You know, I never saw that movie, Piper, but I remember Elsa the Lion Cub for some reason.

Me too. I never got to see the movie and I always wanted to. My parents used to take us to the Drive-In on weekends a lot and I guess we missed this one. It looked good in the previews.
This is one of my faves! The imagery is amazing and the story is wonderful. It definitely speaks to the child in me with the fantastical notion of being able to travel to a strange new world through a wardrobe! When I was a kid I used to hide in the closet and engage in all sorts of pretend adventures. It was more exciting when I visite either of my grandparents who had really old homes. If you can believe this, my the master bedroom in my mom parents house had a secret door which led to a staircase to the attic. What I would do to be that 6-year-old boy again is on beyond shameful. lol
Why don't I know of this movie? I'm glad you posted it. I think I should see it. I love the people who star in it. Both Caine and Duvall are great if you ask me. I looked it up and it even has Kyra Sedgewick. I used to love watching her in "The Closer" on TV.
Haley Joel Osment who stars in this is also the lead in one of my all time favorite movies...Steven Spielberg's "Artificial intelligence". Not to mention "The Sixth Sense" and "Pay It Forward".
I noticed Osment is depicted in the movie's promotional ad above. You know what this means don't you? You have officially posted a twink. LOL! Don't try to get out of it. It counts. Cause I said so.
REALLY? Nothing? LOL! I don't either. At least nothing about his personal life. Really not all that much about his professional work either since obviously I don't know the one you posted. I'm not sure if he's working all that much anymore. But now about you posting twinks...
Yes, Osment is working. He is in a new movie called "The Devil Has A Name" and he was in Amazon Prime series "The Boys". Alas, he has long left the land of Twinksylvania

Oh...this movie, for sure. I never see it around anymore but I used to hunker down in front of the TV every time it was broadcast on the local UHF station.
This MGM movie spurred a TV series called "Daktari' which featuring Clarence the cross-eyed lion and his pal, a mischievous Chimp called "Judy". It was a cute show about Dr. Marsh Tracy, a veterinarian running an animal sanctuary in Africa along with his daughter Paula, and some cute guy named "Jack" and their adventures,
