I was the perfect age for 2005's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: eight years old. We read the novel in Mrs. Crawford's third-grade class (I asked for the rest of the series for Christmas) and took a class trip to see the movie when we were done. I was the coolest kid in class that day because, although we were provided with popcorn and a soda, I used some pocket money my grandmother gave me to buy Twizzlers, which I then passed out to the other boys under the condition they bite off either end and use it as a straw for their drink. To quote John Lennon, I was bigger than Jesus. Or Aslan.
