Has anyone seen it? I loved it ;D Re-newed my love for it- I didn't see the books but I saw the first version and it was cruddy ... but this one was the best ever! I didn't expect something this great to have come from Disney since Pixar ^^ Anyways ... I loved Mr. Tumnus.
And I'm half-asleep so forgive me for not having anything interesting to say. Lol ^^

Yeah I've seen it. Personally, I can't believe DISNEY made something like this...
In any case... The story itself was true to the original movies made in Britian (Which I DO have by the way, I have the ORIGINAL first three movies of the Chronicals of Narnia, including "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe", "The Silver Chair", and some other one I can't remember...something about a prince).
They did a good job on the various creature animations, which I give them props for.

Yeah, I have those. The first was good, but the other two just lost me. ;D
Yep, the animals were cool. I heard from a friend that they were animated the same way King Kong was- they had an actor in a green suit act like the animal would and added the animation in afterwards, resizing the actor to the animal's true height.

I've seen the movie! It was so cool! Although I think my sister was a little upset that wolves were the bad guys. She loves wolves.

Yeah, he was a very interesting character- was meant to be one of the bad guys because of the way he looked, but was actually good. ;D

I thought that the fox was awesome! ;D Very cute, yet resourceful and a good liar. I was like "nuuuuu!!!1!" when he was "killed" (well, medusa-ized) by the witch - and I grinned so much when he came back in the end (same with Mr.Tumnus, in fact). It really should be cheesy that almost all, if not all, of the "dead" characters were ressurected in the end, but they manage to make it sweet.

I love foxes too! I was deeply disturbed when he turned into stone by the witch, but happy when he came back to flesh and bone again.

The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the best book series ever. That's all I have to say for now.

Speaking of Narnia...two days ago, I went to West Ed, and bought, among other things, the soundtrack to Narnia, because I thought that some of the choral bits were really nice (especially in the battle scenes). However.... they tricked me. -_-; I thought I was buying the soundtrack, because, silly me, it had the Lion and "Chronicles of Narnia" on the cover. What I bought in actual fact, the box informed me in tiny letters above the title, was "music inspired by" the Chronicles of Narnia. So what I actually got was a bunch of really odd, not-to-my-taste pop music blaring about "ice queens". >_<; And since it's already been opened, I can't return it. Meh, I'll probably just end up giving it to someone as a birthday present.... Le sigh. -_-;
