The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Four young war evacuees are transported to the magical land of Narnia, where they join the noble lion Aslan to overthrow the White Witch (Tilda Swinton).

Enchanting children's fantasy, based on the classic novel by CS Lewis.

When young Second World War evacuee Lucy Pevensie hides in an old wardrobe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finds herself transported to the magical land of Narnia, locked in eternal winter by the evil White Witch.

Her siblings do not believe her when she tells them of this strange new world, but they are soon in Narnia themselves, fighting alongside the noble lion Aslan to defeat the witch and her mighty army.
