[Mr Beaver is carefully testing the strength of the ice. It starts to crack beneath him]
Mrs. Beaver: You`ve been sneaking second helpings, haven`t you?
Mr. Beaver: Well, you never know which meal`s gonna be your last. Especially with your cooking.
Mr. Beaver: When Adam`s Flesh and Adam`s bone sits at Cair Paravel in throne, the evil time will be over and done.
Susan Pevensie: You know that doesn`t really rhyme.
Fox: Forgive me, your Majesty.
Jadis The White Witch: Oh, don`t waste my time with flattery.
Fox: Not to seem rude, but I wasn`t actually talking to you.
[looks at Edmund]
Fox: This is what becomes of those who cross the witch.
Mr. Beaver: You take one more step, traitor, and I`ll chew you to splinters!
Fox: Relax. I`m one of the good guys.
Mr. Beaver: Yeah? Well, you look an awful lot like one of the bad ones.
Fox: An unfortunate family resemblance. But we can argue breeding later. Right now we`ve got to move.
Fox: Greetings, gents. Lost something have we?
Maugrim: Don`t patronize me! I know where your allegiance lies. We`re looking for some humans.
Fox: Humans? Here in Narnia? That`s a valuable bit of information, don`t you think?
[Mr. Beaver takes the Pevensies to his house]
Mrs. Beaver: Those aren`t badgers!
Ginarrbrik: [to Edmund] This way for your num-nums.
Susan Pevensie: The professor knew we were coming.
Edmund Pevensie: Perhaps we`ve been incorrectly labeled.
Jadis The White Witch: I can make anything you like.
Edmund Pevensie: Can you make me taller?
Jadis The White Witch: You know, Aslan, I`m a little disappointed in you. Did you honestly think by all this that you could save the human traitor? You are giving me your life and saving no one. So much for love. Tonight, the Deep Magic will be appeased, but tomorrow, we will take Narnia forever! In that knowledge, despair... and die!
[about to charge into battle]
Peter Pevensie: For Narnia and for Aslan!
Professor Kirke: You seem to have upset the delicate internal balance of my housekeeper.
Peter Pevensie: We`re very sorry, sir, it won`t happen again.
Susan Pevensie: It`s our sister, sir. Lucy.
Professor Kirke: The weeping girl?
Susan Pevensie: Yes, sir. She`s upset.
Professor Kirke: Hence the weeping.
Aslan: If the Witch knew the true meaning of sacrifice, she might have interpreted the deep magic differently. That when a willing victim who has committed no treachery, is killed in a traitor`s stead, the stone table will crack, and even death itself would turn backwards.
Aslan: [almost in a roar] Do not cite the Deep Magic to me Witch. I was there when it was written.
Peter Pevensie: [to Edmund after hitting him with the cricket ball] Wake up, Dolly Daydream!
Maugrim: Be still, stranger, or you`ll never move again. Who are you?
Edmund Pevensie: I`m Edmund. I met the Queen in the woods. She told me to come back here. I`m a Son of Adam!
Maugrim: Hmmm, my apologies, fortunate favored of the queen. Or else, not so fortunate.
Peter Pevensie: When are you gonna learn to grow up?
Edmund Pevensie: Shut up! You think you`re dad, but you`re NOT!
Peter Pevensie: Why can`t you think about anyone but yourself? You`re so selfish! You could have got us killed!
Peter Pevensie: [to Edmund, after Lucy heals him] When are you gonna learn to do as you`re told?
Edmund Pevensie: [to Susan] Yes mum!
Edmund Pevensie: If home`s still there.
[the witch has discovered Edmund has been rescued by Aslan`s forces, and Ginarrbrik tied to the tree in Edmund`s place]
Ginarrbrik: You`re not going to kill me?
Jadis The White Witch: Not yet.
Susan Pevensie: Why are they all staring at us?
Lucy Pevensie: Maybe they think you look funny.
Mr. Beaver: Peter said, `Get out of here!`
Edmund Pevensie: Peter`s not king yet!
Mr. Tumnus, the Faun: And what about you? You must be some kind of beardless dwarf?
Lucy Pevensie: I`m not a dwarf! I`m a girl. And actually, I`m tallest in my class.
Mr. Tumnus, the Faun: You mean to say that you`re a daughter of Eve?
Lucy Pevensie: [confused] Well, my mum`s name is Helen...
