Fun Stuff

Trivia:

When Peter is talking to Aslan, Aslan says "Beaver also mentioned something about you turning him into a hat". That line was not originally in the movie. The smile you see is William smiling because a fly was buzzing around his head, which rendered the shot useless. more

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Susan and Lucy are riding on Aslan's back to the castle, he is traveling at a great speed, but they are sitting upright and their hair is hanging down as if they were sitting still. more

Quotes:

[first lines]
Mrs. Pevensie: Edmund! Get away from there! Peter!
[to Edmund]
Mrs. Pevensie: What do you think you're doing? Peter! Quickly, the shelter! Now!

A Very Satisfying Realization of C.S. Lewis' Creation, 29 November 2005
9/10
Author: Nan17 from New York, New York

What a fabulous movie! I just saw a screening of it (with a bunch of other actors and writers) and the whole place burst into applause at the end.

Tilda Swinton is amazing as the White Witch. Her cold, evil gaze could freeze anyone.

I loved the kids - especially the little Georgie Henley, who played Lucy. Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan was suitably majestic and comforting and grand.

It was beautifully filmed, and I felt Narnia was perfectly realized.

Looking forward to the movies that will follow.
