Synopsis: This animated film is based on the second in the series of books by British writer CS Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It is set during the German air raids of World War II, when the four Pevensie children -- Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy -- are sent out of London. They take shelter at the country home of eccentric Prof. Digory Kirke, who happens to be the owner of a curious wardrobe. One day, while playing hide and seek, Lucy, the youngest, finds that the wardrobe leads to a magical land called Narnia. However Narnia is being ruled by the evil White Witch who has made it snow for a hundred years, proclaiming that it will be always winter but never Christmas in the mystical land. According to an old prophecy, Edmund, Lucy, Peter and Susan are the "chosen ones" who will defeat the Witch. They are assisted by the true ruler of Narnia, the lion, Aslan. With the good Narnians on their side, the four children must now defeat the witch using all their strength and fulfill their destinies to become the new kings and queens of Narnia. |
