THE JUNGLE BOOK is a more dramatic, 2016 live-action remake of Disney’s 1967 cartoon classic about an Indian boy raised by wolves who comes into conflict with an evil tiger that wants to kill the little “man cub.” THE JUNGLE BOOK is an instant family classic with lots of exciting action, wonderful special effects, a superb script, excellent performances, funny subplots, and a Proto-Christian message that disobeying the natural moral law brings death and places everyone in danger. Some intense action warrants caution for younger children.

THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, based on C. S. Lewis’s popular Christian fable, tells the story of four English children, who enter the land of Narnia, where they meet Aslan, the son of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea, who rescues the land from the evil White Witch. Despite some minor changes from the book, THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE retains most of its Christian focus and is tremendously exciting, thrilling and redemptive.
