The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

Based on the novel by C.S. Lewis (1st ed. 1950).

Spoilers ahead.

Some kids find a magic land inside a wardrobe. An evil witch is trying to overthrow the lion king.

This is possibly the kitschiest fantasy I have seen. Elements from totally different cultural sources are put together without much criterion. Basically we have a lion as Jesus. A boy is Judas Iscariotes, his betrayal is forgiven, his brother says he had been too harsh on him. The witch doesn't care for prisoners.

Rating: 36
