Movie Appearances: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Overview: The White Witch’s sledge is one of the defining visual objects of winter-bound Narnia, carrying Jadis across the snow behind her wolves and reindeer.
In winter-bound Narnia
The sledge gives Jadis a way to carry her rule across the country. She is not tucked away in a castle somewhere. She arrives in person, with wolves, snow, and fear behind her.
It also belongs to the book’s winter picture. Before the thaw begins, the sledge is one of the clearest signs that her power can reach almost anywhere.
