4.5 / 5

I think that the interpretation the movie director had was very close to how I pictured the book in my head. I loved that I could actually see the story on the big screen. And as for Aslan I thought that the choice on voice was perfect. Liam Neeson was a fantastic voice for Aslan, gentle yet firm, just as I imagined Aslan. Overall I love the movie it was very well done and I can't wait to see Prince Caspian in December!
