Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeorgie 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.
- GoofsWhen 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.
- Crazy creditsThere is a further brief scene with Lucy and the Professor after the initial cast credits.
- Alternate versionsGerman 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).

Featured review
A Very Satisfying Realization of C.S. Lewis' Creation
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.
