I have read and been read the Chronicles of Narnia since I was a child. My mother read them to my brothers and me long before we could even read. The greatest advantage of have a great imigination is that you don't only read a book you see, hear, feel and even live it. I have lived Narnia. I knew that the movie would have to be something amazing to come close to matching my expectations. It surpassed them. It is an amazing work of art. The Pevensie children were exactly as I had thought them to be in my childhood imaginings. The effects and animation were some of the best that I believe I have ever seen.
So, hats of to an insirational book and movie that is indeed in a world of it own.
