While there, Lucy accidentally makes her first voyage into Narnia through the magical wardrobe, which Digory had built using wood from a Narnian tree. Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter Pevensie are sent out of the city to stay with Professor Digory Kirke in the country, in order to keep them safe during the bombings.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe takes place in England in 1940, in the midst of the London Blitz. So without further ado, here’s when each film takes place in Narnia time, real-world time, and how they relate to one another.

Of course, transitioning fantasy from page to screen can mean some changes, so what about the films? The first three books – The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader – were all adapted by Walden Media during the early 2000s, and their specific portion of the saga’s timeline can be a bit confusing. In the real world, that same time only covers 50 years. In the books, the Narnia story covers the entire life of the world, with The Last Battle detailing the end of the magical world some 2500 years after its creation by Aslan. However, a span of 1000 years passes during that same time in Narnia. The real-world parts of The Magician’s Nephew are set in 1900, 40 years before the events of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

The book tells the story of Digory Kirke (the boy who would become the owner of the titular wardrobe) and his friend Polly, who use magic rings to access a transdimensional nexus called “The Wood Between the Worlds.” The Wood is full of pools that act as portals to other realms, one of which is the yet-to-be-born world of Narnia. Lewis’s prequel novel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the author drops a few hints. The exact nature of Narnia is, naturally, unclear, but the books give a bit more insight. But how long exactly do they escape for? How does the Narnia timeline work in the movies? And how does it tie back to the Pevensies' story and personal growth when they're back in the human world? It’s about four kids struggling to hold onto their childhood in the middle of a war and the fantastical place that lets them be something more than scared. After all, Narnia is in many ways a story about escape. The timeline of The Chronicles of Narnia movies can be a bit confusing, especially because it's really two timelines: the story of Narnia, and the story of Earth.
