The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis is the story of four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy who discover the world of Narnia through a game of hide-n-seek. Lucy is the first to visit Narnia, a world of fauns, witches, and magic, when she hides in the wardrobe. Lucy meets a faun, Mr. Tumnus, whom she soon discovers is working for the White Witch. None of the other children believe her when she tries to tell them about the magical land. Edmond finds his way to Narnia as well, and meets the White Witch. She gives him Turkish Delight and tells him to bring back his brother and sisters. She tells him if he does she will give him more of the enchanted candy and make him king of Narnia. Edmond first lies about being in Narnia, but is found out after all the children enter together. Once in Narnia they go to Mr. Tumnus cave to find it ransacked and him being held captive by the White Witch because he did not arrest Lucy. The children decide to try and help the faun because he had been kind to Lucy and not turned her over to the Witch. They meet a family of beavers that are too, against the Witch, and wind up fighting on the side of the forces of Aslan, a lion, the true King of Narnia.
The movie stays pretty true to the book. There were little things. Like who gave Aslan the potion, and if
Aslan is alive or still dead when the war begins, the magic was interpr
eted different in the movie then the book, a dwarf shaved Aslan instead of the Queen, Edmond sat in the Queens chair, Mrs. Beaver not sewing, how they escaped with the beavers...nothing that affects the content of the story, just things I noticed.
Both the movie and the book are excellent. The characters in the movie were just as they were described in the book. They were amazing. I found it hard to believe that they were computer generated, they were so realistic. Aslan was awesome!!
