The Story
When the four Pevensie children are evacuated to the country during the air raids of WWII, they discover a wardrobe that transports them to a magical land called Narnia.​

In Narnia they meet all kinds of incredible creatures. But Narnia is ruled by an evil White Witch who vows that the land shall always be winter and never Christmas.

​The children must grow up quickly as they learn hard lessons about loyalty and sacrifice. 

​Fighting a battle of good versus evil, they join with the mightly lion Aslan to defeat the White Witch and return Narnia to its original glory.
