The wardrobe is special because the professor was one of the first children who visited Narnia. He used a magic apple from Narnia to heal his mother, then the seeds became a tree and the wood was used to make the wardrobe.
@PhtevenJ Netflix are currently working on a Narnia tv show, so hopefully they will get to that eventually. The professor's origin story was in one of the last books, so we probably won't see it for a while.
@@robertsmalls3513 that’s true, however is a little bit better than what Disney is doing with all the remakes like Peter Pan, Pinocchio, the little mermaid, etc.
Yes! It’s details like this all throughout that make this movie so great, so cool that you appreciate little moments like this, thanks for pointing it out!
Fun Fact: When Lucy first meets Mr. Tumnus at the Lantern, the scream she let out was 100% real. She had never seen the actor, James McAvoy, in his whole costume. That was the first time she saw him and it scared her so much she actually screamed. The director, Andrew Adamson, said it was a perfect reaction and kept it. Unfortunately, they had to re-shoot the rest because Georgie Henley, Lucy, broke character and said, "James, is that you?"
Hey, Thor. Fun fact about this movie. C.S. Lewis and Tolkien actually knew each other and based a character in their books about each other. Lewis based the Professor on Tolkien and Tolkien based Treebeard on C.S. Lewis.
@@nickreacts6394 I have a former neighbour who actually met them both because her brother was a student of theirs. She said C.S. Lewis was a bit of a flirt.
The Queen only appeared again in the books once more in The Magician’s Nephew, that told the beginning of how Aslan created Narnia and the wardrobe came to be. The Witch did have a cousin appear in The Silver Chair. It’s unfortunate that the other books were never made. Disney didn’t really know how to handle the franchise and let it die, I think they were uncomfortable with the Christianity and also tried to mold it into Lord of the Rings which it isn’t.
Narnia is SO underrated! The casting and acting is outstanding. The visuals and the cinematography is phenomenal. The score is so good. Everything about it is just amazing. Fun facts: Georgie Henley's (Lucy) first reaction to Narnia is genuine. They didn't let her see the set until they filmed it. Her reaction to Mr. Tumnus is also genuine, for she had not seen James McAvoy in his costume before the scene was filmed. Also, Georgie Henley's older sister Rachael Henley plays Lucy when she's grown-up. The character of the White Witch was inspired by the Snow Queen from the story of Hans Christian Andersen (Elsa from Frozen is loosely based on her too since she was originally supposed to be the villain). C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were very close friends. Tolkien was even instrumental in Lewis' own conversion to Christianity. Although Lewis did not originally set out to incorporate Christian elements and themes into the books, it is something that occurred as he wrote them. I know Prince Caspian and Voyage of The Dawn Treader didn't do as well in the box office as this one, and people kinda lost interest. They were also competing with bigger franchises like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. They were gonna adapt The Magician's Nephew, the first book of the series, until Walden Media lost its rights to the franchise in 2011. The Mark Gordon Company retained the rights instead to adapt the next book in the franchise, The Silver Chair. But for some reason that never happened, and in 2018, Netflix acquired the rights to develop their own Narnia reboot. However, there have not been any updates on the project for years, so the future of Narnia remains a mystery. I'm totally up for Harry Potter, but I would love for you to react to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader too. It's certainly not as good as the other two but still entertaining (mainly because of the legend that is Eustace!).
That was such a great call to have “Lucy” walk out for the first time into Narnia with a genuine reaction, it really shows in the performance and is one of the truly magical moments of this film. Also, getting her sister to play her adult self is a smart move. The White Witch and Elsa being loosely inspired from the same legend is an interesting connection too, although I’m certainly partial towards the portrayal by Tilda Swinton. I couldn’t think of a more perfect antagonist for this movie! I knew C.S. Lewis and Tolkien were close friends, and I love imagining them together at a pub sharing notes and ideas about each other’s creations. Strong allegory usually isn’t something I’m a big fan of, but I think the way it was done in Narnia was good, almost as a way to create a children’s fantasy story with strong moral themes woven all throughout And it is unfortunate that the Narnia franchise dwindled off. I almost don’t want more movies to get adapted now, however, just because I have such little faith that it would be executed well but maybe I’m just a cynic haha. But I’ll see about doing the Voyage of the Dawn Treader probably based on the reception/ interest in this reaction, and Harry Potter is definitely in the works but probably not right after Narnia
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie was terrible. They tossed the book’s story and made up their own. It’s better to read the book. It’s easy to read, C. S. Lewis was a gifted writer.
At first my favorite character development was Edmund’s but in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Eustace’s character is just amazing! It saddens me that the movie wasn’t received very well but now that I see the movie as an adult I can understand much better that it has such a beautiful message and story! And again, Eustace’s character (played by the amazing Will Poulter) is just phenomenal! ✨😮
All interesting, also it's clearly based on the story of King Arthur. You can see this with things like the kings and queens leaving to another world only to return 1000 years later at the time of greatest need, a Merlin type mentor with a lot of power that exists more to teach lessons, paralells can certainly be drawn between Jadis and Morgana, there's a lot more that could be pointed out.
Edmund is a 10 year old boy in 1940 during world war 2 when there was sugar rationing and had been sent away to some stranger's house with his siblings who (particularly the elder 2) were being real jerks and had no idea that the seemingly kind lady offering the turkish delight was the literal embodiment of evil who would kill his family and himself once she no longer had any use for them.
C.S. Lewis loved mythology and I almost feel like he really drew from the Hansel and Gretel when using a child's curiosity and love of sweets to lure them into the woods away from anyone who would tell them the truth & expose the trickery.
i actually feel so sorry for edmund. imagine being a 10 year old child during a war, when food is rationed, and you haven’t had a sweet or a proper meal in ages. and most of all, the sweet was enchanted so that he would always want more. the poor kid basically had no chance.
also like ... he didn't know initially that he had anything to fear. he's a young child during wartime who feels inferior to all his siblings and he meets an extraordinarily powerful woman who ONLY wants to do with him, who wants to give him something for himself alone and allow his siblings to exist only as servants. of course he wanted to take that offer, he's ten. by the time he realized something was very very wrong, he was too terrified to do anything but provide whatever information could save him. that's also why the concept of him "turning tumnus in" has always felt disingenuous; he hadn't learned about the white witch like lucy had at that point. all he did was mention tumnus' name. he didn't even know there was anything to turn him in FOR. and then edmund spends the rest of his life atoning and repenting for this! he still thinks about it decades later!!! for something completely understandable that he did at age ten!!!!! god, i get so angry when people hate edmund. they tend to be the most deeply unempathetic people around.
