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.

I loved the BBC version they used to show on PBS and surely this film will reach such a great level. I can't wait to see the other adaptations.
This truly is a wonderful time in film where they are doing epics that truly get an epic look. One can only guess what epics they'll want to make 20 years from now.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

The new film looks just incredible. I didn't watch all of the BBC series, but I think I'll be in the theatres this winter enjoying this movie TOTALLY, from what I get based on the trailer.
I am DIEING to see this movie I saw the original in the 5th grade and I still remember it. A friend of mine and I rented it a while back because I had this nagging urge to watch it again I'm really looking forward to seeing this new version of it
It's black. It's shiny. I'm keeping it!

I've read the first two books, which I own. But, I KNOW that the entire collection is wrapped, and under our xmas tree. Can't wait to read the last five!

N, you have to tell us what you think. I loved the series. It was totally cool with a great message in it. My son can't wait for our movie night out to see it.
