My 3 rd grade son has read two of the Chronicles of Narnia books in his class, so this was like a field trip for him, his teacher and a few class mates. The children really enjoyed themselves, they really enjoyed knowing and seeing what they had read. So now I`m trying to use the "eyes of a child "when I see movies that are based on books. Over all I enjoyed the movie, and the principle message. This is a movie for the entire family.
