  sort of unrelated – but doesn’t the CGI look so good in this movie?? It came out 2005! It looks better than a lot of movies today honestly

  Tilda Swinton was fantastic in this movie. She was quietly calculating, making you feel as though you could trust her. Her costume really added to this notion, since we're conditioned to accept white as being good.

  Tilda Swinton was also perfectly cast! Like most actors playing great villainous roles, her sheer presence makes the film better

  Her costumes have not left my mind since I watched this as a kid

  Finally. I always loved her costumes ESPECIALLY her war armor dress. Feminine & masculine. I just loved as Narnia got warmer, her dress turned grey and her crown melted smaller and smaller as she started losing power.

  I absolutely loved this video. I never noticed that the crown was melting and the fact that Pokemon inspired the idea of her dress evolving is just magnificent.

  The more grey dress and drippy-looking furs when she turns the fox to stone reminds me of melted-snow sludge too

  The badger fur is even worse when you remember that she turned mr. Beaver's friend badger to stone

  I wasn't aware that she ACTUALLY wore Aslan's mane during the war.  I thought she was just making a visual cue that Aslan had died.  I didn't dawn on me that it really was Aslan's mane.  No ONE could play the queen like Tilda Swinton!  She emoted true coldness and cruelty while looking almost ethereal.

  I'm confident that Greta Gerwig's supposed Chronicles of Narnia film(s) that may be in production at Netflix will be good. Still, I can't deny that there is one significant element that any future adaptations of these books can ever match: the casting of Tilda Swinton. Arguably, these phenomenal costumes added many layers to the character and can't be reached, but she made this role feel lived in, and she is the thing that you remember most when looking back on the film. Maybe not, but for me, she is. As a kid, this movie was the coolest thing. A talking lion, centaurs, talking animals, battles, sword fights, magic, etc. I last saw this film over a decade ago. But, back then and even now, whenever I think of this film or parts of it, her level of screen presence and performance as the witch is the first thing that comes to mind.
