The Homeschoolers' View: Narnia Film Trilogy Review - Podcast


Hello, this is HHC_Snowman and Airdog giving you our third podcast of The Homeschoolers' View with our thoughts and review on the Narnia Film Trilogy produced by Walden Media and based on the much loved children's fantasy-adventure books - The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.

Or if you don't have time for that, here's the conclusion:

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars - Faith-Filled, Deep, Awesome Action Scenes, but you should watch it with your parents if you're under 14 to 15 years old.

Prince Caspian
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars - The Same Can Be Said For This Film, but it loses half a star because of the ridiculousness of the romance in the film.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars - Awesome Like The First Film, but it gains half a star because of the amazing message it offers its viewers.

Disclaimer: You may disagree with us on the exact rating that each film deserves, but I think we can all agree that all three films are awesome. This is merely our opinion. Thank you.
