[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] I don't remember if Philip the horse was an addition or not... I certainly don't remember Peter riding a unicorn, either - though you cuold pretty easily tell which shots had the actor sitting astride fake white horse. :p Awesome movie. Oddly though, I found myself comparing it more to the previous animated and live action versions, than to anything LOTR - choices regarding what was left out (Edmund pulling the sled, no one mentioning Santa Claus / Father Christmas by name) and what was added in (Philip and the unicorn, a lot of the battle's embelishments, etc.). Still, while the pacing was a littl eoff, I certainly didn't find myself looking at my watch as I did during LOTR. Also: -The battle blurring was a dramatic choice, I'd say. When Aslan killed the Queen (in the book, I believe he simply trampled her and she vanished; here, Aslan quite clearly mauled her), the battle ended soon therafter. I think they blurred everything to speed up the passage of time and get everyone united and on the saving of Edmund. -I'm willing that more than a little of the real-world sequences were cut out, including all the Professor's backstory - almost odd to get Jim Broadbent to do two very short scenes. -Aslan aside, all the other animals were very well done IMO, especially the beavers. I think this is the first time talking animals have been done so dramatically. -I don't remember the books establishing tha the Pevensies' dad was off fighting in the war - only that they had been sent away. I suppose it would make sense, though. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
