We finally saw The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe last night. What a great film! Not as good as the Lord of the Rings, but that was to be expected.

I fell in love with Lucy — she was perfect. And I liked that the film stayed very true to the book. My only complaint (and it’s not really a complaint) is that they didn’t include the line when Peter, Susan and Lucy were learning about Aslan from Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, and one of the children asked (concerning Aslan), “Is he safe?” And Mr. Beaver says, “Safe? Didn’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver said? Of course he’s not safe! But he’s good.”

But overall, I was very pleased with the film — it’s the best movie I’ve seen in quite some time. I look forward to owning it on DVD. I also look forward to the next installment in the series.