@andreygirl I do too. It literally irks me to my core 😤 He is just a kid, and these adult reactors (not just this channel, but others) always say they h*ate him for being a snitch and bitter, as if that's a justifiable reason to for a grown adult to not only dislike, but h*te a child so much that they can't even stand when he's on screen. I feel like Edmund sometimes. I'm an only child, but I never felt good enough and would act out. Eventually I grew out of it and am learning new lessons everyday.. but it's the idea that people who have never seen the movies before or read the book immediately make out Edmund as this lost cause who they think it's okay to condemn, as if any of them are saints and can make that choice. I just want to hug Edmund and tell him he's not alone.. I love his character the most ❤ It makes me sad that not a lot of people feel the way we do. I just wish people would be more forgiving when it comes to second chances and try to learn how the other person feels. Nowadays, most people are selfish and conceited and think they know better than anyone else.
The book is about 100 pages and is so powerful. This was made by a fan and was one of the most true to adaptations from a book to a movie I have ever seen.
Fun fact about the Professor. His name is Diggery and he appeared in one of the prequel books that never got made into a movie. As a kid, he went to Narnia when it was first created. It's his fault the White Witch was released on Narnia and he built that wardrobe from a Narnian tree.
The reason they didn't recognize the light at the end is because it was such a small part of they're time in Narnia and they're journey, it was forgotten about for the most part, plus it was like 10+ years (in Narnia time) since they seen it or thought about it or even thought about going back home, so, anyone would see it as something unfamiliar for the most part
See this is why I love reactions, they notice things you miss. Like I never once noticed the fact that her crown is melting the entire time until it’s completely gone. I also never noticed that she shaved Aslan purely so she could wear his mane into war the next day. He took her crown by bringing forth the spring, she took his crown by literally cutting it from his body.
This movie was one of my favorites as a kid, and it still holds all that childhood magic when I watch it. The special effects also hold up super well for a nearly 20 year old movie. So much of this adaptation is just top tier. Tilda Swinton and Liam Neeson were PERFECT for their roles and so were all the actors playing the Pevensies. The score, the visuals, the way the film expands on the characters and parts of the book that aren't very detailed without feeling inauthentic... it's all just *chef's kiss*. It's a shame that Dawn Treader didn't turn out so great and ended up as the last movie. Hoping Netflix can do something good with Narnia and actually adapt the whole series (if they're even still planning their Narnia series...it's been so long with no news). But honestly, I don't know how anyone could adapt LWW better than this film.
I love this movie so much the music, acting, and characters are alk great. I especially love the beavers and Aslan. He is one of Liam Neeson's best characters. It truly is one of the best book to film adaptations.
I remember watching this in theaters and during the battle scene the silence was so intense that you could hear the King Kong movie playing next door 😂
C.S Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien (the author of The Lord of the Rings) both knew each other and were veterans in World War One. Both of them were Christian, as we see references to Jesus in their books (Aslan representing Jesus, his sacrifice representing Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, the stone table cracking representing the stone that was cracked and rolled away from His tomb, and Gandalf's resurrection after he sacrificed himself to save the Fellowship from the Balrog)
Aslan was a mechanical puppet (essentially they had 3 for different shots). They set it up for the actors to be able to interact with /look at and a point of reference for the special effects team to enhance details and the like. YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE BEHIND THE SCENES FOR EVERYTHING IN THE MOVIE!!! Lol. It is so cool. Even the river thawing out had a very complicated rigging set up for the actors to actually get wet! It’s great
Extraordinary reaction and you both reflect the spirit of Narnia. 🥰 The scene with Professor Kirke talking to Peter and Susan is one of my favorites. Excellent performances by all the performers. Anna Popplewell's subtle expressions in this and other movies make her a favorite. Enjoying reading the comments too. For Narnia ... and For Aslan!
i love this story and love the movie adaptation. i watched it so many times i broke the dvd, and used to hide in my grandma’s wardrobe trying to find narnia! it always brings back beautiful memories 🤍
The Narnia books by C.S. Lewis are more than just a simple Christian allegory. Nearly everything in them is meant to articulate Lewis' particular views of Christianity. This book obviously gives an interpretation of Christ's crucifixion and a version of what that is supposed to mean in certain angles of Christian theology -- such as the idea that while even Aslan (Christ) has to abide by "deep magic," there is "deeper magic" that the White Witch (Satan?) didn't know about. And the idea that the crucifixion was God sacrificing to redeem sinful humanity (Edmund). The other books highlight other aspects of Christian theology. They also reflect some aspects of Lewis' general world view -- conservative but humane, monarchist, and generally preferring grand legend and old mythologies to modern science and versions of logic ... versions of logic he would have said were not true logic. The amazing thing is that I disagree with most of all that. But I love the books and find the Christian ideas in them some of the most credible available. They don't convince me to believe in Christianity. But they make me much more respectful of at least some Christian theology.
I admit, I took with me the belief that all gods are the same beings. Everything that is worshipped is the same. I am agnostic. The closest thing to a religious figure I would worship is Mother Nature and Father Time.
Fun fact: C.S Lewis was a ardent atheist in his youth who became a Christian in adulthood. He created Aslan as a representation of Jesus. It is the reason he created Aslan as a lion as Jesus is known as The Lion of Judah and why Aslan gives his live willingly for Edmund and comes back to life representing Jesus death and resurrection. Also the word aslan means lion in Arabic.
Read the books! I have read them so many times since I was little. (I am 53 now). The White Witch does come back in a later book, but that book is a prequel. It's about the creation of Narnia.
i always found aslan's quote about being there when the deep magic was written as odd. he said the magic she quoted was there at the beginning when the world was created and while there was an older magic there the one she quoted only existed since the creation of narnia. so why would aslan say it like that when she was there too? then i found the publishing order of the books and it makes a bit more sense
1:34 Not English here, but from what I read from history, they sent their children to Northern England or Scotland. 1:47 the train is a Sterling.....it ws a very English train and was very fast for the time period.
Fact: The director ended up changing the character who kills the unicorn (think it was meant to be one of the minotaur's who would kill the unicorn but it was changed to a dwarf shooting it instead). But the actor who was meant to take it down didn't know until the other actor mentioned it to him.
