    Others who wrote reviews for this must have thought that this was the movie that was released in Dec 2005, but this is a documentary of the life of C.S. Lewis. It's told through pictures and no acting is involved. It doesn't provide much background or in depth analysis of "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" but it does discuss how he might have come up with the ideas - for about the first 20 minutes. Then it continues discussing his life after the book.

    This is a documentary on the life of the author of Chronicles of Narnia, with information concerning the Christian symbolism in his work. Interesting but not very insiteful.
