The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
During the war, the four Pevensie children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, are sent to stay with Professor Kirke in his mansion in the country.
What the children don't know, however, is that Professor Kirke once had a great adventure in a land called Narnia, and he planted a seed in our world from a magical apple that he was given in Narnia. When the tree was sadly blown over in a gale, Professor Kirke had the wood made into a grand wardrobe.
Naturally, the wardrobe is magical too.

The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a well-made version of CS Lewis's classic children's book. Tilda Swinton is excellent as the White Witch, and while the child actors are still green, they do a fair job on these difficult roles.
See how they've grown up!
