  So actually, the professor didnt know the wardrobe was a gateway to Narnia, but rather he travelled to Narnia when he was young and he witnessed Narnia's creation by Aslan. Before returning home from Narnia, he took with him an apple, which he planted on his garden, then when the appletree fell, he used it's wood to create the wardrobe. That's why he is so surprised when he hears about Lucy finding Narnia by going through the wardrobe

  I'm still trying to get over the fact that Tolkien was like "you can't put a lamp post in a fantasy book" and C.S. Lewis was like "try me"😭

  An important detail from the books left out of the movie: The Turkish delight Edmund ate was enchanted so that anyone who tried one piece would go on eating it and eating it until they killed themselves, and they'd always want more if they had to stop. Basically that was enchanted meth, not powdered sugar on top.

  They're probably not freaking out so much because they're just kids, and kinds would be a lot more accepting of things like magic existing. A full grown adult would probably have a full blown meltdown if something like this happened to them.

  “Don’t site the dark magic to me witch! I was there when it was written” yes I do get chills every time I hear that line

  When they shot the scene where Lucy enters Narnia for the first time, they blindfolded the actress so when it came to filming the scene she would see the set for the first time and they'd get her genuine reaction

  A lot of the “random” things are explained in the books, but they were put in the books because C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien were friends and would criticize each other’s writing. Tolkien dared Lewis to put the lamppost in because it makes no sense. Also, Lewis added Santa Claus into the story because he represents Tolkien. It was to say that Tolkien brings a lot of joy into Lewis’ life, while also pissing Tolkien off because why tf is Santa in your book, Lewis?! Tolkien did the same in Lord of the Rings and based the Ent Treebeard on Lewis. It’s a wonderful friendship!

  fun fact: in the final battle where we see the the ice queen, she's actually wearing aslan's mane on her top which blends in with the rest of her hair, giving the illusion she has a lion's mane (taking aslan's "crown" as her own)

  The point of Aslan dying for someone so low and unworthy is because this entire series is a metaphor for what happened in the Bible. Aslan being Jesus, the stone table being the cross/the stone that rolled away when he came back, Edmund being every human being that sinned and didn't deserve being saved.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8vmpbv5Qtk&amp;t=398">6:38</a> keep in mind:<br><br>Edmund is a 10 year old boy in 1940 during world war 2 when there was sugar rationing and had been sent away to some stranger&apos;s house with his siblings who (particularly the elder 2) were being real jerks and had no idea that the seemingly kind lady offering the turkish delight was the literal embodiment of evil who would kill his family and himself once she no longer had any use for them.

  I love how you’re reprimanding Lucy when her character lived in the Early 20th Century. Not talking to strangers was just coming up as a concept lol

  This movie is one of the best ever book adaptations: casting, acting, set, story, music. They were very loyal to the original material, and made it even more epic than it originally were. You can see the crew was very passionate about it. I do hope you watch the sequel, Prince Caspian - it&apos;s almost as good as this one.
