Four young adventurers playing hide-and-seek in the country home of an old professor stumble upon an enchanted wardrobe that will take them places they never dreamed. Stepping through the wardrobe door, they are whisked out of World War II London into the spectacular parallel universe known as Narnia--a fairy-tale realm of magical proportions where woodland animals talk and mythological creatures roam the hills. But Narnia has fallen under the icy spell of a mad sorceress, cursed to suffer through a winter that never ends by the White Witch Jadis. Now, aided by Narnia's rightful leader, the wise and mystical lion Aslan, the four Pevensie children will discover their own strength and lead Narnia into a spectacular battle to be free of the Witch's glacial enslavement forever.

Made this 37 year old feel 12 again... - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Reviews
I couldn't wait for the midnight show opening day...and I wanted to watch it again as soon as it was over at 2:30 AM!
No other written fiction captured my imagination as a boy as did the Chronicles of Narnia. I was nervous that I'd be let down.
I wasn't!
This movie has brought the books to life and has just lept to the head of my all time favorite list.
I was fortunate to have a handful of movies that struck me as a young man with a nearly "life changing" force (my list included movies like Star Wars, Superman) those movies stuck with me for days or weeks...but since I entered my teen years no movie had since gripped me the same way until today.
I'm not a big fan of "christian" movies that only preach at you, but I love any movie that is honest about human emotion -and this film is.
If you ever dreamed of great achievement in your youth...
If you ever wanted to be the hero...
If you ever messed up bad and needed to feel forgiven...
You'll love this film.
I give it my first ever A+ rating accross the board.
See this film and take the kids.
