I just watched the movie again this weekend, then it is very fresh in my mind!
Acting/Characters: The acting of Georgie, Tilda, Skander, and James was phenomenal. Those 4 were the all-time grapheme translations from the book as well. Decent acting by Will and Anna. I never really felt continued to their characters though. I'thou not sure if that was considering of their interim or because of the way their characters were written. Most of the minor characters such as Ginnabrick and the beavers were done nicely. I absolutely LOVED Liam Neeson as Aslan, only I didn't like how his character was portrayed. It felt like they weakened him.
Design of the Moving picture:
Excellent! I loved the style the Wardrobe looked. Professor's house was great. Snowy Narnia was well done. Tumnus' house was fantastic. Beavers dam was good. The Stone Table was done nicely as well. The only major ready I did non like was Cair Paravel. It merely felt way to Disneyis. Equally far a locations, squeamish selection! Information technology wasn't LOTR, just it didn't need to exist. Fairly good blitheness on the beavers, wolves, and fox. Aslan was good,. He obviously had the most attention payed to. He could have been a fiddling bigger though. Nice lighting throughout the movie.
Script:
It was alright. Sure parts of the dialogue were cheesy and cliched. It would have been nice if they kept more line from the book.
Major Changes/Additions:
The Rush at the start was nice. It helped fix the mood for the movie. Waterfall scene was light-headed and unnecessary. One of the biggest changes in my opinion, was the demotion of Aslan to an almost minor character. All the celebrity was given to the Pevensies for saving Narnia. They certainly helped, but without Aslan it could non have happened. My favorite addition to the motion-picture show was the jail scene at the White Witch's castle. Great character moments for Edmund at that place.
I recall this movie has aged the best out of the three movies. Nothing in it is super out-dated. Definitely will always go along it in my collection and will show my kids anytime (something I cannot say nigh another Narnia movie *COUGH*)
I don't recall my opinion has greatly changed since I showtime saw it. A little flake of the magic has worn off now though. It's still extremely enjoyable. Good movie and decent adaptation.

Well, it's been six years now. Wow.
Every bit a book fan now, I tin can say my views on the film have changed greatly. As an eight year old, the pic was pure magical and perfect for Christmas.
Now, I remember as it differently. It is a practiced motion picture, but I wish that Aslan'south graphic symbol had more development. Aslan just felt similar a secondary graphic symbol, whereas in the book, He was the centre of it.
And you know, equally with the rest of the Narnia series, I think that LWW could have been even more special if more risks were taken. If that had happened, I accept beliefs that Narnia could take been as successful, or even more, than Lord of the Rings was.

I haven't watched this movie in 2/3 years-- I really, actually demand to. *has been intending to* LWW always has a special place in my middle because it was the movie that made me honey Narnia. I was so depressed when they came back from Narnia, until we saw the concluding scene when the professor tells her that they might go back and and then Aslan'southward roar comes from the wardrobe... Reading the rest of the books and learning that the same characters were related to the whole serial simply made my reading life. This is one of those movies that I can concurrently enjoy with and separately from the volume. Considering despite the very present differences from the book, the essence and spirit of this movie was and so close to that of the volume. Because LWW prompted me to read the book and the rest of the ones in the series, then it holds a very, very special place for me. I watched it for the starting time time in 2005/6, I recollect it was. After watching it, I could not picket any other movie because I was so blown abroad and enchanted by Narnia, so my sister and I watched information technology literally around 33 times before owning it. 
The scenery, the CGI, the emotions, the soundtrack (!!!), and the sets... all of it is so beautiful, I want to live in that movie. 
-Did you similar the actors and how the characters were translated to screen? Most definitely. I call up they all did their roles immense justice.
-Did you like what was added/taken away/inverse from the book? I don't know... to exist honest, I don't call back I've read the Narnia series enough to be able to compare properly (unless it's PC or VotD). I don't know if I like it, but I tin embrace the book and the motion-picture show. The Nifty River was not in the volume and I enjoy reading the book with the sequence it has without that scene, but I ditto Liberty, the Not bad River scene gives me goosebumps to this day. I love it to pieces. (just thinking of it and the gorgeous soundtrack, also)
-Did you like the ready design? Very much so.
-How did yous feel nigh the dialogue? On this point, I definitely demand to rewatch the movie. I recollect the but matter I recall being a bit not to my liking was when Maugrim was talking to Peter before the Bang-up River scene.
-How have your inital feelings on the flick changed? Not very much.
-Do you remember the motion-picture show has "anile well"? Yep.
I do need to see because I am very slightly convinced when people say there was more emphasis on the children saving Narnia rather than Aslan. I do demand to watch it to determine how I experience nigh that. I definitely do demand to re-watch the picture show to re-gauge on dialogue and grapheme development, just I think in that location will always exist a function of me that will love LWW for all that it is because of the special place it holds in my centre.

