As far as what movies to watch (though those are on the list), if YOU two enjoy it then we will almost certainly enjoy it.

It is good that Chi is there to prevent her from falling under the witch's spell. I was half expecting Hela to suddenly be wearing a thick jacket while watching all the frost-filled forests and ice castle. Stay warm you two! Oh, and ya, start the Harry Potter-verse. It takes some time to get into, but after watching your reaction here I would love to see the same look of wonder on both your faces again. And Hela would finally get to trust some witches.

Everything about it is just amazing. Fun facts: Georgie Henley's (Lucy) first reaction to Narnia is genuine. They didn't let her see the set until they filmed it. Her reaction to Mr. Tumnus is also genuine, for she had not seen James McAvoy in his costume before the scene was filmed. Georgie Henley's older sister, Rachael Henley, plays grown-up Lucy. The character of the White Witch was inspired by the Snow Queen from the story of Hans Christian Andersen (Elsa from Frozen is loosely based on her too since she was originally supposed to be the villain). Also, the Turkish Delight was addictive, making the one who ate it want more and more as well as being more susceptible to give out information. But Edmund's longing to be King definitely helped. C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were very close friends. Tolkien was even instrumental in Lewis' own conversion to Christianity. Aslan represents Jesus Christ who sacrificed himself and died for our sins (in this case Edmund) and rose back from the dead because he was an innocent. Although Lewis did not originally set out to incorporate Christian elements and themes into the books, it is something that occurred as he wrote them. J.K. Rowling has said she was influenced by Narnia and whether it was on purpose or not, each of the Pevensie children represent each of the houses in Hogwarts. Peter = Gryffindor: Brave, loyal, honourable, chivalrous, a natural fighter & leader and protects his family at all costs but is impulsive and proud. Edmund = Slytherin: Ambitious, intelligent, resourceful, falls into temptation to gain power & recognition. Susan = Ravenclaw: Logical, wise, intelligent, witty, caring and often the voice of reason. Lucy = Hufflepuff: Kind, helpful, selfless, forgives easily and treats everyone as equals. She also has a bit of Gryffindor in her: Brave and loyal. The third film is not as good as the other two but still entertaining (mainly because of the legend that is Eustace!). But it's unfortunate cuz they never finished the franchise. They were also competing with bigger franchises like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. They were gonna adapt The Magician's Nephew, the first book of the series, until Walden Media lost its rights to the franchise in 2011. The Mark Gordon Company retained the rights instead to adapt the next book in the franchise, The Silver Chair. But for some reason that never happened, and in 2018, Netflix acquired the rights to develop their own Narnia reboot. In 2023 it was announced that Greta Gerwig was set to direct at least two of the novels for Netflix (whether it's two of these remade or any of the other four I don't know).
