The interior of Mr. Tumnus’ house, as illustrated by Pauline Baynes for Lewis’ book, included two lounge chairs, a dining table, a mantle and fireplace, a bookshelf and hutch.

Howard Berger of KNB EFX, Richard Taylor from WETA and Dean Wright who was the Visual Effects Supervisor on LOTR and is the same on Narnia as well as a representative from Disney were all on hand to report on the progress of the film, and Prince Caspian!

Adamson was midway through shooting a scene adapted from C.S. Lewis’ classic children’s book, in which the children trek through the snow-covered fantasy world of Narnia and stumble upon a beavers’ cave.

The steam from the children’s breath will be added later using computer technology, as will about 50 per cent of the film.
