In the movie at Beaver's house, did anyone notice when mr. beaver said "Aslan is on the move" and then they showd all 4 kids and peter had this adventurous music and then when they showed lucy she had this nice sort of music and susan had this beautiful strain fo music and Ed had nothing

becuz in the book it said when each child heard the name of 'Aslan' they each had a different feeling like

Peter had a adventurous feelings
susan had a feelings like a nice smell or strain of music just passed y her
lucy had the feeeling u get when u realize it is the holidays
edmund had a mysterious and a sensation of horror

i seee how in the movie how all the little music notes had for each child was differnt.

of course for ed he had no music or not showed in the movie, becuz at that time he did not like aslan at all and was more on the witch's side then aslan's.

sorry if i did alot...soo
 
Several people have complained that Aslan didn't live up to their expectations, and neither did the introduction to him. I would have preferred the Beavers told more of Aslan to the children either at their house, or on the way to the Stone Table. The children's reaction to Aslan wasn't one of surprise, which you would've expected from the children if the Beavers had told them that Aslan was a lion; they seemed to not be surprised whatsoever that Aslan wasn't a man, and he was a lion. Let's see what happens when the extended edition comes out.
 
Yes, I loved that part in the book as well. I thought they did a good job capturing the childrens' expressions at the moment Aslan's name was mentioned. I, too would have also loved to see the part put in there where Lucy, I think, asks Mr. Beaver if Aslan is a man and he explains that he is a lion. I think they might have left that part out so that those not familliar with the story might be surprised, however, I would love to see that part in there. It would be nice if it would show up on the extended DVD.
 
Yes, if you didn't know about Aslan and hadn't read the book, you could possibly think he was a man...BUT, on the other hand, Mr. Beaver also did refer to the Pevensies as the sons of Adam and daughters of Eve, but he didn't say that Aslan was also one of the sons and daughters...no other human/man/woman had been in Narnia except for the Pevensies. And Mr. Tumnus had also asked Lucy...." Are you a ....daughter of Eve? Meaning you ARE human?" So I would infer from that that Aslan was not human. Mr. Beaver said he was also King of the Entire World/( Or Wood). We know that there were no humans in Narnia before the Pevensies. I agree that he should have been referred to, however, to clarify things, as a lion, just so the audience would know for certain.

In the book, Aslan was introduced by the beavers as a lion, along with the famous prophecy. As to be expected, the children had mixed feelings about meeting a lion. I think they held this fact back in the movie to add to the sense of wonder and expectation that people unfamialiar with the story would have. I think they should have told this part of the atory as C.S. Lewis did.

It was sort of funny when the Beavers just assumed or expected that the Pevensies would know about Aslan. And Peter ( or was it Susan) said," Excuse me but we haven't been here very long...only about an hour!" I wonder why the Beavers thought those sons and daughters of Adam and Eve would know about the Prophecy when it was very clear those children had never been in Narnia before?
 
Wouldn't we expect like, God or Jesus to be known in all other
worlds? like, you wouldn't think but no one in this world knew
about aslan, Mr beaver just thought aslan was like, the legend/king of every country/world but he's not is he?
if i'm making sense.
 
I think the beavers thought they knew because no humans had ever been to Narnia during the witch's reign. If I was one of the beavers I would figure that these kids knew what was going on because they had managed to make it into Narnia. Usually you figure if someone can travel between worlds they know a bit about the world they're going into. But since Aslan was the one bringing the kids into Narnia they of course know very little. The beavers just gave the kids a little more credit.