Mr. Tumnus, the Faun: Y-Yes, but, you are in fact... human?
Lucy Pevensie: I wouldn`t lie about this!
Edmund Pevensie: Well, I believe you.
Lucy Pevensie: You do?
Edmund Pevensie: Yeah, of course. Didn`t I tell you about the football field in the bathroom cupboard?
[Mrs. Beaver is packing food before they flee from the wolves]
Peter Pevensie: What`s she doing?
Mrs. Beaver: Oh, you`ll be thanking me later. It`s a long journey, and Beaver gets pretty cranky when he`s hungry.
Mr. Beaver: I`m cranky now!
Peter Pevensie: Maybe we could call to the police.
Susan Pevensie: [waving Maugrim`s parchment] These ARE the police!
Peter Pevensie: We just want our brother back.
Susan Pevensie: [about Lucy] She thinks she`s found a magical land... In the upstairs wardrobe.
Professor Kirke: [eyes widening, he rushes to the children] What did you say?
Peter Pevensie: Um, the wardrobe. Upstairs. Lucy thinks she`s found a forest inside.
Susan Pevensie: She won`t stop going on about it.
Professor Kirke: What was it like?
Susan Pevensie: Like talking to a lunatic.
Professor Kirke: No, no, no. Not her, the forest!
Susan Pevensie: [stares] You`re not saying you believe her?
Professor Kirke: You don`t?
Susan Pevensie: But, of course not. I mean, logically it`s impossible.
Professor Kirke: What do they teach in schools these days?
Susan Pevensie: Besides, we could all use the fresh air.
Edmund Pevensie: It`s not like there isn`t air inside.
Peter Pevensie: I`m gonna kill him.
Mr. Beaver: You may not have to. Has Edmund ever been to Narnia before?
Mrs. Beaver: It`s the world, dear. Did you expect it to be small?
Susan Pevensie: Smaller.
Lucy Pevensie: Are you all right? You look awful.
Edmund Pevensie: Well, what do you expect? I mean, it`s freezing! How do we get out of here?
Peter Pevensie: She`s right. He`s gone.
Edmund Pevensie: Then you`ll have to lead us.
[pause]
Edmund Pevensie: Peter, there`s an army out there, and it`s ready to follow you.
Peter Pevensie: I can`t.
Edmund Pevensie: Aslan believed you could. And so do I.
Peter Pevensie: [to Oreius right before battle] Are you with me?
Oreius: To the death.
Jadis The White Witch: [to Edmund] Tell me, Edmond. Are your sisters deaf?
Edmund Pevensie: No.
Jadis The White Witch: And your brother, is he unintelligent?
Edmund Pevensie: Well, I think so. But Mum says...
Jadis The White Witch: [shouting] Then how dare you come alone!
Jadis The White Witch: I have no interest in prisoners. Kill them all.
Mr. Tumnus: [sees Lucy looking at picture] Now, that... that is my father.
Lucy Pevensie: He has a nice face. He looks a lot like you!
Mr. Tumnus: No. No, I`m not very much like him at all, really.
Lucy Pevensie: My father`s fighting in the war.
Mr. Tumnus: My father went away to war too. But that was a long, long time ago.
Mr. Tumnus: Now, are you familiar with any Narnian lullabies?
Lucy Pevensie: Sorry, no.
Mr. Tumnus: Well that`s good, because this probably won`t sound anything like one.
Older Lucy: [looking at the lamppost as Queen of Narnia] Spare `Oom!
Maugrim: [circling Peter who is holding a sword] C`mon. We`ve been through this before. We both know you havn`t got it in you.
[the White Witch is about to kill the Fox]
Edmund Pevensie: Wait, no don`t. Beaver said something about The Stone Table. And that Aslan had an army there.
Jadis The White Witch: An army? Thank you, Edmund. I`m glad this creature got to see some honesty... before he dies!
[Jadis turns the Fox into stone]
Mr. Beaver: Come on, humans. While we`re still young!
Peter Pevensie: If he tells us to hurry one more time, I`m gonna turn him into a big, fluffy hat.
Aslan: Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen. May your wisdom grace us until the stars rain down from the heavens.
Lucy Pevensie: It`s all right! I`m back! I`m all right!
Edmund Pevensie: Shut up! He`s coming!
Peter Pevensie: You know, I`m not sure you two have quite got the idea of this game.
