Synopsis

Tutti i personaggi incontrati nel ciclo di Narnia vengono alla ribalta per salutare: il Professore, zia Polly, Edmund, Peter, Lucy, gli gnomi, il topo Ricipì, l'aquila Alidifuoco, l'unicorno Diamante. Ma i veri eroi di questo "gran finale" sono Tirian, l'ultimo discendente dei re di Narnia, e i due bambini Eustachio Scrubb e Jill Pole, che devono smascherare un assurdo impostore. Infatti lo scimmione Shift ha travestito da leone l'asino Puzzle, cercando di farlo passare per il leggendario Aslan e qualcuno ci ha creduto. E adesso le forze del bene e del male si preparano all'ultima battaglia.
