The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

 After listening to the audiobooks (and starting to read the books) of the Narnia series we reckoned our kid would be ready to watch the movie.  I think director Adam Adamson captured the magical atmosphere of my imagination's Narnia although the movie moved along a little slowly.

Our kid felt like the movie depiction of Narnia lived up to her imagination too and she enjoyed it but she really didn't like the scene where Aslan is killed by the White Witch (plot spoiler) and she couldn't watch it. 

Rating: Worth seeing the movie if you are fan of the books but I think we will leave it for a good few years before we watch it again.  Too slow for repeat viewings.

Naughty bits:  There are some mature themes (war/oppression), violence and scary animal moments but no sexy-time concerns.

Snacks:  Turkish Delight

Family In-quotes: "Come on, humans. While we're still young!"
