The Chronicles of Narnia
Produced by - Disney
Rating - PG
Favorite Features -
true to the book presentation of an all-time classic story
incredible location shots and amazing special effects
This is one movie every person needs to add to their DVD collection! The quality of the script, attention to detail, amazing ability of the children who played the roles of Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy and the genius of Disney in making films you believe to be real - even though there are computer animation and "green wall" special effects - all combine for one of the most amazing, best films I've ever reviewed! Even younger children can watch and enjoy this film as long as parents prepare their children for the scene where the wolves try to capture the children, the scene where the White Witch kills Aslan and the battle scene. Read the book to your children before they watch the movie and it is sure to be one of their life-long favorites! Beyond tremendously well done, Disney! I look forward to more movies from the remaining Chronicles of Narnia stories!
