Advantages: All round family entertainment at its best with a fine story Disadvantages: maybe a little long for some
My daughter borrowed a DVD form one of her friends from school over the half term holidays and whinged until we all sat and watched it.
When I saw the title and read the ?blurb? I suddenly remembered that I had read something very similar, only it was entitled ?The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe?, the only mention of Narnia was in the movie itself and not the title, from what I could recollect.
Anyway, I remembered that I found C.S. Lewis?s ?Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe? a very good book indeed many years ago, (see, my memory does go way back), so I happily sat down with the family and watched this posher titled movie, hoping that I, and especially the kids, would not be disappointed.

I purchased the item online at Littlewoods for a sales price of £199 which became £156.20 after several customer discounts (vouchers etc.).
I found the price to be reasonable having shopped around for weeks and not being able to find anything as nice looking as this wardrobe in the same price range. Similar items were a lot more expensive, so I was pleased with my "bargain".
Once the item was received though, I was shocked about how labour intensive the assembly was. The instructions were extremely difficult to make out and consisted of several pages of pictures ending up in a very comprehensive booklet. So, I decided to send the kids with my partner on a trip to ...
