The Chronicles of Narnia film series adapts the plot of the books by C. S. Lewis into theatrical films. Three of them have been released: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005) Prince Caspian (2008) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)Its central cast includes William Moseley as Peter Pevensie, Anna Popplewell as Susan, Skandar Keynes as Edmund, Georgie Henley as Lucy, and Liam Neeson as Aslan.Production was handled by Walden Media. Financing and distribution for the films were originally done by Disney, but after the second film the rights were given to 20th Century Fox, which was expected to produce the remaining films, which didn't go further than a third due to Walden Media's contract with the C. S. Lewis estate expiring.In 2018, it was announced that Netflix had been signed to develop series and films based on the franchise. | |

Age Lift | |
| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: Applied to the Pevensies, Caspian and Eustace. In Lewis' manuscript notes he approximates the children's ages at 13 for Peter, 12 for Susan, 10 for Edmund, and 8 for Lucy. In the movies they're implied to be about two years to three years older due to the ages of their actors. Caspian is indicated to be around thirteen in his first appearance, while the movie has him at sixteen or seventeen. Eustace is apparently nine in VODT, but is at least fourteen or fifteen in the film adaptation. | |

Badass Adorable: Lucy. The entire fleeing Telmarine army stops dead in their tracks when they see a tiny girl, standing alone on their only escape route across the bridge, smiling sweetly at them. And this is before Aslan joins her. Reepicheep. Only Lucy is actually allowed to hug him if she asks really nicely. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Many scenes that take only a paragraph or two in the books are greatly elaborated, especially the battle sequences, which naturally lend themselves better to depiction onscreen. The Blitz is shown, as is the Pevensies' train journey to the countryside. In the book this is just a plot device and is skimmed over. The film version pointedly evokes the sense of escaping one conflict only to be unexpectedly thrown into another (with Susan saying "Mum sent us away so we wouldn't get caught up in a war"). In the second one, there's Susan's inability to let go of Narnia, Peter's problems with becoming a kid again, Edmund's quiet strength and heroism and Caspian's self-doubt. Also, they showed how the Pevensies were not normal children, but rather people with an adult's experience and wisdom. The character development from the first movie is especially shown with Susan and Edmund. The third one had little threads added showing Caspian and Edmund's brotherly friendship, Eustace and Reepicheep's bond, the inner struggles that Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy were all going through and a tiny, humorous one of Edmund being a bit of a thorn in Drinian's side. Also, seeing how Caspian was devastated to lose the Pevensies a second time as they had become family to him was a wonderful expansion from the book. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The ending of Prince Caspian. As well as the ending of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It's implied that Caspian was never really able to let go of the Pevensies. His cabin on the ship, as seen at the beginning, was basically a shrine to all of them. He had even saved Edmund's torch (flashlight for American readers). This fits in quite well with the books where Caspian is fascinated with the world the Pevensies come from and always had a secret desire to go there the same way they visit Narnia. There's also the Eustace factor. Yeah, he's learned to be a brave fighter, but he also has to say goodbye to Reepicheep, the one who taught him to overcome his fears and who was kind to him when he was a dragon. | |

Always Chaotic Evil: Subverted twice. In the first film, the fox is initially a shady character and the protagonists don't know if they can trust him, but he ultimately turns out to be good in the end. Likewise, minotaurs in the first film are all allied with the White Witch, but in the second film have joined the Narnians, one even performing a Heroic Sacrifice so his companions can escape. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Particularly Dawn Treader, which takes an almost completely episodic story and gives it a strong ongoing plot thread in the green mist that has to be stopped. And it even becomes somewhat of a Sequel Hook since Word of God says the green mist was created by the Lady of the Green Kirtle as her first attempt on the Caspian family.invoked | |

And even the book's religious subtext organizes them as this, since Peter and Lucy are meant to represent the better Apostles, Peter being named High King, representing the Apostle Peter, who in reality is the first Leader of the Christian church after Christ ascended, and Lucy, who represents Saint John, who had the most faith in Jesus, just like Lucy has in Aslan. On the other side, Edmund represents Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus for silver, just like Edmund betrays Aslan for Turkish Delight, and Susan, who represents "Doubting Thomas", because she loses her faith completely in Aslan and Narnia, never reaching Aslan's Country (Heaven). | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Pevensie siblings can be differenced by this, with Peter and Lucy represented by Red, due to the fact that they are more intuitive, vibrant, determined and, to an extent, more sensitive than Edmund and Susan, who are more logical, cold and down to earth, inclined towards the Blue part. Even their hair show it, due to the fact that Peter and Lucy have lighter hair, while Edmund and Susan are dark haired. And even the book's religious subtext organizes them as this, since Peter and Lucy are meant to represent the better Apostles, Peter being named High King, representing the Apostle Peter, who in reality is the first Leader of the Christian church after Christ ascended, and Lucy, who represents Saint John, who had the most faith in Jesus, just like Lucy has in Aslan.

