Efraim's Notes

• This version of The Chronicles of Narnia is the first-ever big-screen adaptation of the powerful classic that has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide.
• In 1950, the scholar, critic and writer C.S. Lewis published The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, the first of his seven-volume series, The Chronicles of Narnia.
• Narnia is New Zealand director Andrew Adamson’s live-action directorial debut, but he is previously known for Oscar®-winning Shrek and Shrek 2.
• The entire Chronicles of Narnia series also includes Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician’s Nephew and The Last Battle The Chronicles of Narnia novel series eventually has sold over 85,000,000 books in 29 different languages, making it second only to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter tomes as the most popular book series ever. Indeed, Rowling has cited C.S. Lewis’ Narnia as one of the inspirations to her own contemporary stories of magic and adventure.
•  I found Narnia facts in my (don't laugh!) Disney Adventures!!The word "Aslan" means "lion" in Turkish
• Will feels selfconsicious smiling in front of a camara
• Skander had to eat 19 pieces of turkish delight
• Skander dose not like to be huged, so will, susan, and georgie would always hug him  
• When filming the part where lucy finds Narnia it is really the frist time seeing Narnia
• Anna is afraid of mice
• Georgie's sister played older Lucy in the flim
• it was summer when filming the movie but on the last day it snowed more later!!
• C.S. Lewis was one of the most influential Christian writers of his time -- before writing the Narnia Chronicles, he had written many books for adults on religion.
• J.R.R. Tolkein, author of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and C. S. Lewis were good friends. In fact, Pauline Baynes was a young illustrator then in her mid-twenties who had recently illustrated J.R.R. Tolkien's latest book, FARMER GILES OF HAM, when Lewis asked her to illustrate THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. (FYI: In 1998, she added color to all her drawings in all seven books)
• When Lewis was 16, the image of a faun carrying parcels and an umbrella in a snowy wood came to him. Many years later, the faun was joined by an evil witch and a magnificent lion --- this image and the three character's stories became THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE.
• All throughout elementary and high school, C.S. Lewis was a really bad mathematics student!! He favored subjects like classical music and mythology.
• The character of Aslan, the Great Lion, originally came the book TALES FROM THE ARABIAN NIGHTS which C.S. Lewis used to read as a child.
