Today my son and I went to see the movie, The Chronicles of Narnia. It was everything and more than I had expected. I must confess that I have not read the Narnia series but my son is in the process of reading the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe and I have followed many of the commentary shows on it. Disney has captured the core of the Christian alagorical themes that C.S. Lewis worked so hard to convey. The Gospel is presented beautifully and innocently. The battle of good verses evil that is taking place daily in the spirit rhelm, is visually portrayed in a land where it is always winter and never Christmas.
My son said it all at the beginning of the movie when Lucy first ventured through the wardrobe into Narnia, "It looks just like I imagined it would". Thank you Disney creators for staying true the imagination of a child, the purpose of Lewis and the recognition that there is a Christian audience out there.
