Andrew Adamson

The perfect sort of movie to pay attention to in the back of a minivan.

Though Adamson lacks Lewis' storytelling confidence...The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe still comes across as a quirkily diverting children's entertainment.

Adamson is willing to jettison Lewis' 'quaint' (I'd say loveable) whimsy and mythical acumen in favor of more martial sequences that'll sucker in the Lord of the Rings crowd.

Now that the Shrek franchise has come to a close, it's time for the definitive collection on home video.
