Four siblings are sent to an ornate mansion to seek refuge during World War II. During a game of hide-and-seek, Lucy Pevensie ducks into a wardrobe and finds that it leads to the world of Narnia. There she meets a faun named Mr. Tumnus (McAvoy) and learns a little bit about this strange land. Before long, she returns to Narnia with her brothers Peter and Edmond and sister Susan and discover that Tumnus has been arrested by the white witch Jadis (Swinton). Making their way through Narnia, the Pevensie children meet talking animals and mythical creatures, and join forces in the good fight with the benevolent lion Aslan (voice by Liam Neeson) to save Narnia. But sacrifices will have to be made, and a traitor among the Pevensie children will carry a grave burden. The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe is based on the novel by C.S. Lewis. (Suzanne Hodges)
