I think that someone should have made me an honorary citizen of Narnia by now. I’ve got a map of C.S. Lewis’ fantastical land hanging in my bedroom. I’ve read the books I don’t know how many times. (My favorite? The Silver Chair, no doubt.)
Alas, no matter how many wardrobes I open, no matter how many seafaring picture frames I try to leap into, I’ve not made my way in yet.
Which might make this Plugged In Rewind the next-best thing.
Our Rewind videos examine movies with a certain spiritual gravitas and take them deeper. And few movies have more clearly spiritual underpinnings than The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. How spiritual, you ask? Well, just ask … you, if you participated in our March Madness Christian Movie Bracket last year. Based on your votes, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe won the contest going away.
But today, we’ll be chewing on more than Turkish delight. Emily Tsiao and I tackle the movie’s resonant messages and powerful imagery, unpacking why this fantasy film is such a beloved classic in many homes. Take a look.

I liked the film; I just thought the Aslan-sacrifice scene was disproportionately intense compared to the rest of it. Contrast “Prince Caspian,” which felt like it had more fight scenes but they weren’t as individually intense or disturbing