There isn't one thing in the whole movie that I could say "I don't like that"!
It all the same makes me cry, I still become chills, I however laugh at all the funny parts (even though I know pretty much every line!).
Some the special effects don't seem quite so amazing at present, but neither does LotR, and information technology really doesn't take abroad from the story at all!

I've finally received the 'round tuit' which allowed me to watch Walden'due south LWW as well every bit PC & VDT. Yes, I saw the moving picture and fifty-fifty take the DVD. Information technology is just that I haven't watched it in a while, and only started to watch it in comparison with a DVD version of the old cartoon LWW.
How exercise you feel about LWW every bit a picture show in general and as an adaptation?
I felt Walden's LWW is still a far better version of LWW than either the cartoon version or BBC's television version. I thought the air-raid beginning of the film was most appropriate and set the background creditably for the ensuing films besides.
Overall, I thought the picture was good, though I did not feel quite the aforementioned shiver of wonder that I felt when I first saw the movie. Every bit an adaptation, I had no problems with whatever changes and thought the film all the same works well.
-Did you like the actors and how the characters were translated to screen?
The two kid actors who played Lucy and Edmund did amazing jobs with their characters. But what I noticed nigh most them was how immature these two actors playing the Pevensies were, compared to the other movies. Probably if in that location had not been such a big gap between LWW and PC, this ageing of all the Pevensies would not accept been quite so obvious in the later movie. Even Georgie Henley and Skandar Keynes had grown upwards quite considerably by PC, whilst past that time, the older Pevensies were really pushing it to play fourteen or 15 year olds.
I did notice though that Volition Moseley'south LWW Peter was every bit as bad-tempered, especially with Edmund, as his PC version of Peter was to be with Caspian. The main difference between the movies was that LWW's Peter's anger could be considered more justifiable than is the case in PC, and that his LWW version of Peter was a chip more inclined to apologise for his aroused treatment of Edmund.
I take to admit that even in the volume, Susan is not i of my favourite characters, and that my views about how this character was portrayed have not inverse from half-dozen years ago. I nonetheless recall Anna Popplewell's version of her character was spot on. She played the character with then much denial of what Lucy was trying to tell her. I also noticed that but as in the book, Susan seemed and so much less perturbed than was Peter past Edmund's duplicity and so much more than set to think that there was something wrong with Lucy.
Did anyone notice that it was Susan whose archery killed the Witch'south dwarf sleigh driver?
I loved Jim Broadbent'south version of the Professor, in item. Tilda Swinton was suitably sinister as the White Witch. On the whole, I liked the acting, and felt that with abounding theatrical versions on testify that trying a new film version would be most inappropriate at this time.
-Did you like what was added/taken away/changed from the book?
I had no bug with about changes from the book, especially the waterfall/ice-breaking scene which made the Pevensie escape wait somewhat less anticipated and easy than is the case in the volume. Nevertheless, I felt confused past how shut the Beavers and the remaining Pevensies got to the Witch's business firm, in pursuit of Edmund, in dissimilarity to the book. I don't think this closeness is necessary and gives them less creditable motion picture time to get away.
The Father Christmas scene was done to perfection, but I missed the Christmas dinner party Edmund and the White Witch came across whilst sledding to the Stone Table. Different the book Susan, Anna Popplewell's grapheme does practise a bit of shooting - she kills the Witch's dwarf. A prelude for the PC Susan'south battle functioning, mayhap?
-Did y'all like the gear up design?
No problems with it, overall. I notice that LOTR-style architecture is still to exist expected in other fantasy movies as well as the Hobbit.
-How did you experience about the dialogue?
I've had to watch over a lifetime whilst simply almost everything that was ever said in my post WW2 youth has become 'cheesy' and overused to later generations, including the very word 'cheesy', so I can't really complain about dialogue, tin I? At least in that location is some. 
Do nosotros really want to go back to the silent movies of my grandmother'due south youth? 
Meanwhile, I thought the Cartoon version of LWW was too 1970'south.
I do agree that Philip (significant lover of horses) is not actually a good name for Edmund's equus caballus, though. I'm glad the mice in LWW didn't speak. 'I'm a mouse' did seem a bit 'cheesy' when spoken too many times.
-How accept your inital feelings on the film changed?
My initial feelings well-nigh the movie take changed a little, I guess. My participation on NarniaWeb has made me a scrap more critical and more than sceptical. 
-Practice you think the film has "aged well"?
Yes. I think that it is still the all-time version of LWW the book available, and as such would nevertheless fit in well with a new serial of Narnia movies, which would become some style to overcoming the characters' age differences should the rest of the books be filmed in a chronological order.

