Now on DVD: the spectacular new film of C.S. Lewis’s masterpiece of Christian fantasy

The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe DVD
by Andrew Adamson, Director
Christians and others who treasure C.S. Lewis’s “Chronicles of Narnia” series of children’s books had good reason to fear what Hollywood might do with it. Would the films remain faithful to the books? Would they communicate Lewis’s profound Christian vision? Would they retain their sense of wonder? If the first film in the series is any indication, the answer to all three questions is a resounding yes! And now, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is available in a deluxe DVD featuring commentary by the filmmakers and a host of other “extras.”
With stunningly realistic special effects, your family will experience the exploits of Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter -- four siblings who find the world of Narnia through a magical wardrobe while playing a game of "hide-and-seek" at the country estate of a mysterious professor. Once there, the children discover a charming, once peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs, and giants that has been turned into a world of eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. Aided by the wise and magnificent lion Aslan, the children lead Narnia into a spectacular climactic battle to be free of the Witch's glacial powers forever.
“Delightful and instructive. From the moment little Lucy wanders into Narnia through the wardrobe full of fur coats, it’s pure enchantment. Along with her sister and two brothers, Lucy is thrust into a monumental struggle of good and evil in a magical realm. There’s Christian symbolism in the noble Aslan, who sacrifices himself to atone for another’s sins –- hardly surprising, as the tale comes from the pen of the greatest Christian apologist of the 20th century. The movie, which can be enjoyed on any number of levels, speaks of temptation, sin and redemption. If you don’t love it, I can only assume you’re one of the secret police in the service of the White Witch.” -- –Don Feder, FrontPageMag.com
