Overwiew :C.S. Lewis' 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' was first published in 1950 and is the second installment of the writer's legendary seven-part 'Chronicles of Narnia' series. The book tells the story of Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, who are separated from their parents in London during the German air raids of World War II. They are sent to the country for safety and find a magic wardrobe that transports them to the mystical world of Narnia, a once peaceful land of talking beasts, dwarfs and giants. However, Narnia has been frozen by the evil White Witch, and the kids must help the lion Aslan break her spell.

www.boxoffice.com - : The first book in C. S. Lewis' beloved ''Chronicles of Narnia'' has, much like a famous fantasy by another Oxford scholar, now received full feature film treatment. Evacuated to an elderly professor's estate during World War II, London siblings Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley) discover access to the magical world of Narnia through a wardrobe. The White Witch (Tilda Swinton), self-proclaimed empress of the land, has cursed the place so that it's always winter there yet never Christmas. But Narnia's true king, the lion Aslan, is on the move, and the children learn they have crucial parts to play in freeing Narnia from its snowy spell. more...
movie-reviews.colossus.net - : As the bean counters toil, Eustace waits. So does Jill. And Polly and Digory, too. Walden Media has optioned all seven of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia books, but whether the other six (or, more likely, five - since The Horse and His Boy seems an unlikely choice to film) make it to the screen will depend heavily on how much money The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe earns. If the movie scores big with audiences, we will likely be watching Prince Caspian in another two or three years. more...
