Recently released on Blu-ray disc just in time to coincide with the theatrical sequel is 2005's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe . The two disc set features all of the extras on the previous original theatrical DVD release, as well as a few little Blu-ray bonuses.

The film's story is well known by now: the four Pevensie children are whisked away to the magical land of Narnia (which is inhabited by fawns, centaurs, talking animals, and other fantastical creatures) which is currently under the spell of everlasting winter at the hand of the evil White Witch (Tilda Swinton). With the help of the great lion Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson) the children must help the Narnian's break free of the witch's spell. Running about 142-minutes long, the film is never slow or boring, but suffers from a feeling that almost everything was done too easily. That's not a completely fair statement, since the filmmakers obviously put a lot of effort into it - I just meant thta things seem to take the expected path every step along the way. The children never truly feel in peril, and things seem rather simplified story-wise, although the Christianity allegories still remain faithful to the novel. The children who play the leads are quite good, and the main message points of C.S. Lewis's novel comes through quite clearly.
