The Wardrobe was a magical portal in Professor Kirke's House that linked Earth to the world of Narnia, if only for a short time.
History
The wardrobe was commissioned by Professor Digory Kirke sometime before the Second World War. Its origins, however, stretched back many years earlier to Digory's own adventure in Narnia.
During that adventure, Aslan had sent Digory to retrieve an apple from a magic tree and bring it back to him. After Digory did so, the apple was planted in the ground and grew into a beautiful tree with silver bark, known as the Tree of Protection. This tree acted like a shield, keeping the witch Jadis out of Narnia for many years after it was planted.
Aslan later gave an apple from the Tree of Protection to Digory. When he returned to London and gave the apple to his mother who, after eating it, was cured of her long and debilitating sickness. Afterwards, Digory burried the apple core in his backyard, and it grew into a tree as well - a daughter tree to the one that had grown in Narnia. Sometimes the apple tree would creak and move, as if being blown in the wind - when there wasn't any; as if it could feel the winds that blew its mother tree.
How audiences know Mr. Bobinsky is Russian not only has to do with his accent, but the medal that he proudly wears on his shirt. Even while wearing a dirty tank top, Mr. Bobinsky still has his medal all shiny and pinned to his chest. This medal isn’t your run of the mill badge, though. It’s a medal given to the nuclear clean-up team after the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster in 1986. Mr. Bobinsky’s medal even says “ Participant in the Clean-Up Campaign ” and has the image of a drop of blood on it. The blood drop has three lines, with each line representing a certain type of radiation. It is the only medal that was given out to participants of a nuclear clean-up. The film’s creators have said that Mr. Bobinsky is blue due to being outside in the cold all the time. That being said, due to being exposed to radiation for such a long time during the clean-up, this could also explain his skin color (in an animated world, anyway), as well as his desire for eating raw beets.
Narnian Time Edit Share "Every stick and stone you see, every icicle… is Narnia!" " It's the usual muddle about times, Pole. " ―Eustace Scrubb to Jill Pole Narnian Time is a term commonly used to refer to the passage of time in the world of Narnia, as opposed to the passage of time on Earth (with England as the usual place of reference). Relative timelines In Narnia, time did not feel any faster or slower than on Earth (for example, a year in either world took three hundred sixty-five days); however, the relative speed of Narnian time to Earth-time was inconsistent and erratic. When one was on Earth, there was no way to tell how quickly Narnian time was going. Between the Birth of Narnia (Earth year 1900) and the Pevensies' first visit (1940), forty years passed on Earth while a millenium passed in Narn...