Well Turkish delight is actually not always made properly it’s suppose to melt in the mouth and has a filling of super fresh green pistachios , most places make it overly tough and with too much rose water just not the same at all - a similar example is Mochi many places make it too dense and sugary when it’s supposed to be very soft and melt after a few chews so yeah it’s your first time trying something and it’s not made right the odds are you’d be turned off from trying it again this is why when I personally make sure to try the best version of something I’m tasting if it’s my first time ever trying it.
This is a good point about trying new/ different foods, I’ll have to try a proper Turkish Delight when I get the chance (already a fan of Mochi, but 100% agree there’s the kind you get makes a huge difference in taste)
@@nickreacts6394 Always go for places that cares more for selling quality than quantity, it’s like buying Chinese food from an American food chain it won’t taste the same, it’s what chefs usually call 3rd class fusion which means not a fusion that was made to improve and develop the recipe further but to commercialise it instead. For me as a chef and recipe developer if you cook an authentic recipe and want to make changes it should be an improvement otherwise it’s very irresponsible because not only you’re making clients pay for unauthentic recipes but you can possibly also affect how first time tasters view that dish for the rest of their life.
@@nickreacts6394 it's probably also worth mentioning that, in the book, the Turkish Delight is enchanted and Edmund would have eaten enough of it to kill himself if he'd been permitted. That said, legitimate, fresh Turkish Delight is amazing.
Most of the Narnia snowy forests were shot in a studio in Wellington, New Zealand but some of it (like the exterior to Mr. Tumnus house) were shot in Czech Republic.
I first saw Narnia onscreen as the live-action 1988-1990 BBC serials, which adapted "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", "Prince Caspian", "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and "The Silver Chair", as well as the 1979 animated film of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". I really recommend those versions, too! They're on DVD. Especially "The Silver Chair". The Walden film series you just started didn't get around to adapting that book before it was cancelled. .
I really hope you guys watch the other narnia movies. This movie was basicly my childhood. It was probably this movie and Lord of the Rings that made me a huge fantasy fan
the senes in begining, (forest, house of Tumnus and few landskapes) were filmed in Czech republic. Im from this country and wisited these places few times already... not in winter but its allways a beautiful walk in summer or fall.
I have to say that this movie was a perfect adaptation of the book. I wish they continued this film series and didn’t stop after Book 3 (5 chronologically).
This movie randomly popped into my mind, and now I've been on a Narnia binge. I completely forgot how delightful this movie was, and I hated that they didnt continue with the series. 💛
this movie and most of the second film (prince Caspian) was filmed in New Zealand and directed by NZ director Andrew Adamson. Third one wasn't cause there was a new director who i guess just didn't want to.
the winter scenes were filmed in the Czech Republic. Georgie Hensley didn't know about the snow and so her reaction was actually real as well as her scream at meating Tumnus, they didn't let her know about him so it was legit reaction!!!
The Fox is voiced by Rupert Everett who voiced Prince Charming in Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third. While recording for Shrek 2, he heard from director Andrew Adamson (one of the directors of Shrek and Shrek 2 and the director of this film and Prince Caspian) and Everett asked him if there was a part he could play. The only part left for him was The Fox, which he accepted.
My 5th grade teacher made us read the book. Then the movie came out in December that year!! We went as a class!! It was great and a memory ill always cherish!! ❤
@@nickreacts6394 Mrs. Beaver got a new sewing machine. Mr. Beaver got some repairs on the dam done that he had been meaning to do (if memory serves correctly).
Adding another fun fact to the list, in case you didn't know, this and the next movie in this series are directed by the director of the first two shrek movies.
You say "even though" as if to say that since it is a Christian based film/book series, that it's not capable of being good so you were surprised? Like someone said.. BECAUSE it is based on Christianity, it is a whole lot better than the woke movies they make in Hollywood these days.
C.S. Lewis was a student of classics at Oxford, hence all the Greco-Roman mythological creatures. It was at Oxford that he met fellow Inkling J.R.R. Tolkien, who studied philology. He was also, in his own words, "the most reluctant convert" to Christianity. Both Narnia and Lord of the Rings are prime examples of the Christian Myth, the telling of the Gospel story outside a biblical narrative, usually in the form of high fantasy. Aslan is meant to be how Christ would appear in a world inhabited by talking animals - as the Great Lion who gives his life in the place of a sinner and rises from the grave. This is also why Humans in Narnia are referred to as the Sons of Adam and/or Daughters of Eve.
Fun fact: The actress who plays Lucy was not shown the stage with the forest until they filmed this scene. So her look of amazement is actually sincere. Andrew Adamson is such a good director and understands how to get honest performances from child actors. When they had to speak to a CGI character, he would actually sit and play that character while they filmed their lines. Another fun fact is the actresses who play child Lucy and adult Lucy are sisters.
Reaction of Lucy to seeing Mr. Tumnus the first time was real as, even if Georgie Henley did meet James McAvoy and started bonding with him, she hadn't seen him in the Tumnus makeup. The reaction of seeing Narnia the first time is also genuine as Georgie didn't see the set until it was time for shooting. She was blind folded and it was taken of right before the first take, looking in awe when she saw the snowy landscape.
47:10 ooofff 😂😂😂 I remember wanting Lokum/Turkish delights as a child after watching Narnia and I’m so glad that when I finally got to try them I actually did fall in love with them! As a child, my parents even tried to convince me for years that I would be let down by them. I hope Jessie likes them too! 💖💕
16:38 To be fair she gave him enchanted Turkish delight - any food or drink that's made out of that liquid in that little bottle of hers is so addictive you'd eat it to death if you were given the chance to.
SPOILER FOR PRINCE CASPIAN NEXT MOVIE DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO I never realized that at the very end of this film after the siblings come back to their world, the door to the wardrobe cracks open and you hear Azlan roar. “Azlan abandoned us not long after you lot did” is said in the next movie and I think I just put together that that was Azlan leaving! (Possibly to go to azlan’s country? If that’s where we can assume he goes every time he ‘leaves’ narnia?)
Voyage of the Dawn Treader is one of the best book in the series. You should make a video about it. Re watching it now with you guys, I'm also impressed by the visuals and storytelling! A true work of love. This was done with Disney 20 years forward look how low we've come!!!!!! Mind you in between we had Toy Story, The Lion King, and the Marvel Universe but still...
This book to movie adaption was done so well! (Prince Caspian deviated from the book a bit, and Dawn Treader even more so, but I wish theyd kept as close as the first ...)
I grew up with the books, and the BBC TV adaptations from the late 80s/early 90s. I was overjoyed when I found out they were making this film, and it didn't disappoint. Even though the Lord of the Rings trilogy is my favorite film series, this is my favorite individual movie.
