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.

Omg could it have been any better?!?!?!!! - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Reviews
I'm still on a high, i got home only half an hour ago.
There was a little girl in front of me in the queue for tickets tonight, she was anxious and asking her dad how long it would be till she could see this film, she said "i've been waiting all week!" I tapped her on the shoulder and said, "I've been waiting most of my life!!"
And golly was the wait worth it. Characters could not have been more perfectly cast. As with Lord of the Rings, it was as if the casting director had reached in my head and taken my images of the characters and made them flesh! Even the CGI characters were perfect, and as for Aslan.. well, you have to se it to understand.
There are many comparisons and references to Narnia and Lord of the rings, and there are similarities of course as Lewis and Tolkien were best friends and founding members of a writing club that met in pubs to share their stories in England back in the day.
I cannot recommend highly enough this film and the message it conveys. GO AND SEE IT!!
