Four siblings are sent away from home during the blitz of WWII. They are sent to be watched over by an old Professor Kirke, who owns a massive mansion in the English countryside. Once there, they stumble upon an enormous wardrobe which transports them to the world of Narnia. Narnia itself was once a peaceful realm filled with talking animals, fauns, Giants and dwarves that is now under a cursed eternal winter by the villainous White Witch. With aid from the majestic lion Aslan who's desire it is to free narnia from an evil enchantment; he knows that in order to restore freedom and order a sacrifice must be made, and he freely sacrifices himself, the four lead Narnia into an all out war as they fight to outwit the Witch and restore peace to the land.
