Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In World War, the four Pevenses children: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are evacuated from London to the country house of an eccentric old professor. There, bored and restless, first Lucy and Edmund, and then all four of the kids make their way through an attic wardrobe in Narnia, a magical land of mythical creatures and talking animals. But Narnia is not perfect: it's always winter and never Christmas since the White Witch began her rule. And there are evil creatures as well as good, and a traitor in their midst. Only the return of Aslan can bring victory in the coming battle to win spring and freedom back to Narnia. 3x54min episodes. Written by Kathy Li |

| Trivia | Mr & Mrs Beaver's costumes were notoriously impractical in the snow. So much so that in outdoor scenes, a couple of assistants, nicknamed the "Beaver Retrievers" had to stand around to pick the actors up, if they slipped over. See more » |

| Quotes |
[the children and beavers are planning to go on the run to find Aslan and Mrs Beaver is insisting on taking loads of supplies]
Mrs. Beaver: I don't suppose the sewing machine is too heavy to take? Mr. Beaver: Yes it is! Anyway you didn't think you'd be able to use it when we were on the run now did you? Mrs. Beaver: I just can't abide the thought of that witch fiddling with it and breaking it or stealing it most likely as not. See more » |