Lucy Pevensie: Weren`t you wondering where I was?
Edmund Pevensie: That`s the point. That was why he was seeking you!
Susan Pevensie: Does this mean I win?
Peter Pevensie: I don`t think Lucy wants to play anymore.
Susan Pevensie: I`m just trying to be realistic!
Peter Pevensie: No, you`re trying to be smart, as usual!
Jadis The White Witch: [after stabbing Aslan] The great cat is dead!
Older Edmund: You all right, Phillip?
Philip the Horse: [panting] I`m not as young as I once was.
Peter Pevensie: I don`t suppose saying "we`re sorry" would quite cover it?
Lucy Pevensie: No, it wouldn`t.
[pelts him with a snowball]
Lucy Pevensie: But that might!
Maugrim: [to Susan and Lucy] Please don`t try to run. We`re tired...
Wolf: ...And we`d prefer to kill you quickly.
Maugrim: You may think you`re a king, but you`re going to die like a dog!
Jadis The White Witch: How do I know your promise will be kept?
[Aslan roars]
[last lines]
Professor Kirke: What were you all doing in the wardrobe?
Peter Pevensie: You wouldn`t believe us if we told you, sir.
Professor Kirke: [tosses the cricket ball that had been hit through the window, to Peter]
Professor Kirke: Try me.
[later, alone with Lucy, who is trying to use the wardrobe to enter Narnia]
Professor Kirke: I don`t think you`ll get back in that way. You see... I`ve already tried.
Lucy Pevensie: Will we ever go back?
Professor Kirke: Oh, I expect so. But it`ll probably happen when you`re not looking for it. All the same... best to keep your eyes open.
[Aslan roars]
Peter Pevensie: Well done, Ed.
Edmund Pevensie: You bowled it!
[first lines]
Mrs. Pevensie: Edmund! Get away from there! Peter!
[to Edmund]
Mrs. Pevensie: What do you think you`re doing? Peter! Quickly, the shelter! Now!
[Peter hands Edmund a fur coat]
Edmund Pevensie: But that`s a girl`s coat!
Peter Pevensie: [nods] I know.
Lucy Pevensie: [to Susan, after meeting Father Christmas] Told you he was real!
Aslan: It is finished.
Mr. Tumnus: [of Aslan] He`s not a tame lion.
Lucy Pevensie: No... but he is good.
Lucy Pevensie: [holds out her hand] Pleased to meet you Mr. Tumnus, I`m Lucy Pevensie.
[Mr. Tumnus looks at her hand curiously]
Lucy Pevensie: Oh, you shake it.
Mr. Tumnus: Why?
Lucy Pevensie: I... I don`t know.
Jadis The White Witch: Do you know why you`re here, Faun?
Mr. Tumnus: Because, I believe in a free Narnia.
Jadis The White Witch: You`re here because *he* turned you in... for sweeties.
Lucy Pevensie: Narnia! It`s all in the wardrobe like I told you!
Susan Pevensie: Did that bird just "pssst" us?
Peter Pevensie: He said he knows the faun.
Susan Pevensie: He`s a beaver, he shouldn`t be saying anything!
Peter Pevensie: [looking out towards Cair Paravel] Aslan, I`m not who you all think I am.
Aslan: Peter Pevensie, formerly of Finchley. Beaver also mentioned that you planned on turning him into a hat.
Aslan: To the glistening eastern sea, I give you Queen Lucy the Valiant. To the great western wood, King Edmund the Just. To the radiant southern sun, Queen Susan the Gentle. And to the clear northern sky, I give you King Peter the Magnificent.
Susan Pevensie: Gastrovascular... Come on, Peter. Gastrovascular.
Peter Pevensie: Is it Latin?
Susan Pevensie: Yes.
Edmund Pevensie: Is it Latin for "worst game ever invented"?
[Susan shuts her dictionary]
Lucy Pevensie: We could play hide and seek?
Peter Pevensie: But, we`re already having so much fun.
[looks at Susan]
Mr. Beaver: There`s a right bit more than hope. Aslan... is on the move.
Mr. Tumnus: How would it be if you came and had tea with me?
Father Christmas: Winter is almost over.
Mr. Tumnus: Always winter, never Christmas.
Peter Pevensie: I think you`ve made a mistake. We`re not heroes!
Susan Pevensie: We`re from Finchley!
Lucy Pevensie: Don`t beavers make dams?
