The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
During World War II, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are evacuated from London, little dreaming of the magical adventures that lie ahead. In the fantasy realm of Narnia, the children team up with a wise lion named Aslan, among other creatures, to battle the White Witch, who has turned the once beautiful land into frost.
Prince Caspian / The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Prince Caspian of Narnia wonders and dreams about the old days when animals talked, and there were mythical creatures and four rulers in Caer Paravel. But his uncle and aunt don't like to hear him thinking of such things, and plan to murder him and take his throne. Caspian's tutor Dr Cornelius manages to save him, and not only teach him about the old ways, but bring him into and introduce him to the real Narnia. But Caspian's plight is desperate, and he must use the legendary horn to call help from another world: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Lucy and Edmund are sent back to Narnia, along with their cousin Eustace, to assist Caspian on a voyage. Along their journey the children battle dragons and sea serpents, and sail across a golden lake to reach the edge of the world.
