• small, minor & Disneyfied fantasy flick, don't expect LotR-type classic
  Like "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Wizard of Oz" and "Harry Potter" series, "Narnia" creates its own fantasy universe with its own set of facts and realities. Narnia is a vast land of snow and glaciers, where a wide variety of magical and mythological creatures such as fauns, centaurs, cyclops, griffins, dwarves, rhinos, beavers, wolves and other kinds of beasts live in.

The two extra disks offer an agreeable and solidly-researched documentary on Lewis and the Chronicles (very little that will be news to anyone who's done their homework, but nice all the same) and a 150 minute "making of"... more info