Well, having watched it for the outset time in about 2 years recently, I can safely say that I love it merely every bit much as I did half-dozen years agone 
It's just an awesome pic. The special effects, the music, the acting...everything. It'south only perfect then well-made.

1.Did you like the actors and how the characters were translated to screen?
Yep, I really similar Skandar and Georgie and how they portrayed Edmund and Lucy. Anna did a good chore too, and I loved the fact that they gave her dark brown hair. Merely although I liked Will for Peter his character was not translated well on the screen. I didn't like the reluctant king.
2. Did you similar what was added/taken away/changed from the book?
I would have preferred that they followed the book and was saddened by the fact that they took stuff away.
3.Did you like the fix design?
I loved the fix design.
iv. How did you experience almost the dialogue?
I felt it was very English language. Pretty funny jokes.
5. How have your inital feelings on the film inverse?
No. Not really. I nevertheless love the flick.
vi.Do you lot think the picture has "anile well"?
I recollect so.

-Did you similar the actors and how the characters were translated to screen? Yes, very much and so. I felt that the actors did an splendid task of bringing life to the characters. Everyone was vivid, but Georgie in particular blew me away with her functioning. I think that was because she was and so young at the time; finding young actors who tin can pull off a functioning like that is rather hard.
-Did you like what was added/taken away/changed from the book? While watching the movie, I wasn't paying that much attending to what was changed from the book. However, I did find that Lucy originally found the wardrobe through exploration of the house and went back during hide-and-seek. Personally, I think the fact that she constitute it while hiding from Peter made a bit more sense.
-Did you like the set pattern? Yes, it was wonderful.
-How did you feel virtually the dialogue? Dandy experience for the characters.
-How have your inital feelings on the film inverse? Nope.
-Practice you think the moving picture has "anile well"? Yes.

It'south kind of weird thinking it's been so long since this flick came out.
-Did you similar the actors and how the characters were translated to screen?
I very much liked the actors. They were all well casted. Georgie Henley was probably the all-time. Liam Neeson did good for Aslan'due south vox. I think the White Witch's design was good and interesting. I would have liked to have seen a more accurate wait from the volume though.
-Did y'all like what was added/taken abroad/changed from the book?
Honestly, when I watched the movie none of the changes actually stood out to me. For case, the reasons Lucy and and so the children enter the wardrobe. The last time they all enter, I remember reading nigh it earlier watching the movie, then I noticed that one.
-Did you like the set design?
I think it was good. Nix that really stood out equally AMAZING, simply it was sufficient enough.
-How did you feel near the dialogue?
They did a pretty good job at trying to make it more modern dialogue without changing/ruining the main characters or hurting the story. I now realize that they should have focused more on Aslan saving Narnia, rather than the children. However, the dialogue is also sufficient, with including every bit petty cheesy/cliche lines as they could.
-How have your inital feelings on the moving picture changed?
I notwithstanding remember it'south a good, maybe smashing, film. Fifty-fifty though I don't like the last two films, those 2 haven't ruined LWW for me. Information technology doesn't have as much of the same splendor and wonder that information technology had when I offset watched it. Mostly considering I've seen it and then many times.
-Do you lot think the pic has "aged well"?
I think so. Somewhen the CGI will show it'due south age. But almost all movie effects usually will as engineering progresses. Exercise I call up this movie will stand the exam of time? Maybe, I'thou leaning more towards yeah. But it won't make a mark in fantasy films similar Lord of the Rings has. The Narnia series, in general, oftentimes seems less pop than LOTR. So, the movie volition follow suit with other Narnia media.
Other Thoughts
I've seen this film many times. I can still sit down and scout information technology. I have to be in the mood for watching something with a lot of wintertime scenes in it though. When I first watched it, I was still new to Narnia. Almost all the scenes from the book seemed to be in tact. The changes that were made to the story weren't also noticeable to me. Aslan'south expiry scene was kind of disappointing. It wasn't as distressing, intense or as emotionally impacting as I would hope it would be. Just I guess the best description of how this moving-picture show has fabricated me feel in times past would be my sister's response when she first saw the film and credits were rolling. She kind of just permit out a long jiff/sigh, as to say, "wow... that was cool."
Good film. Skillful literal adaption, scene-wise. Theme-wise information technology falls a footling short, kind of leaving you wanting more. If they were to make another pic, I would discover information technology quite difficult to practice also or better than this motion picture.

