The classic children's book series The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis has been made into a magical film. Four children are sent to a professor's country house during World War II. What's beyond the wardrobe?
---------------------------------



Look familiar? The half man half horse Mr Tummus is played by James McAvoy who was Steve in the Shameless TV series.

----------------------------------


The wardrobe in the professor's house leads to a magical other world. The film was directed by Andrew Adamson who also directed the fairytale inspired Shrek and Shrek 2.


----------------------------------



Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmund arrive in a winter wonderland called Narnia filled with mystical creatures and even Father Christmas.

---------------------------------



The wardrobe is owned by Professor Digory Kirke who is played by Jim Broadbent, who played Del Boy's enemy Inspector Slater in BBC comedy series Only Fools and Horses.

---------------------------------



The lands of Narnia are ruled over by a wicked white witch, who turns those who disagree with her into stone.

------------------------------



The children must join forces with Aslan the Lion to defeat the witch. The Lion is voiced by Liam Neeson.

-----------------------------



The four child stars are unknowns apart from Anna Popplewell who plays Susan - she was in Girl with a Pearl Earring.

-----------------------------



The English actress Tilda Swinton plays the formidable white witch Jadis. You may recognise her from Constantine or The Beach.

Read them all, when I was younger, starting with the Magician's Nephew. I've also read them to my children and have the BBC series. I am looking forward to the new movie.

   

Have read the entire series many times..just love them. I usually don't like film adaptations of books, but the previews for this one look good.