I wish they would have made all of the books into movies but The Walt Disney Company said they didn't make enough from the three movies they did make to justify making more. I feel that if Walt Disney was still alive and running the company, he would have made them, even if they didn't make a profit from them.
I do have pleasant memories watching this in middle school. It is really well done and it’s a shame they never finished the series. I actually think I’m one of the few people that liked Prince Cassian, and in some ways I thinks it’s a better movie. I suppose if I do have a “critique” of Disney’s Narnia films it’s that this movie did it’s job so well that Disney kept trying to replicate its success by turning its other adaptations of classic fantasy stories like Alice in Wonderland and Nutcracker into Narnia style epics. There honestly was no need to do that
C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were friends and collegues at Oxford University. After work, they'd often meet at the pub The Eagle and The Child to have a meat pie and a pint of beer, along with two other men and critize each other's work. Tolkien wasn't too keen on Lewis' idea of having Father Christmas in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, but Lewis ignored his friend's comment and let him stay in the story. Coincidently both The Lord of the Rings and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (and about half of Prince Caspian) were filmed in New Zealand and had the involvment of Weta Workshop and Tolkien concept artists Alan Lee and John Howe. Kiran Shah who plays Ginnarbrik were the scale double for Bilbo, Frodo and Merry (for the most part unless both Frodo and Merry were in the same scene) in The Lord of the Rings (and would go on be in The Hobbit as Bilbo's scale double once again, scale double for Thraín in the Extended version of Desolation of Smaug, a burning child at the start of Unexpected Journey, one of the golbins in Goblin Town and the voice and mo-cap for the Goblin Scribe).
Because of the fact that it’s not really explained in this movie or the others, I thought you might like to know that Professor Kirke from the movie is meant to be Digory Kirke from the first book “The Magicians Nephew” so he’s actually been to Narnia and was in fact there when Aslan created Narnia.
I had Trukish Delight (or Lokum which it's also called) and it's quite good, so good ahead and try. The original kind made by rose water is good but like pomegranate tastes even better.
In the books it explains that the turkish delight sets a spell on edmund which is why he wants more so desperately and why he's ready to betray his siblings for it.
Thank you so much for this reaction! Watching this film introduced me to the world of Narnia. I’ve read every book, seen every screen adaptions, and I was Fenris Ulf (Maugrim) and Father Christmas for a stage play of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe . Unfortunately, complications and Covid prevented us from performing; I hope to finally perform it one day. I would love to see you react to Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I hope this franchise can get a tv series treatment where each season is a book. Also I don’t know if it’s been mentioned that this entire chronicles was an allegory based on the Bible. Also that C.S. Lewis was friends with J.R.R. Tolkien the author of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the Hobbit. 👩🏻🦰🧑🏻🦱👩🏻🦱🧑🏼🦁👸🏼🚪❤️💛💙🩶
Definitely need to watch voyage of the dawn treader. One reason and do i need to say more than "more Reepicheep"? He is by far one of my altime favorite fictional characters of any genere or medium. I also think they nailed Ustace in casting, but they messed way way WAY too much with the story. Though ill say this for the movie that they didnt remove the explicit christian message from the end of Dawn Treader
Fun fact: the dog's tails are all CGI. Apparently they were so happy to be there, they wouldn’t stop wagging their tails.
That is so funny! I would’ve loved to have been on set with all those dogs!
If you have to use CGI because your dogs are too happy, you're doing something right!
Well, they're wolf hybrids (as it is a bit risky using purebred wolves) even though wolves are dogs and have bred from them.
The wardrobe is special because the professor was one of the first children who visited Narnia. He used a magic apple from Narnia to heal his mother, then the seeds became a tree and the wood was used to make the wardrobe.
i do wish we could have the rest of the books done... it would be cool to see that
@PhtevenJ Netflix are currently working on a Narnia tv show, so hopefully they will get to that eventually. The professor's origin story was in one of the last books, so we probably won't see it for a while.
@@Rocket1377Ew Netflix would ruin it. They keep messing up every thing they do
@@Rocket1377 isn't it the first book?
@@robertsmalls3513 that’s true, however is a little bit better than what Disney is doing with all the remakes like Peter Pan, Pinocchio, the little mermaid, etc.
That music fade when Lucy opens the door to the room with the wardrobe always gets me. It’s the perfect tone setting uneasiness but so simple.
Yes! It’s details like this all throughout that make this movie so great, so cool that you appreciate little moments like this, thanks for pointing it out!
Also the part of when the war starts, there's no music, it comes back just the moment the cheetahs and the Siberian tigers collide
Fun Fact: When Lucy first meets Mr. Tumnus at the Lantern, the scream she let out was 100% real.
She had never seen the actor, James McAvoy, in his whole costume. That was the first time she saw him and it scared her so much she actually screamed. The director, Andrew Adamson, said it was a perfect reaction and kept it. Unfortunately, they had to re-shoot the rest because Georgie Henley, Lucy, broke character and said, "James, is that you?"
Hey, Thor. Fun fact about this movie. C.S. Lewis and Tolkien actually knew each other and based a character in their books about each other. Lewis based the Professor on Tolkien and Tolkien based Treebeard on C.S. Lewis.
Both pretty cool characters to be based on (did C.S. Lewis talk really slowly like Treebeard? Haha), their friendship was just awesome!
@@nickreacts6394 I have a former neighbour who actually met them both because her brother was a student of theirs. She said C.S. Lewis was a bit of a flirt.
@@nickreacts6394Lewis would clear his throat often (Humrumph) Treebeard has the same quirk.
The Queen only appeared again in the books once more in The Magician’s Nephew, that told the beginning of how Aslan created Narnia and the wardrobe came to be.
The Witch did have a cousin appear in The Silver Chair. It’s unfortunate that the other books were never made. Disney didn’t really know how to handle the franchise and let it die, I think they were uncomfortable with the Christianity and also tried to mold it into Lord of the Rings which it isn’t.
@@noirgatherer And she also appeared in Prince Caspian as an almost-resurrected evil.
Narnia is SO underrated! The casting and acting is outstanding. The visuals and the cinematography is phenomenal. The score is so good. Everything about it is just amazing.
Fun facts:
Georgie Henley's (Lucy) first reaction to Narnia is genuine. They didn't let her see the set until they filmed it. Her reaction to Mr. Tumnus is also genuine, for she had not seen James McAvoy in his costume before the scene was filmed.