Did you like the actors and how the characters were translated to screen?
I liked them all except for Susan and Jadis.
Susan in the books seemed more to me similar a "motherly worrier". I call back it was a part of her character to try to mother her siblings every bit role of her desire to grow upwardly. And she as well had a habit of being fearful. Movie!Susan worried somewhat, but it seemed to be in a different way. I call up she was more than afraid of doing something "illogical" than trying to keep her siblings out of danger. She was more dry and intellectual than motherly.
With Jadis, I was hoping they wouldn't make her then... cold. ( 
) I mean, she's supposed to be cold when it comes to temperature. Simply when information technology comes to personality, she always gave me the impression of existence very hot-tempered in the books. Tilda Swinton's Jadis was very cruel and angry. Merely it was done in a very stone-faced style. And I thought information technology was that feisty nature that made the character interesting in the book.
-Did you like what was added/taken away/changed from the volume?
I definitely liked the trick graphic symbol they added. I thought the petal pattern of the dryads was pretty cool. And it was nice to see some of the scenes that were added, because it's a gamble to run across the characters practise things I hadn't seen them do before. As much as I love the books, after reading them multiple times, I get-go to wish at that place was more to read well-nigh them. And changes in movies can often provide that.
I had some problems with the changes, simply mostly minor things. I think the worst part was that they, at times, put more importance on the inflow of the children than the arrival of Aslan.
-Did you lot similar the set blueprint?
I thought it was lovely. Beautiful. I really felt similar it was set up in Narnia. And that's something you lot don't expect, since it's a world with such a unique feel to information technology.
-How did you feel most the dialogue?
I think I liked well-nigh of it a good deal. The jokes actually fabricated me express joy, as opposed to the cheesy humor in the other Narnia films. I think the movie was, overall, well-written.
-How accept your inital feelings on the moving-picture show changed?
Aye, merely non because of the film itself. I so disliked the ii Narnia movies which came later on it that I recall they may accept tainted my view of the franchise equally a whole. When I heard the word "Narnia moving-picture show" a few years back, information technology would bring a smile to my face considering I would be thinking of LWW. Merely now it just makes me grimace. I hope that changes in the future. I would like to come to the betoken where I regard LWW as carve up from the others, so I can savor information technology like I did when information technology first came out.
-Practise yous recall the film has "anile well"?
Information technology depends on what y'all hateful by that. It's a movie I'll e'er want on my shelf, certainly. And I definitely programme to pass it on to my children. However, I don't often hear people talking most information technology nowadays. I never hear friends say, "Oh, we're sitting down to watch The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" like I hear them say near the LOTR movies. Peradventure their view of it has as well been tainted by the other two movies, though I hope that isn't the case.

