Did this seem to anyone else to be just a complete ripoff of the whole narnia thing. the children go to this new house where the owner is kinda a prick. find another dimention, and in the end find out that the guy was nice anyways.
I dont have a drinking problem I have a YOU problem.
ugh nooooo the coolness of it didnt need to be copied and besides, it was written wayyy before narnia and came out wayyyy before narnia i think narnia copied of it
where do you think uncle keeps his really big hammers???
Yeah, I thought that too. Also, (in Narnia) Peter and Edmund have a little argument and Edmund storms out of the bedroom. That same thing happened with Cyrill and Robert. Robert storms out of the bedroom. When I saw that part, i immediately thought of Narnia LOL
thats cool I can handle that it was written first, I just saw narnia first. whatever i didnt care for the new narnia much myself (i am forever a fan of the bbc version.)
All hail the teachings of the great Jess Christ. ƒ

That doesen't sound anything like Five Children and It. The owner of the house was their parents and they weren't pricks (neither was the professor in LWW), they didn't find another dimension, they found a Psammead that grants wishes. LWW is about 4 kids that walk through a Wardrobe and find another world. They're nothing alike at all.
If these were all plot changes made by the movie (I haven't seen it), than I guess you could say it was ripped off from Narnia, considering this movie was made in 2004.
I noticed many similarities between this film and Narnia, but the book this film is (very loosely) based on is nothing like Narnia. Unfortunately, the filmmakers changed this so that the story is almost unrecognizable when compared to the book. Perhaps the filmmakers wanted to echo Narnia, so they changed this story accordingly.
Narnia the book(s) and Five Children and It the book(s)? Nothing alike. The movies? I completely see the similarities. Honestly, not a very good adaptation of FCAI.
