An animated fantasy directed by Bill Melendez.
A group of children walk through the back of a magical wardrobe and into a "hidden world of awesomeness" where they must help a Christ-figure lion to defeat an evil witch.
The '70s animation style in this is so raw and primitive that it's cool. The plot and characters come from the original book, published in 1950. I thought that the plot was a little simple and stereotypical, but still nice for entertainment. Aslan is the fabled "savior" lion who is sacrificed by the witch, only to return from the dead. Some people equate this to Jesus and I know there are other similarities, but can't think of them now. I grew up with this, so I'm rating it good for sentimental value.
