Chambers) are invited to tour Willy's (Crispin Glover) candy factory, and, too late, they realize that they are there to be ingredients in the candy. They escape that fate by stumbling into an enchanted wardrobe that transports them to the fantasy land of Gnarnia where they have been brought to defeat the evil White Bitch (Jennifer Coolidge) and restore Aslo (Fred Willard) to the throne. And the film goes on–continuing to make fun of "epic" movies made over the last few years.
