Saw The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe last night with the beauteous fiancee. Four thumbs up! I thought it was wonderful. One’s always going to have quibbles, but since the movies were so different from my own internal vision of Narnia, I think I could approach them on their own terms. Some great moments:
- Lucy and Mr. Tumnus both hiding behind inadequate objects. If I can’t see you…
- The light in the professor’s eyes: “The wardrobe, you say?”
- The Talking Rhinocerous.
- The red Lion rampant on a silver shield.
- My name is Phillip!