Mr. Beaver: I`m not *that* fast, dear.
Peter Pevensie: Mrs. MacReady?
Mrs. MacReady: I`m afraid so.
Lucy Pevensie: Oh, I should go.
Mr. Tumnus: It`s too late for that, now. I`m such a terrible faun.
Lucy Pevensie: Oh, no. You`re the nicest faun I`ve ever met.
Mr. Tumnus: Then I`m afraid you`ve had a very poor sampling.
Lucy Pevensie: You can`t have done anything that bad.
Mr. Tumnus: It`s not something I have done, Lucy Pevensie. It`s something I am doing.
Lucy Pevensie: [suspiciously] What are you doing?
Mr. Tumnus: [whispers and in tears] I`m kidnapping you. It was the White Witch. She`s the one who makes it always winter, always cold. She gave orders. If any of us ever find a human wondering in the woods, we-we-we-we`re supposed to turn it over to her!
Lucy Pevensie: But, Mr. Tumnus, you wouldn`t. I thought you were my friend.
Susan Pevensie: [to Peter] Look, just because some man in a red coat hands you a sword it doesn`t make you a hero!
Jadis The White Witch: If it`s a war Aslan wants, it`s a war he shall get.
Gryphon: They come, your highness, in numbers and weapons far greater than our own.
Oreius: Numbers do not win a battle.
Peter Pevensie: No... but I bet they help.
Edmund Pevensie: [horse rears up] Whoa, Horsey.
Philip the Horse: My name is Philip.
[after Edmund apologizes for lying about not having been in Narnia]
Lucy Pevensie: [quoting Edmund] That`s all right. Some little children just don`t know when to stop pretending.
Edmund Pevensie: I shouldn`t have encouraged her but you know what little children are like these days. They just don`t know when to stop pretending.
[Peter sees Mr. Beaver in the woods and doesn`t yet know he can talk]
Peter Pevensie: Here, boy, tsk, tsk, tsk.
[holds out hand]
Mr. Beaver: I ain`t going to smell it if that`s what you want.
Ginarrbrik: [taunting Edmund, who has been tied to a tree and gagged] Is our little prince uncomfortable? Does he want his pillow fluffed? Special treatment for the special boy! Isn`t that what you wanted?
[Mrs. Beaver is healing Fox, who was injured by the Wolves]
Fox: I wish I could say their bark was worse than their bite. Ow!
Mrs. Beaver: Oh, stop squirming! You`re worse than Beaver on bath day.
Mr. Beaver: Worst day of the year.
[Susan enters Narnia for the first time]
Susan Pevensie: Impossible!
Aslan: Peter, clean your sword.
[the children and the Beavers are fleeing from the wolves in an underground tunnel]
Mrs. Beaver: You should have brought a map!
Mr. Beaver: [referring to Mrs. Beaver`s insistence on packing food before leaving] There wasn`t room next to the jam!
Ginarrbrik: [to Edmund] How dare you address the Queen of Narnia?
Susan Pevensie: Thank you for your hospitality, but we really have to go.
Mr. Beaver: Oh, you can`t just leave.
Lucy Pevensie: He`s right. We have to help Mr. Tumnus.
Jadis The White Witch: We have work to do.
Edmund Pevensie: Who`s Aslan?
Maugrim: [to Fox] You`re reward is your life. It`s not much. But still...
Gryphon: They come in numbers far greater than our own
Oreius: Numbers do not win a battle.
Peter Pevensie: No, but I bet they help.
Mrs. MacReady: Professor Kirke is not accustomed to havin` children in this house. And, as such, there are a few rules we need to follow. There will be no shoutin`. Or runnin`. No improper use of the dumbwaiter.
[Just as Susan is about to touch the nose of a marble bust on the stairway landing, Mrs. MacReady shouts]
Mrs. MacReady: No touchin` of the historical artifacts!
[Mrs. MacReady resumes her authoritative voice]
Mrs. MacReady: And above all, there shall be no disturbin` of the Professor.
Peter Pevensie: Mrs. MacReady?
Mrs. MacReady: I`m afraid so.
[pause as she looks the kids over and their meager baggage]
Mrs. MacReady: Is this it, then? Haven`t you brought anything else?
Peter Pevensie: No, Ma`am. It`s just us.
[Lucy nods her head yes]
Mrs. MacReady: Small favors.
