a great example of bringing fiction to life

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2009)

In recent years I have not been impressed with the efforts of Disney. It seems that their work has been void of new ideas and true quality (see the vast number of direct to video sequels). This film is a huge exception. This time Disney shines with all the potential the mega- company is capable of. It is often difficult to find a good film adaptation of a treasured novel. Regardless of how detailed an author's work, we all form different mental pictures of what it "should" look like. This film not only brought the characters and action to life but did so in a way that did not disappoint. This is the only time that I can honestly say that the movie was better than the original book. My only hope is that C.S. Lewis would have been proud.
