| Two children, Eustace and Jill, are picked to save the prince's life from the evil witch. They are sent to Narnia, the magical place out of this world, by Aslan, the king of all Narnia. Aslan sends them there so that they would travel to the other side of Narnia into the witch's palace and defeat her, so they can have the prince back.
Eustace and Jill overcome huge obstacles, but in the end make it to the palace. When they reach the palace, the witch is waiting for them, waiting to kill them. She has her army try to kill them but Aslan comes and rescues them. As he fights them off, the children run inside and take the prince. The prince is free, and Aslan kills the witch. | ||
