas of "fleshing out," like a little bit of back story of the Pevencies and some reasoning for Edward's bratty behaviors. Aslan is truly realistic in the way the CG teams make his features emote, just as he would in our minds' eye when we read the book. His roar is, fierce, his sensitivity is touching. In his face the audience knows what he is trying to convey. All in all the movie brings to life a story so full of adventure and beauty, only before seen in our imaginations. I loved it as much as the book!