[She nods her head for the children to climb into the horse cart]
Trivia
Walden has optioned the entire seven-part "Chronicles of Narnia" fantasy book series for film development.
The movie had two fake working titles: "The Hundred Year Winter" and "Paravel." Signs in Auckland that directed extras and crew to the sets had "Paravel" written on them.
#
# The Director, Andrew Adamson, who himself is from West Auckland, along with some of his production crew, were given a traditional Maori welcome in a meeting house near the West Auckland studios. This was done as a sign of respect to the native people of West Auckland, whose lands were used for filming locations.
When placing ads in "The New Zealand Herald" for extras, the first call was put out for people under five feet and over six feet four. Calls for extras were made in New Zealand`s main cities of Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch over a period of two weeks. Later calls were for moderately tall males and females.
The makers asked for permission to bring in twelve reindeer to New Zealand to pull the Ice Queen`s sled. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry denied, citing the potentially deadly Q Fever from which the North American reindeer population suffers as the reason. However, ten wolves were allowed in for filming in Auckland.
Tilda Swinton hadn`t read the book prior to filming.
Co-producer Douglas Gresham is the stepson of C.S. Lewis, author of the novel upon which the film is based.
Because Skandar Keynes wasn`t there at the time that they were filming the scene where Edmund follows Lucy into the wardrobe, Anna Popplewell wore his costume from the waist down and did the scene for him.
When the Pevensies are at the train station, Peter looks at a soldier. That soldier is played by Jaxin Hall, the runner-up who auditioned for the part of Peter and lost to William Moseley.
#
# Georgie Henley`s reaction to Mr. Tumnus at the lamppost is genuine. She had not seen her cast mate James McAvoy in his costume before the scene was filmed, so her screams and reaction were real. Georgie`s first reaction to the snowy world of Narnia is also genuine - she was carried into the set blindfolded to make her first entrance, and her wide-eyed, delighted reactions to it all are entirely her own.
#
# The motive power for the Pevensies` evacuation train was GWR 7802 Bradley Manor, one of the former Great Western Railway`s Manor-class steam locomotives. Nine out of the thirty Manor-class locomotives built survive today.
The movie was mostly shot in chronological order. The final scene where the Pevensie`s fall out of the wardrobe was shot before all the outdoor shots so the kids would still be pale and look like they had in the beginning of the film.
The historical artifact that Mrs. MacReady warns Susan not to touch is the bust of Dante Alighieri.
Brian Cox was originally set to voice Aslan.
When the adults` swearing got out of hand on the set, Georgie Henley (Lucy) set up a swear bucket. James McAvoy was supposedly the worst offender. Even her teenager co-stars had to pay their toll, though, especially Skandar Keynes, accordingly to DVD`s commentary.
EASTER EGG: On disc 2, on the menu for Evolution of an Epic, there`s a director`s chair on the left-hand side of the menu. Pointing your remote on it will cause a little red symbol to appear. Click on the symbol, and it takes you to a short featurette showing how much Turkish delight Skandar Keynes had to eat.
Several birds had made nests within the filming studio, and several scenes had to be filmed twice due to the noise these birds were making. A green screen was used to film one of these birds who leads the children from Tumnus`s house to the Beavers.
The wolves that destroyed the Beavers` home were mostly real animals with one or two CGI ones added in, although their tails had to be digitally removed and re-added. Their tails kept wagging while filming the scene, making them seem less vicious.
#
# The CGI on Mr. Tumnus was from his waist down - his goat legs and hooves. His ears were controlled by remote control and a fake nose along with a lot of hair was attached.
When Lucy meets Mr. Tumnus the faun, he plays music for her on a funny-looking Narnian instrument. The actual sound heard is produced by the duduk (doudouk, düdük), an ancient wind instrument, famously featured in Sergei Parajanov`s Sayat Nova (1968) as well as Parajanov: The Last Spring (1992); the use of the duduk has become almost a tradition in Hollywood blockbusters. The instrument that Mr. Tumnus uses on set is actually a figment of the prop department`s imagination. In the book Tumnus plays, as a faun, a Pan`s flute. It`s an instrument which is very difficult to play or even to mime playing.
#
# Each design carved into the wardrobe signifies an important event that occurred in the book "The Magician`s Nephew," the Narnia book that takes place chronologically before the events in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
Anna Popplewell is afraid of mice, so her scenes involving mice had to be shot with her double.
