Lewis' timeless adventure follows the exploits of the four Pevensie siblings Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter in World War II England who enter their world through a magical wardrobe while playing a game of 'hide-and-seek' in the rural country home of an elderly professor. Once there, the children discover a charming, peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs and giants that has become a world cursed to eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. Under the guidance of a noble and mystical ruler, the lion Aslan, the children fight to overcome the White Witch's powerful hold over them in a spectacular, climactic battle that will free them from Jadis' icy spell forever.