Also, Georgie Henley's older sister Rachael Henley plays Lucy when she's grown-up.
The character of the White Witch was inspired by the Snow Queen from the story of Hans Christian Andersen (Elsa from Frozen is loosely based on her too since she was originally supposed to be the villain).
C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were very close friends. Tolkien was even instrumental in Lewis' own conversion to Christianity. Although Lewis did not originally set out to incorporate Christian elements and themes into the books, it is something that occurred as he wrote them.

They were gonna adapt The Magician's Nephew, the first book of the series, until Walden Media lost its rights to the franchise in 2011.

I'm totally up for Harry Potter, but I would love for you to react to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader too. It's certainly not as good as the other two but still entertaining (mainly because of the legend that is Eustace!).
That was such a great call to have “Lucy” walk out for the first time into Narnia with a genuine reaction, it really shows in the performance and is one of the truly magical moments of this film. Also, getting her sister to play her adult self is a smart move.
The White Witch and Elsa being loosely inspired from the same legend is an interesting connection too, although I’m certainly partial towards the portrayal by Tilda Swinton. I couldn’t think of a more perfect antagonist for this movie!
I knew C.S. Lewis and Tolkien were close friends, and I love imagining them together at a pub sharing notes and ideas about each other’s creations. Strong allegory usually isn’t something I’m a big fan of, but I think the way it was done in Narnia was good, almost as a way to create a children’s fantasy story with strong moral themes woven all throughout
And it is unfortunate that the Narnia franchise dwindled off. I almost don’t want more movies to get adapted now, however, just because I have such little faith that it would be executed well but maybe I’m just a cynic haha. But I’ll see about doing the Voyage of the Dawn Treader probably based on the reception/ interest in this reaction, and Harry Potter is definitely in the works but probably not right after Narnia
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie was terrible. They tossed the book’s story and made up their own. It’s better to read the book. It’s easy to read, C. S. Lewis was a gifted writer.
At first my favorite character development was Edmund’s but in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Eustace’s character is just amazing! It saddens me that the movie wasn’t received very well but now that I see the movie as an adult I can understand much better that it has such a beautiful message and story! And again, Eustace’s character (played by the amazing Will Poulter) is just phenomenal! ✨😮
All interesting, also it's clearly based on the story of King Arthur. You can see this with things like the kings and queens leaving to another world only to return 1000 years later at the time of greatest need, a Merlin type mentor with a lot of power that exists more to teach lessons, paralells can certainly be drawn between Jadis and Morgana, there's a lot more that could be pointed out.
@@nickreacts6394 also, I didnt really enjoy the rest of the series, however, will poulter as eustace scrubb was absolutley perfect.
Edmund is a 10 year old boy in 1940 during world war 2 when there was sugar rationing and had been sent away to some stranger's house with his siblings who (particularly the elder 2) were being real jerks and had no idea that the seemingly kind lady offering the turkish delight was the literal embodiment of evil who would kill his family and himself once she no longer had any use for them.
C.S. Lewis loved mythology and I almost feel like he really drew from the Hansel and Gretel when using a child's curiosity and love of sweets to lure them into the woods away from anyone who would tell them the truth & expose the trickery.
I just want to say this. Do you notice what the White Witch is wearing during the battle ? She is wearing the cut of mane of Aslan as a trophy
I don’t know how I missed that was Aslan’s mane… that is BRUTAL what a perfect detail for a villain like the White Witch
@@nickreacts6394 yesss 💜
I have watched this movie like a hundred times and never noticed that😲
i actually feel so sorry for edmund. imagine being a 10 year old child during a war, when food is rationed, and you haven’t had a sweet or a proper meal in ages. and most of all, the sweet was enchanted so that he would always want more. the poor kid basically had no chance.
Never saw it from that perspective but it explains a lot and makes us hate him less
people give him such a hard time but he is literally just a kid, He acts on impulse and fear which is pretty normal for kids.
Me too.
also like ... he didn't know initially that he had anything to fear. he's a young child during wartime who feels inferior to all his siblings and he meets an extraordinarily powerful woman who ONLY wants to do with him, who wants to give him something for himself alone and allow his siblings to exist only as servants. of course he wanted to take that offer, he's ten. by the time he realized something was very very wrong, he was too terrified to do anything but provide whatever information could save him. that's also why the concept of him "turning tumnus in" has always felt disingenuous; he hadn't learned about the white witch like lucy had at that point. all he did was mention tumnus' name. he didn't even know there was anything to turn him in FOR. and then edmund spends the rest of his life atoning and repenting for this! he still thinks about it decades later!!! for something completely understandable that he did at age ten!!!!! god, i get so angry when people hate edmund. they tend to be the most deeply unempathetic people around.
@andreygirl I do too. It literally irks me to my core 😤 He is just a kid, and these adult reactors (not just this channel, but others) always say they h*ate him for being a snitch and bitter, as if that's a justifiable reason to for a grown adult to not only dislike, but h*te a child so much that they can't even stand when he's on screen. I feel like Edmund sometimes. I'm an only child, but I never felt good enough and would act out. Eventually I grew out of it and am learning new lessons everyday.. but it's the idea that people who have never seen the movies before or read the book immediately make out Edmund as this lost cause who they think it's okay to condemn, as if any of them are saints and can make that choice. I just want to hug Edmund and tell him he's not alone.. I love his character the most ❤ It makes me sad that not a lot of people feel the way we do. I just wish people would be more forgiving when it comes to second chances and try to learn how the other person feels. Nowadays, most people are selfish and conceited and think they know better than anyone else.
when I was a kid, I can't tell you how much I wished my own wardrobe would transport me to another world! still do...
The book is about 100 pages and is so powerful. This was made by a fan and was one of the most true to adaptations from a book to a movie I have ever seen.
Fun fact about the Professor. His name is Diggery and he appeared in one of the prequel books that never got made into a movie. As a kid, he went to Narnia when it was first created. It's his fault the White Witch was released on Narnia and he built that wardrobe from a Narnian tree.
The reason they didn't recognize the light at the end is because it was such a small part of they're time in Narnia and they're journey, it was forgotten about for the most part, plus it was like 10+ years (in Narnia time) since they seen it or thought about it or even thought about going back home, so, anyone would see it as something unfamiliar for the most part
See this is why I love reactions, they notice things you miss. Like I never once noticed the fact that her crown is melting the entire time until it’s completely gone. I also never noticed that she shaved Aslan purely so she could wear his mane into war the next day. He took her crown by bringing forth the spring, she took his crown by literally cutting it from his body.
