|---|
Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan Pevensie are 4 siblings who end up in an eccentric professor's home because of World War II. While there, they stumble through a wardrobe into another land, Narnia. Narnia is currently ruled by a false queen, the White Jardis. She keeps Narnia under a perpetual winter. She wants to capture and kill the four kids, because their coming is the answer to a prophecy. Edmund betrays the other three, and the other three go to Aslan, the true ruler who is also a lion, for help.
