Trivia:

The CGI on Mr. Tumnus was from his waist down - his goat legs and hooves. His ears were controlled by remote control and a fake nose along with a lot of hair was attached.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Near the end, Professor Kirke says that one can get into Narnia is only when not looking for it. This was already disproved by Lucy's second entry into the wardrobe, when she went there with Narnia in mind. Every other time the lore holds true.

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!

Narnia!

I went to see the new Narnia movie tonight, and I have to say, I was extremely impressed. The story was touching and powerful, the acting was exceptional, and the special effects were amazing! I was never been into fantasy movies until Lord of the Rings came out, which I thought was great. This movie was also very very good. From the beginning of the movie, I felt swept away into the story. I am rarely excited about new movies, but I was about this one, and it totally exceeded my expectations.

I highly recommend this film. It is based on a kid's book, but it appeals to people from every background and age.

I think we are witnessing the beginning of an awesome epic series! 10 Stars!