I just finished watching LWW yesterday, and I was surprised by some fresh thoughts that came to heed.
-Did you similar the actors and how the characters were translated to screen?
I did. I was especially pleased with the manner we understand each graphic symbol in the first 3 minutes of the movie (the bombing scene) with practically no dialogue. This is a very interesting indicate - the director managed to show the general character and role of each of the children in the very beginning of the movie without telling u.s.a. about them. In the get-go v minutes, you already understand that A - Peter is the older son who is worried for his family members, B - Susan is a concerned older sister with a caput on her shoulders (you'll discover the beginning thing she does in the moving-picture show is run in with a flashlight looking for something to take with her - how many people would think of that in a moment of panic?) C - Edmund is kind of jerk with a rebellious, but notwithstanding practiced heart (as in he's not entirely incorrigible - a hint to the fact that he's going to be getting on everyone'southward nerves, only he may alter later on because he however has skilful in him - the dear for his father) D - Lucy is the baby of the family who everyone is looking out for. We get all this in the bombing scene alone - I call up that's pretty impressive work for a manager (and the actors, of course) in regards towards graphic symbol evolution, no?
On the other mitt, though, I think the White Witch'southward character was played down for what it could accept been. While Tilda Swinton is amazing, I expected something more grandiose from her - something more stately, more powerful...maybe a deeper vocalisation or a more than flowing costume...I'k non sure. I recall it simply chosen for a more commanding presence...I would have liked to come across Cate Blanchett in that role - I think she would have pulled it off better.
-Did you like what was added/taken abroad/changed from the volume?
Yes, I exercise feel that the Aslan resurrection scene was underrated. In the book, the whole story revolves effectually Aslan - indirectly at first, but more vividly later on. The whole indicate of the volume is that Edmund betrayed his family, and at that place is no escape for him except decease, and Aslan takes this punishment upon himself (an analogy to Christ), and then that although the story starts with the Pevensies, it ends up really revolving around Aslan. Aslan's death and resurrection is the climax of the book. In the moving-picture show, the climax is the battle, and the resurrection is treated more as a means to an terminate - the battle can only be won when Aslan is in that location to win it, while in the book the real battle is already won when Aslan has resurrected - the physical boxing is just a little make clean up part he has to do afterwards (over again, in reference to Christianity, as the battle for our sins was won when Christ died and resurrected from the cross), We tin can meet this when we run into, in the book, that only one sentence and a footling description from Peter is used to describe the battle. The movie, in an endeavour to add "epic-ness" makes a big battle scene and a curt resurrection. While I practise think the battle is cracking and amazing and powerful, I would like to run across a less spectacular battle and more spectacular resurrection, because that's the more important function of the book (In my opinion)
-Did you like the set up pattern?
Yes, very much, especially the Beaver's House, and, of course, Mr. Tumnus's firm. I would have liked to come across a fleck more white and bluish rather than green in the Witch's palace...but maybe green is adept as well, as it adds an eeriness to it all.
-How did y'all feel almost the dialogue?
Generally ok, a wee fleck cheesy in some places. I honey all of Aslan's lines - they're just perfect. The kids' lines, and some of the Witch's lines seemed a little...kiddy (but over again, it may have been the performance of them, not just the lines)
-How take your inital feelings on the film inverse?
I guess since I've seen the movie 16 times, my initial feelings have been changing very gradually, so I tin't honestly answer that question. I practise nonetheless think it is an amazing movie, a children'southward picture, but nevertheless amazing, epic, and powerful. I nevertheless recommend it to everyone I see, and am proud to call myself a fan of it!
-Do you think the pic has "aged well"?
I'm non exactly sure what this question ways...I judge I would say 'yes'. It wasn't really tied down to any 'modern' opinions or even mannerisms of its time, which makes it really very timeless and relevant to watch at any fourth dimension, both present and time to come. Some CG parts do look a little patchy now that I look at information technology (peculiarly some shots that were obviously green-screened) merely overall I retrieve it is a movie that has stood the test of time, and remains an enjoyable, intriguing, and memorable moving picture to spotter.
Other Thoughts
Oh, boy, I feel and so long-wended that I don't know what else to write, actually. I was and then pleasantly surprised to see then much subtlety and expert directing in comparison to VoDT. I liked it much more than any of the subsequent movies -including PC. I think LWW, even though it has some weak points, some weak acting and cheesy lines, and some weak adaption points, it is a archetype and the all-time of the series.
