The story takes place in post-war London, where two kids, Polly Plummer and Digory Kirke, discover a magic laboratory in Digory's Uncle Andrew's attic. They find a series of gold rings that allow them to journey to other worlds, where they meet various characters, including the lion Aslan and the witch-queen Jadis. As they travel through different dimensions, they must navigate the consequences of their actions and the power of the magic they have discovered.
The film is a prequel to the other Narnia stories and explores the backstory of the magical world. It is a cosmic rock opera, influenced by the British rock scene of the 1960s and 1970s, and features a banging soundtrack. The film's trailer has been viewed over 481 million times, making it one of the most popular trailers of the year.
The film has not yet received an official age rating from the BBFC, but it is expected to be suitable for the whole family. The director, Greta Gerwig, took inspiration from glam-rock icon David Bowie to design the new Aslan, who will have different-colored eyes, a red facial flash, and his own signature tune.
