Star Rating: 
10 out of 10
At some point during this movie adaptation of C.S. Lewis' beloved series of pseudo-Christian children's books—after the talking beavers run from the angry wolves but before thousands of magical computer-generated animals reenact the fight scene from Braveheart—you're going to realize why today's kids would rather rent DVDs than read a literary classic. The extras clock in at just under 10 hours, making this two-disc set a fantasy geek's paradise. Hang with the actors who endured hours of makeup sessions to transform into the freaks of Narnia or learn the lay of the land with a painstakingly detailed interactive map. If you still want more after the second disc, go to Bed Bath & Beyond and get your own damn magical wardrobe.
