    • Trivia
      Georgie Henley's reaction to Mr. Tumnus at the lamppost is genuine. She had not seen her castmate James McAvoy in his costume before filming the scene, so her screams and reactions were real. Georgie's first reaction to the snowy world of Narnia is also genuine. She was carried into the set blindfolded to make her first entrance, and her wide-eyed, delighted reactions to it all were entirely her own.
    • Goofs
      When the children are running around in the house trying to find a hiding place while playing hide and seek, Lucy's dress changes from purple to brown.
    • Quotes

      Aslan: [almost in a roar] Do not cite the Deep Magic to me Witch. I was there when it was written.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a further brief scene with Lucy and the Professor after the initial cast credits.
    • Alternate versions
      German theatrical version (non-digital) was cut for violence to secure a "Not under 6" rating. Digital presentations were uncut (with a "Not under 12" rating). On DVD, both versions were released (standard DVD was cut, collector's edition was uncut).

    A Magical Journey Through Narnia...

    A wonderful movie. The characters are beautifully made from a well chosen characters. The CGI and special effects are top notch. The centaurs, beavers, trees, tigers, bears, fox, all are taking. Oh! yeah, they are talking. The creators have done an excellent job in bringing out the emotions, the lip sync, and the body language of various animal, very well. The White Witch was scary as hell. The final battle sequence was spectacular. I was amazed with the battle sequence.

    Aslan's character was the best. I love the way the Lion talks, walks and emotes. It's simply amazing.

    Amazing direction. Amazing music. Excellent make-up. Amazing editing work. A very good adoption of the Narnia series. Very funny movie too. Worth watching.
