saw the movie last night. never read the books, had no idea what to expect. found it very entertaining and technically well done. would highly recommend it. unfortunately, the theatre had technical difficulties just as the credits started so we didn't get to see this scene that everyone is referring to at the very end. could someone please *spoil* it in detail for me? thanks.

ACK -- let's see. We see Lucy come back into the spare room and look into the wardrobe. The professor is there and says something to the effect that she didn't think they'd be able to return the same way, did she? (That particular portal is closed.) However, she leaves the door ajar a bit and walks out with the professor. When the room is empty, we see a light shining through the door and hear Aslan's roar again.

Anytime. :-) It's so rare that I see even two movies a year at the theater, but this one just stole my heart.

You have to use IE I think. I tried it in Foxfire and it didn't work for me.

Just came back from the movie, excellent! They did such an amazing job. Aslan was incredible!

Konashark is a big LOTR fan - yet had never read Narnia books.

He has always agreed to "suffered" through Harry Potter movies with me (hasn't read these books either).

He LOVED this movie! Now we are both looking forward to seeing the entire series created for the big screen.

I predict that the young man playing Peter, he's gonna be the biggest heart throb in the UK since Prince Charles turned 18.

Narnia was wonderful. Thoroughly satisfying and great escapist entertainment. 5 gold stars.

It was a respectable job; however I do find that some changes they made from the book were not to my liking.

Considering, though, that this film had to be marketed to apparently very young children, I suppose it is to be tolerated.

Aslan shed no tears, for instance -- I do remember him doing so in the book.

Not a single drop of blood is shown... it gets a bit silly when Aslan tells Peter to 'clean his sword' that is, wipe the blood off, and there's no blood to be seen.

I saw some red on the sword before he plunged it down into the ground to clean it. Red paint is what it looked like.

i remember there being something red on the sword also. i just made the leap that it was supposed to be blood.

Didn't Aslan cry on the stone table?? I've only seen it once, but I was sure he did.

As for the "no blood" -- as an adult, I don't mind the no blood; I'd just as soon see less blood in my movies. As a mother, I LOVED the lack of gore! Our kids see more violence than they need to, and when you monitor those things as a parent, it gets darned hard to find acceptable movies for children.

I loved this movie! This was my favorite book as a kid. I hadn't read it since my 11 year old was very young. Aslan is one of those creatures that while you're reading about him, you just want to be there to be with him. Anyway, it was great to see him in the movie, but the character didn't quite live up to my mental image of him...I think it's impossible to create such in real life. Aslan in the movie was wonderful. I do think the movie was very well done. I hope they make all the books. In my memory, Edmund stood out more and was much brattier.

Lucy and Peter were absolutely delightful, but I think all four were cast well. They are more delightful than Susan and Edmund in the books.

I don't usually look forward to seeing a movie again. I really am looking forward to seeing this one again.

The stone table scene was emotionally awful for me and I was so glad I knew what was going to happen. The friend of my 9 year old was with us and hadn't read the book. I was worried about her, the look on her face...well...I did reassure her that he'd be ok, that everything would be ok. I was glad my daughter had read the book. This was also her second time seeing the movie.

I think it was able to stay true to the book more than the Harry Potter movies because the HP books are so long that they just cannot fit it all in.

Another plus, maybe more kids will read the series.

GREAT MOVIE!!!

So glad I got to see it in the theatres and cant wait for the DVD… yes there were many books I read over and over and over again as a child but as said previously, this was probably in the top 5 of multiple times read (well over 15 times) … and I have to say I was very happy with the movie. I usually do not compare books to movies and don’t like to say that the book is always better than the movie – but especially in this case I thought it will be a risk to make the movie – it’s the right time with all the new technology but still a risk since people will either love it or hate it… and in this instance I think they pulled it off as well as they could. I enjoyed the actors, and thought the animated characters like the Werewolf were good – yes there is a lot more in the book but you cant put it all on screen and I think what they portrayed did the story justice. I enjoyed the stone statues in the White witch’s castle and liked the other characters as well and even though Liam is noticeable, I still liked his presence as Aslan.

Cant wait for the next two – not that I could pick a favorite book but Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Tredder always were so much fun – and have my favorite character in them. J (but I say that as someone that thoroughly enjoyed each book as I was reading them each time).

I'm copying this from Ultimate Disney (love this site) in case anyone's interested...

July 8, 2006 - Earlier this week, UD broke news that couldn't be found anywhere else online, that Disney/Walden's blockbuster fantasy adaptation The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was due to be revisited in a 4-disc extended edition in the near future. Now, not only has that been confirmed, but the release appears to have been put on the fast track. Those attending the annual fanboy festival Comic-Con in San Diego later this month will be treated to a first glimpse at never-before-seen footage from the upcoming limited edition "director's cut" DVD, hosted by Narnia producer Mark Johnson. The event will take place on Saturday (July 22) at 3:45 in Hall H, with attendees being treated to exclusive collectibles from Narnia and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, which shares the hour with an insider's look at visual effects.
