The animation of the animals was good, but still aren't quite perfect, though I attribute this to an attempt to make them seem a little more human. The scenery is magnificent in almost every way and it simply adds to the wonder of this film.
This film opens with the Nazi bombing of London during World War II, and then the mass evacuation of children to the countryside to escape the destruction, so i strongly encourage parents of kids to discuss this particular aspect of WWII before going. I heard many of the kids in the theater asking about this part of the film, and know it could be quite disconcerting to the younger kids when they learn that kids were being relocated if they do not understand what is happening and why.

Plot: Sent to the countryside during World War II, four children stumble upon a wardrobe in the old mansion they are residing in. Not just Any wardrobe, this one takes them to a world of fantasy and adventure, one where they are destined to become saviors to the peoples in a classic raging battle between good and evil. C.S Lewis' classic tale is brought to the big screen for a new generation to enjoy.
