Review by Amy Hayes-brassow

4.7 / 5

I do wish that there would have been more time spent immediately after Aslans Ressurection as the classsic cartoon did Just a little!

It was adorable when Mr Tumnus stomped his little hoofs on his rug to get the snow off. The whole theater laughed.It was attention to detail that was so crucial to this film.

The movie was beautiful and stayed very true to the the book I appreciated that. I was surprised Liam did a good job as Aslan since I thought from the beginning it should have been James Earl Jones and still think it could have been. If he wasn't sick I think it should have been Charlton Heston (please Forgive my spelling)
Regardless Liam was great and I am extremely happy foe him that he landed this great role he did a heck of a job.

Lucy was awesome as was the White witch she was ver powerful. Aslan well he was the show!!!!
Roar Aslan Roar! I cried when they killed Aslan even though I thought that too was rushed compared to the cartoon. It was still so real and awful. That was the right feeling.

I think as a child actress at least the girl who played Lucy has a real future due to this film she was just on!

I am 32 Years old and have been a fan since childhood. I named my male cat Aslan 5 years ago. He has no idea he is famous but in his mind he truly thinks he's magnificant anyway. Just like a lion! Thats why I named him that.

This movie was a long time coming. Thank you.

I was looking for more promotional items to purchase but I am happy it did not get cheesy and stayed classy.

So much in just one movie. New stars, beauty, the telling of a great classic, the beloved Aslan and childhood dreams coming true for so many of us on the big screen.

Aslan is and for ever will be in my heart.

Thank you C.S. Lewis