Tilda Swinton is so great as the Witch! Even when she's surrounded by magical CGI creatures, she steals every scene she's in.
This movie was one of my favorites as a kid, and it still holds all that childhood magic when I watch it. The special effects also hold up super well for a nearly 20 year old movie. So much of this adaptation is just top tier. Tilda Swinton and Liam Neeson were PERFECT for their roles and so were all the actors playing the Pevensies. The score, the visuals, the way the film expands on the characters and parts of the book that aren't very detailed without feeling inauthentic... it's all just *chef's kiss*. It's a shame that Dawn Treader didn't turn out so great and ended up as the last movie. Hoping Netflix can do something good with Narnia and actually adapt the whole series (if they're even still planning their Narnia series...it's been so long with no news). But honestly, I don't know how anyone could adapt LWW better than this film.
4:24 fun fact: that WAS her first time actually seeing it! They wanted a genuine reaction!
I will die waiting for "Magician's nephew" to be made into a movie. It's my favorite book of Narnia series
Yeah I am excited to see White Witch's own world with the red sun.
Same
@@sourabhkarmakar8040 oh yes! I love that part in the book 🙂
Agreed. And of course, The Last Battle as well, though it would be so difficult to portray the end of the series
Tolkien had the genesis of Middle Earth and the World around it be made through the Song of the Ainur.
I love this movie so much the music, acting, and characters are alk great. I especially love the beavers and Aslan. He is one of Liam Neeson's best characters. It truly is one of the best book to film adaptations.
I remember watching this in theaters and during the battle scene the silence was so intense that you could hear the King Kong movie playing next door 😂
I remember playing Narnia at recess with all my school friends when this came out… great memories
C.S Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien (the author of The Lord of the Rings) both knew each other and were veterans in World War One. Both of them were Christian, as we see references to Jesus in their books (Aslan representing Jesus, his sacrifice representing Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, the stone table cracking representing the stone that was cracked and rolled away from His tomb, and Gandalf's resurrection after he sacrificed himself to save the Fellowship from the Balrog)
Aslan was a mechanical puppet (essentially they had 3 for different shots). They set it up for the actors to be able to interact with /look at and a point of reference for the special effects team to enhance details and the like. YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE BEHIND THE SCENES FOR EVERYTHING IN THE MOVIE!!! Lol. It is so cool. Even the river thawing out had a very complicated rigging set up for the actors to actually get wet! It’s great
I grew up watching the narnia movies and seeing people enjoy it for the first time is something I envy😂
Me too.
Extraordinary reaction and you both reflect the spirit of Narnia. 🥰
The scene with Professor Kirke talking to Peter and Susan is one of my favorites. Excellent performances by all the performers. Anna Popplewell's subtle expressions in this and other movies make her a favorite.
Enjoying reading the comments too.
For Narnia ... and For Aslan!
I love this movie, I first saw it in cinema at 6 years old, read the book when I was older. It's a masterpiece
I’m so excited for this reaction! This movie is underrated
Thank you for sharing the wonderful message of Narnia. Please continue with the trilogy.
Prince Caspian will be out next week!
They were shooting in Czech Republic, Adršpach Teplice Rocks. Magical place, honestly!
i love this story and love the movie adaptation. i watched it so many times i broke the dvd, and used to hide in my grandma’s wardrobe trying to find narnia! it always brings back beautiful memories 🤍
Narnia, the lion the witch and the wardrobe is an amazing film
One of the rare 10/10
The Narnia books by C.S. Lewis are more than just a simple Christian allegory. Nearly everything in them is meant to articulate Lewis' particular views of Christianity. This book obviously gives an interpretation of Christ's crucifixion and a version of what that is supposed to mean in certain angles of Christian theology -- such as the idea that while even Aslan (Christ) has to abide by "deep magic," there is "deeper magic" that the White Witch (Satan?) didn't know about. And the idea that the crucifixion was God sacrificing to redeem sinful humanity (Edmund). The other books highlight other aspects of Christian theology. They also reflect some aspects of Lewis' general world view -- conservative but humane, monarchist, and generally preferring grand legend and old mythologies to modern science and versions of logic ... versions of logic he would have said were not true logic.
The amazing thing is that I disagree with most of all that. But I love the books and find the Christian ideas in them some of the most credible available. They don't convince me to believe in Christianity. But they make me much more respectful of at least some Christian theology.
The White Witch is supposed to be a descendant of Lilith, Adam's first wife .
I admit, I took with me the belief that all gods are the same beings. Everything that is worshipped is the same. I am agnostic. The closest thing to a religious figure I would worship is Mother Nature and Father Time.
@@Tigerlilygurl1You know C.S. Lewis was a leading Christian writer, right?
@@commonstragedy Yes, however in the last battle Aslan says they are all him.
@@Rocket1377 If that's true, I wonder what fan-fiction Lewis got that from. Because it's definitely not in the Bible. Lol.
Fun fact: that lamp post actually GREW there where they find it
Jadis brought it 😁
Fun fact: C.S Lewis was a ardent atheist in his youth who became a Christian in adulthood. He created Aslan as a representation of Jesus. It is the reason he created Aslan as a lion as Jesus is known as The Lion of Judah and why Aslan gives his live willingly for Edmund and comes back to life representing Jesus death and resurrection. Also the word aslan means lion in Arabic.
That’s good to know.
Read the books! I have read them so many times since I was little. (I am 53 now). The White Witch does come back in a later book, but that book is a prequel. It's about the creation of Narnia.
i always found aslan's quote about being there when the deep magic was written as odd. he said the magic she quoted was there at the beginning when the world was created and while there was an older magic there the one she quoted only existed since the creation of narnia. so why would aslan say it like that when she was there too? then i found the publishing order of the books and it makes a bit more sense
1:34 Not English here, but from what I read from history, they sent their children to Northern England or Scotland.
1:47 the train is a Sterling.....it ws a very English train and was very fast for the time period.
One of my favorite movies as a kid! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I watched the movie with my classmates and it was amazing! I even read the book before I watched the movie.
Me too.
Same! I watched this in school too and we’re watching it again this year!
Grew up with these films, knowing this came out in 2005 makes me feel so old
Fact: The director ended up changing the character who kills the unicorn (think it was meant to be one of the minotaur's who would kill the unicorn but it was changed to a dwarf shooting it instead). But the actor who was meant to take it down didn't know until the other actor mentioned it to him.
