Like a Movie for Your Ears: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Audio Drama

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis. Audio drama by Focus on The Family.

Review: 

My favorite part of this audio drama was LittleMan pausing to declare he needed food because, and I quote, “There’s so much food in this book it’s making me hungry! Like all they do is eat and describe food! I need a bag of chips!” lol. In terms of accuracy to the book, this audio drama is closer to the book than the movie but not an exact narration. It’s not an audiobook so there is quite a bit left out. Despite this, we really enjoyed the audio play and recommend it to anyone who loves the original story. The pacing was good, the sound effects and music were never overpowering and the performances of the actors was really well done.

Possibly Concerning Content

• Violence: There is a war. It’s also got scary bits with the villain. The scene with the table (IFKYK) is just as sad here as it is in the movie/book.

• Magic: There is a witch who casts spells and is evil.

• Other: There is a Santa in this who gives the main characters gifts to help them on their adventure and proclaim the return of Aslan.
