WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC
Called forth with a wave of their hand and a little “hocus pocus�? (or not), these four use magic to achieve their noble tasks (take that, Harry Potter).
MARY POPPINS
The nanny with something extra, our Miss Poppins is not the flashy sort, choosing to dole out her special brand of magic like, well, a spoonful of sugar. And while her responsibilities are not wide in scope, her heroism is displayed in subtler ways - she is bettering the world, one child at a time.
EGLANTINE PRICE
An apprentice witch with a worthy cause - thwarting the Nazi encroachment on British shores during the throes of World War II. And not even a trio of unexpected orphans or a side trip to the Island of Naboomboo will slow her from using the mystical power of substitutiary locomotion to achieve victory.
ELLIOTT
A big green dragon with a shock of purple hair, our hero is out to protect orphan Pete from abusive hillbillies and stern schoolmarms. However, he had better watch his own (rather large) tail when a greedy charlatan blows into town - good thing this particular dragon is of the fire-breathing sort.
ASLAN
Is there nothing more heroic then making the ultimate sacrifice? This grand lion, with his flowing mane and mighty roar, does just that. His Christ-like resurrection occurs just in time for him to rescue the fantasy land of Narnia from the clutches of a wicked witch.