Well Turkish delight is actually not always made properly it’s suppose to melt in the mouth and has a filling of super fresh green pistachios , most places make it overly tough and with too much rose water just not the same at all - a similar example is Mochi many places make it too dense and sugary when it’s supposed to be very soft and melt after a few chews so yeah it’s your first time trying something and it’s not made right the odds are you’d be turned off from trying it again this is why when I personally make sure to try the best version of something I’m tasting if it’s my first time ever trying it.
This is a good point about trying new/ different foods, I’ll have to try a proper Turkish Delight when I get the chance (already a fan of Mochi, but 100% agree there’s the kind you get makes a huge difference in taste)
@@nickreacts6394 Always go for places that cares more for selling quality than quantity, it’s like buying Chinese food from an American food chain it won’t taste the same, it’s what chefs usually call 3rd class fusion which means not a fusion that was made to improve and develop the recipe further but to commercialise it instead. For me as a chef and recipe developer if you cook an authentic recipe and want to make changes it should be an improvement otherwise it’s very irresponsible because not only you’re making clients pay for unauthentic recipes but you can possibly also affect how first time tasters view that dish for the rest of their life.
@@nickreacts6394 it's probably also worth mentioning that, in the book, the Turkish Delight is enchanted and Edmund would have eaten enough of it to kill himself if he'd been permitted.
That said, legitimate, fresh Turkish Delight is amazing.
@@beansfriend7033 haven’t read the books so thank you so much for the elaboration makes a ton of sense that the white witch would curse the delights
This along with Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian are some of the best family movies ever! :)
Caspian reaction will be out next week!
@@nickreacts6394 awesome! I loved your reaction to the first one! The second is my favorite 😊
@@Soundtracks92me too.
And the Professor is played by Jim Broadbent who also among other roles played Professor Slughorn in Harry Potter.
Most of the Narnia snowy forests were shot in a studio in Wellington, New Zealand but some of it (like the exterior to Mr. Tumnus house) were shot in Czech Republic.
I first saw Narnia onscreen as the live-action 1988-1990 BBC serials, which adapted "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", "Prince Caspian", "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and "The Silver Chair", as well as the 1979 animated film of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". I really recommend those versions, too! They're on DVD. Especially "The Silver Chair". The Walden film series you just started didn't get around to adapting that book before it was cancelled.
.
I really hope you guys watch the other narnia movies. This movie was basicly my childhood. It was probably this movie and Lord of the Rings that made me a huge fantasy fan
Such a classic!
37:41 especially the evil 😈 dwarf gets shot by Susan.
Yoooo! I love this story
the senes in begining, (forest, house of Tumnus and few landskapes) were filmed in Czech republic. Im from this country and wisited these places few times already... not in winter but its allways a beautiful walk in summer or fall.
I think some of this was shot in New Zealand. This is a favorite fantasy film, so great!
It reminds me of the lord of the rings and the hobbit trilogy.
I have to say that this movie was a perfect adaptation of the book. I wish they continued this film series and didn’t stop after Book 3 (5 chronologically).
I live near the mountains of Mourne in Northern Ireland, Lewis' inspiration for the landscape of Narnia.
This movie randomly popped into my mind, and now I've been on a Narnia binge. I completely forgot how delightful this movie was, and I hated that they didnt continue with the series. 💛
this movie and most of the second film (prince Caspian) was filmed in New Zealand and directed by NZ director Andrew Adamson. Third one wasn't cause there was a new director who i guess just didn't want to.
the winter scenes were filmed in the Czech Republic. Georgie Hensley didn't know about the snow and so her reaction was actually real as well as her scream at meating Tumnus, they didn't let her know about him so it was legit reaction!!!
I think the movie series ended abruptly in part due to the recession of 2008. A lot of movies in pre-production got axed at that time.
That explains a lot.
The Fox is voiced by Rupert Everett who voiced Prince Charming in Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third. While recording for Shrek 2, he heard from director Andrew Adamson (one of the directors of Shrek and Shrek 2 and the director of this film and Prince Caspian) and Everett asked him if there was a part he could play. The only part left for him was The Fox, which he accepted.
This is one of my favorite childhood movies.
Me too
mine too
Yay another Jessy reaction! 💜 I guess you're cool too Thor...lol 😘
The old man is Digger. What a adventure!
I love that Liam Neeson is the voice of Aslan
Perfect casting 👌
@@nickreacts6394 they did good with the cgi too
Me too
My 5th grade teacher made us read the book. Then the movie came out in December that year!! We went as a class!! It was great and a memory ill always cherish!! ❤
Many of the scenes were shot here in the Czech Republic.
In the book Father Christmas left the Beavers' presents at their dam.
The Beavers 1000% deserve it!
@@nickreacts6394 Mrs. Beaver got a new sewing machine. Mr. Beaver got some repairs on the dam done that he had been meaning to do (if memory serves correctly).
Adding another fun fact to the list, in case you didn't know, this and the next movie in this series are directed by the director of the first two shrek movies.
I did not know this!! That’s legit, what a resume!
Even though it’s a direct analogy for Christianity and Jesus’ crucifixion, it’s an amazing film and a very well told story
The direct analogy to Jesus is the best part.
Even though?
Instead of "even though it's a direct analogy", I'd say "BECAUSE it's a direct analogy".
@@2A.FreedomAmen to that.
You say "even though" as if to say that since it is a Christian based film/book series, that it's not capable of being good so you were surprised? Like someone said.. BECAUSE it is based on Christianity, it is a whole lot better than the woke movies they make in Hollywood these days.
This is my favorite movie
An excellent choice!
Mine too!
C.S. Lewis was a student of classics at Oxford, hence all the Greco-Roman mythological creatures. It was at Oxford that he met fellow Inkling J.R.R. Tolkien, who studied philology. He was also, in his own words, "the most reluctant convert" to Christianity. Both Narnia and Lord of the Rings are prime examples of the Christian Myth, the telling of the Gospel story outside a biblical narrative, usually in the form of high fantasy. Aslan is meant to be how Christ would appear in a world inhabited by talking animals - as the Great Lion who gives his life in the place of a sinner and rises from the grave. This is also why Humans in Narnia are referred to as the Sons of Adam and/or Daughters of Eve.
Fun fact: The actress who plays Lucy was not shown the stage with the forest until they filmed this scene. So her look of amazement is actually sincere.
Andrew Adamson is such a good director and understands how to get honest performances from child actors.
