The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Four children walk through fur coats into a winter that has forgotten Christmas.
- PG
- 2h 23m
Andrew Adamson’s adaptation of Lewis is still the most watchable Narnia on film. Battle scenes and the Stone Table earn the PG. PureRated suggests 8+ and a parent for the sacrifice sequence — which is, of course, the reason to watch.
Cast Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Tilda Swinton