#
# When Mr. Tumnus refers to Lucy as a "Daughter of Eve", a confused Lucy responds by telling him that her mother`s name is Helen. The mother of Georgie Henley, who plays Lucy, is actually named Helen.
The German planes seen at the beginning of the film were HE-111 Bombers.
Because of how much Skandar`s voice changed during filming, some of his voice track had to be re-looped by his sister.
The role of Edmund was cast last of the four children. That helped making his character a bit detached to his siblings, since the other three actors had been together in a workshop for almost a month by the time Skandar got the part.
The witch`s two-sword fighting style is called Florentine.
In the Audio Commentary, Skandar Keynes comments that William Moseley coerced him into eating some of the sugar glass from the broken picture of their father in the beginning of the movie. Only after trying did Skander realize the fake glass was made of silicon.
The stone lion that Edmund draws a mustache and glasses on when he is entering the witch`s castle appears at the end after all the crowns are given, standing next to the fox.
Professor Kirke presents three choices to the other Pevensie children of what to think about Lucy`s claim about Narnia: that she is lying, that she is mad, or that she is telling the truth. C.S. Lewis was a vocal advocate of Christianity, and in his book "Mere Christianity" presented three similar choices about Jesus` claim to be the Son of God: Liar, Lunatic, or Lord. This is known as his "Trilemma" argument, and is still often used by Christians today.
#
# The fur around the White Witch`s neck during the final battle scene is Aslan`s mane that was cut off the night before.
Before his death, C.S. Lewis sold the adaptation rights to the entire "Narnia" series. At that time, he absolutely despised television adaptations of his books, believing they were non-realistic, since actors had to wear suits to play non-human characters. It was only after seeing a demo reel of creatures created with computer graphics and the advancement of that technology that Lewis`s stepson/co-producer Douglas Gresham gave the approval for a film adaptation.
No real lions were used for the film, simply because Andrew Adamson wanted a moment where Georgie Henley could reach out and touch Aslan.
#
# Rachael Henley, who plays the grown-up Lucy in the hunting scene near the end of the film, is actually the older sister of Georgie Henley, who plays the young Lucy throughout the rest of the movie.
#
# During filming, William Moseley (Peter) kept accidentally hitting Georgie Henley (Lucy) with his sword handle and making her trip when he ran too quickly.
In scenes where the children had to react or talk to CG characters, Andrew Adamson, the director, and Alina Phelan, his assistant, would provide the voices for those non-existing characters, to make it easier for the kids to respond to someone who really isn`t there.
There are three versions of Peter`s sword: steel, aluminum, and rubber. William Moseley preferred working with the aluminum swords for the fighting scenes because they were a lot lighter and "they didn`t bounce like the rubber swords."
Aslan is a Turkish word meaning Lion. Lewis came up with the name during a trip to the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey), where he was impressed with the Sultan`s elite guards also called Aslan because of their bravery and loyalty.
The inscription on the blade of Peter`s sword reads, "When Aslan shakes his mane, Narnia shall know spring again."
Skandar Keynes absolutely hated being hugged by the other kids, so naturally the director used every opportunity to have them do just that - even if the scene was finished! (Source: DVD commentaries and outtakes).
When Peter is talking to Aslan, Aslan says "Beaver also mentioned something about you turning him into a hat". That line was not originally in the movie. The smile you see is William smiling because a fly was buzzing around his head, which rendered the shot useless.
John August was originally asked to do the screenplay, but had to decline due other projects.
#
# The black dwarf who is the witch`s right-hand man is not named in the book. The producers of the film gave him the name Ginaarbrik, which is intended to be imply that he is a relative of Nikabrik from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008). Nikabrik wears a ring that was worn by Ginaarbrik in this film.
The four kids made up a dance which they sang to whenever Andrew Adamson said "check the gate" after each take. "Check the gate" means check that there are no hairs or other foreign bodies between the film and the gate which holds the film in a flat plane within the camera; such hairs would show up on the film and make the shot useless.
While filming the snowball fight scene, the four kids had a snowball fight with director Andrew Adamson between takes.
Tilda Swinton was the first choice to play Jadis the White Witch.
Tilda Swinton wore platform shoes under her long and bulky dresses to make her seem even taller than she already is.
In between takes Tilda Swinton had to use a brace on her shoulders in order to give her a break from the weight that the combination of her wig and crown gave her.
