Trivia:
The stone lion that Edmund draws a mustache and glasses on when he is entering the witch's castle appears at the end after all the crowns are given, standing next to the fox. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: At the beginning of the movie there is a zoomed shot on the train (moving to the left of the screen and then exits) and the children are reveled standing at the station. The following wide shot overlooking the station (with the opening title directed by Andrew Adamson) the Train has mysteriously vanished. There is no way that the train covered the distance visible of the track in that amount of time. more

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.
