    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The Professor hints that he is aware of Narnia's existence and that the wardrobe really is a magic portal. He is Digory the child from The Magician's Nephew. In this episodes he is transported to and witnesses the creation of Narnia. Towards the end of the book he returns with an apple that cures his sick Mother. He buries the apple core which grows into a tree. Some years later the tree is blown down and he commissions a wardrobe from the remaining wood.
    • Goofs
      At around 15 min into the film, when Lucy is at the wardrobe while she and the others are playing hide and seek, the left door on the wardrobe is open. Then in the next shot, both doors are closed just as she opens both doors.
    • Quotes
      • Lucy: [to Tumnus] You're not a bad faun at all! You're the nicest faun I've ever met.
    • Alternate versions
      A version was made for US TV with American voices replacing the British voices. That's why the cast list here has two performers listed for most characters
