Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2006)

What all started as a simple game of hide-n-seek developed into a remarkable adventure. During World War II, a family of four children are sent to live with professor, little do they know this was the beginning of a unforgettable event. Based on a book by C.S. Lewis the Chronicles of Narnia takes you in an astonishing venture with Lucy, Edmond, Susie and Peter Pevensie, staying in this new house must abide to many rules; not touching, no yelling and especially to leave the professor alone. With all these regulations instituted the Pevensies still find many loopholes, during one of there games Lucy the smallest girl saunters into the wardrobe and is whisked into a different world. A snowy paradise, upon meeting Mr. Tumnus, a half human faun, she is kidnapped, yet upon her escape she makes her way back home. Edmond the second youngest stumbles upon this wonderland and meets the cause of all the troubles, the white witch, she befriends Edmund using some of his favorite food and offers him the position of king if he were to bring back the rest of his family. Eventually all four children walk into the terrain of Narnia and hear the background story from a friendly beaver about a prophecy, a king named Aslan and an army that could defeat the white witch. With the help from many creatures and witty plays, the kids start to bring spring back to Narnia and weaken the powers of the white witch. With an army of mystical creatures, talking animals and magical weapons the two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve go into battle to fulfill the prophecy, but do they succeed? I give this film 3 out of 4 'davids.' This is a movie to enjoy with everyone, the scenes were magnificent, the story line is amazing, plus the battle scenes are glorious and they didn't even use blood, this is a must see movie! If you enjoyed or are interested in this movie I would recommend; "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" ; "Harry Potter Series" and "Wizard of OZ."
