The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a movie based on a book, the classic C.S. Lewis books, following almost every detail closely. Great elements of fantasy, a well developed world and excellent characters like Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, four London children who are send to the country house of their eccentric uncle Prof. Digory Kirke, because of the War World II.

The life of the four children become a boring one, but that only until Lucy - the curious girl - discovers a wardrobe that leads to a magical world called Narnia, where animals can talk and all are ruled over by the wise lion Aslan. Unfortunately the charming, peaceful land - the children discovered - has been cursed by evil White Witch, Jadis, with a perpetual winter and anyone who doesn’t obey is turned into stone. Guided by a noble lion Aslan and his animals, the children fight to vanquish Jadis.
However, only some of computer animation scenes in “The Chronicles of Narnia” looked realistic but through its subject can easily pass as an entertaining family holiday movie.
