Beautifully shot. This film is a visual feast, faithful to the story and intent of Mr. Lewis. I found myself drawn in and carried away to Narnia. I took my family with a 10 yr old and a 4yr old. The 4 yr old typically takes about six potty breaks during a film. She was so taken in that we had one break early and then one near the end when she was fighting her bladder to say. For this child, that really says something! Themes of good and evil, clear messages of right and wrong, trust and humility, personal desire verses sacrifice for the greater good are all great reason why this high adventure should top your list of summer family films.