When they had to speak to a CGI character, he would actually sit and play that character while they filmed their lines.
Another fun fact is the actresses who play child Lucy and adult Lucy are sisters.
Reaction of Lucy to seeing Mr. Tumnus the first time was real as, even if Georgie Henley did meet James McAvoy and started bonding with him, she hadn't seen him in the Tumnus makeup.
The reaction of seeing Narnia the first time is also genuine as Georgie didn't see the set until it was time for shooting. She was blind folded and it was taken of right before the first take, looking in awe when she saw the snowy landscape.
The soilder who Peter was looking at during the train station, was another guy who audition for the role of Peter but lost to William Mosley.
47:10 ooofff 😂😂😂 I remember wanting Lokum/Turkish delights as a child after watching Narnia and I’m so glad that when I finally got to try them I actually did fall in love with them! As a child, my parents even tried to convince me for years that I would be let down by them. I hope Jessie likes them too! 💖💕
16:38 To be fair she gave him enchanted Turkish delight - any food or drink that's made out of that liquid in that little bottle of hers is so addictive you'd eat it to death if you were given the chance to.
OMG yeaaa narniaaaaaaa
I always check my wardrobe as a kid.
Me too.
I remember first reading the book 📕 from narnia before, bbc version in 3rd grade and Disney movie in the theaters 18 years ago.
SPOILER FOR PRINCE CASPIAN NEXT MOVIE DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO
I never realized that at the very end of this film after the siblings come back to their world, the door to the wardrobe cracks open and you hear Azlan roar. “Azlan abandoned us not long after you lot did” is said in the next movie and I think I just put together that that was Azlan leaving! (Possibly to go to azlan’s country? If that’s where we can assume he goes every time he ‘leaves’ narnia?)
Voyage of the Dawn Treader is one of the best book in the series. You should make a video about it. Re watching it now with you guys, I'm also impressed by the visuals and storytelling!
A true work of love. This was done with Disney 20 years forward look how low we've come!!!!!! Mind you in between we had Toy Story, The Lion King, and the Marvel Universe but still...
This book to movie adaption was done so well! (Prince Caspian deviated from the book a bit, and Dawn Treader even more so, but I wish theyd kept as close as the first ...)
Please watch the other two Narnia films♥️🙏🏻
The name of the lion is Turkish. equivalent in english Lion
“If that’s not Prince Charming, I don’t know what is.”
Me: “Actually it’s the Fox.” 😉
I grew up with the books, and the BBC TV adaptations from the late 80s/early 90s. I was overjoyed when I found out they were making this film, and it didn't disappoint. Even though the Lord of the Rings trilogy is my favorite film series, this is my favorite individual movie.
I wish they would have made all of the books into movies but The Walt Disney Company said they didn't make enough from the three movies they did make to justify making more. I feel that if Walt Disney was still alive and running the company, he would have made them, even if they didn't make a profit from them.
Not to mention that happens to 2008 recessions.
I do have pleasant memories watching this in middle school. It is really well done and it’s a shame they never finished the series. I actually think I’m one of the few people that liked Prince Cassian, and in some ways I thinks it’s a better movie.
I suppose if I do have a “critique” of Disney’s Narnia films it’s that this movie did it’s job so well that Disney kept trying to replicate its success by turning its other adaptations of classic fantasy stories like Alice in Wonderland and Nutcracker into Narnia style epics. There honestly was no need to do that
Philip the Horse is voiced by producer Philip Steuer.
C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were friends and collegues at Oxford University. After work, they'd often meet at the pub The Eagle and The Child to have a meat pie and a pint of beer, along with two other men and critize each other's work. Tolkien wasn't too keen on Lewis' idea of having Father Christmas in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, but Lewis ignored his friend's comment and let him stay in the story.
Coincidently both The Lord of the Rings and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (and about half of Prince Caspian) were filmed in New Zealand and had the involvment of Weta Workshop and Tolkien concept artists Alan Lee and John Howe. Kiran Shah who plays Ginnarbrik were the scale double for Bilbo, Frodo and Merry (for the most part unless both Frodo and Merry were in the same scene) in The Lord of the Rings (and would go on be in The Hobbit as Bilbo's scale double once again, scale double for Thraín in the Extended version of Desolation of Smaug, a burning child at the start of Unexpected Journey, one of the golbins in Goblin Town and the voice and mo-cap for the Goblin Scribe).
Fantastic
Thank you!
@@nickreacts6394 no problem 😉
In the books, she enchanted the sweets to be incredibly addictive.
They shot the winter scenes on a soundstage in LA. The snow is fake.
Because of the fact that it’s not really explained in this movie or the others, I thought you might like to know that Professor Kirke from the movie is meant to be Digory Kirke from the first book “The Magicians Nephew” so he’s actually been to Narnia and was in fact there when Aslan created Narnia.
That's why he believes the children 😮
I had Trukish Delight (or Lokum which it's also called) and it's quite good, so good ahead and try. The original kind made by rose water is good but like pomegranate tastes even better.
3:29 that is totally not fair how little sisters have that power over big brothers
Fun fact: Adult Lucy was played by Rachael Henley the older sister of Georgie Henley, who played Child Lucy.
I was just binge watching the series again😂
In the books it explains that the turkish delight sets a spell on edmund which is why he wants more so desperately and why he's ready to betray his siblings for it.
13:43 welcome to Czech Switzerland
;)
Thank you so much for this reaction! Watching this film introduced me to the world of Narnia. I’ve read every book, seen every screen adaptions, and I was Fenris Ulf (Maugrim) and Father Christmas for a stage play of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe . Unfortunately, complications and Covid prevented us from performing; I hope to finally perform it one day. I would love to see you react to Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I hope this franchise can get a tv series treatment where each season is a book. Also I don’t know if it’s been mentioned that this entire chronicles was an allegory based on the Bible. Also that C.S. Lewis was friends with J.R.R. Tolkien the author of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the Hobbit.
👩🏻🦰🧑🏻🦱👩🏻🦱🧑🏼🦁👸🏼🚪❤️💛💙🩶
I didn’t even realize that was the guy from Split until you said it.
James McAvoy is better known now, but honestly even in this his performance stands out as excellent
Definitely need to watch voyage of the dawn treader. One reason and do i need to say more than "more Reepicheep"? He is by far one of my altime favorite fictional characters of any genere or medium. I also think they nailed Ustace in casting, but they messed way way WAY too much with the story. Though ill say this for the movie that they didnt remove the explicit christian message from the end of Dawn Treader
