Janell: It’s made clear that talking animals walk on hind legs, and going back to all fours is a sign of savagery among the Narnians. (I believe this was mentioned in the Horse and his Boy.)

Nice CSS!

hello. i’ve seen this movie twice now and definitely wouldn’t mind seeing it again. i was just browsing the web and came across this review, and although i haven’t read the book in ages, i still remember very much enjoying it, as i have with the movie. i thought the actors that played each character suited his or her role perfectly, and i was quite impressed by the movie in its entirety. i never thought anyone would make a film based off of this book or the other ones in the series, but now, i’m glad that they have.

I saw the movie this weekend. I liked it too. I was a bit disapointed in a couple of parts that they didn’t stick to the book a bit closer but wasn’t surprised. One bit of animal animation I thought had been changed was that when the beavers were walking (long distance) they were on their back feet. I don’t see why they did that. It’s still and animal why not make it walk normally.

I had started reading the book again a while back but never finished it. After I saw the movie I read more (still have a chapter left) and came to realize in the book Aslan claps his paws together more than once but don’t remember seeing that in the movie – I think that was smart.

I definately want to watch this movie again.

Note on the turkish delight – I had no clue what it was either – seeing it in the movie made me think of Applets and Cotlets

Thanks for the link; that was an interesting piece (although they claimed “women fighting” line was one of Aslan’s… where was the fact checker? ).

In the film, it was interesting to see the turkish delight, just because I had only vague notions of what it might be… I knew it was sweet from the book but that was about it. Now that I’ve seen it (and had a look at some turkish delight recipes), it sort of looks like something I’ve had, though I can’t figure out where or even necessarily what. Might have to whip some up in celebration of the movie.

thanks for the review (of the movie and the quirky people). i heard an interesting story on the changing of the line regarding women fighting in battle at npr (i think this story). it is too bad they didn't do it more gracefully. i too liked the conversation about Aslan being "safe" though i haven't read the book in probably 8 years or more that was one of the conversations i remember best (as well as the mysterious, to me, turkish delight).
