So many British movies are filled with so much enchantment that you could watch them all year round and it wouldn’t seem strange to indulge with a hot cup of chocolate and a mince pie whilst watching them. One movie that displays that more than any, is 2005’s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

The Disney movie is based upon the books of C.S. Lewis and directed by Shrek and Shrek 2 director Andrew Adamson. Since the majority of the movie takes place in Narnia - a magical land filled with snow, talking animals and even Father Christmas himself - it's pretty much the perfect Christmas movie with nothing to do with Christmas.

The bonding of the brothers and sisters across the film's story is also joyous to behold, as we see the growth of their characters individually and also how they grow as a team to come together to save Narnia.

A reboot of the franchise is currently in development with Netflix, with Coco's Matthew Aldrich overseeing these new movies.