Foreshadowing | |
| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: "May your wisdom grace us until the stars fall from the heavens." That's brilliant! Because Aslan said that to the four original Pevensies and then in Dawn Treader there is actually a star that comes down from the heavens (she goes back up again, but still) and that's the last time Edmund and Lucy come to Narnia. Alive, anyway. (An additional point of note is that in the books, all the stars do fall from the heavens in The Last Battle during the end of the world.) Another example from the first movie is the lamp-post having tree roots as its base. There is also the wardrobe, which features, among other things, a ruined city, a forest with many pools, and two women sitting on opposing sides of the wardrobe. Susan's slightly melancholy agreement in Prince Caspian that she's happy to be in Narnia "while it lasts" foreshadows her being told at the end of the film that she can't return. Arguably also her absence in The Last Battle. | |

Adaptation Dye-Job | |
| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: In the book, Peter has dark hair, while Edmund and Caspian are blondish; however, in the movie, the roles are reversed, Peter being fair-haired, while Edmund and Caspian have dark, almost black hair. Lucy is also stated several times to have blonde hair in the books; Georgie Henley has light brown, somewhat auburn hair. The only one who kept her original hair color is Susan. This change could be due to the characters arcs - Caspian and Edmund are both tempted by darkness and this have dark brown, almost black hair, but avoid complete darkness at the last minute; Lucy, who briefly doubts herself over her looks, has somewhat auburn hair, meaning she's not entirely dark but not entirely good. Susan, who's hair is pure-black, is the only one to ultimately forget Narnia in the end, becoming "dark" in thoughts of adulthood. | |

Hollywood Tactics | |
| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_a6b14ee1 | comment |
Hollywood Tactics: Your army is outnumbered and less well-armed than the approaching enemy. Why not place them in open ground at the bottom of a set of really steep hills with broken ground approaches, that would provide a really good defensive position? And when the enemy army appears, why not charge them head-on with a loose formation of mixed cavalry, and then hold position in the middle of an open plain? Instead of maybe having the charge rake across the front of the enemy advance before withdrawing to the base of the hills to prepare for another charge? And why not post all the archers at the top of the hill so that they can not bother to provide a withering fire against the enemy before they come into contact with your own troops? | |

| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_ae3d6438 | comment |
Deadpan Snarker: Susan gets a couple in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Edmund and Eustace are both this in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. And Reepicheep. Again: Trumpkin too, by way of being the Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Heck, even Miraz gets in on this: In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Eustace gets his turn. Edmund is actually defined by his snarkiness, which is why he is still considered somewhat of an Anti-Hero, even after his Heel–Face Turn. Some of his quotes have practically become famous on the internet, particularly this one, which most people on various sites praised it: | |

Fridge Brilliance | |

That's brilliant! Because Aslan said that to the four original Pevensies and then in Dawn Treader there is actually a star that comes down from the heavens (she goes back up again, but still) and that's the last time Edmund and Lucy come to Narnia. Alive, anyway. (An additional point of note is that in the books, all the stars do fall from the heavens in The Last Battle during the end of the world.) | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In Prince Caspian, Susan fights by both shooting enemies and also slashing at them with her arrows, which brings to mind a certain Elvish prince from a certain murky forest... Which in itself is quite a nice thing, since Tolkien and Lewis were good friends in real life, and it was in fact the former that helped convert the latter back to Christianity. Sort of. While Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic, Lewis (re)converted to Anglicanism. Tolkien was reportedly disappointed. The Witch's army in the first film looks like it's composed of the Hordes of Chaos (and Orcs) of Warhammer fame. Right up to the icons on their banners. | |

Dream Within a Dream | |
| The Chronicles of Narnia / int_d54f84cb | comment |
Dream Within a Dream: Subverted in the first movie- the characters think their memory of a familiar place is from a dream within a dream, but it turns out to be from where they originally came from in the real world. Played straight in the third movie, where Lucy is having a dream, wakes up from it to have Aslan talk to her, then wakes up from this one again into the real world. | |

Foe-Tossing Charge: When Oreius goes after the White Witch in the big battle scene, he has a rhino come and run interference for him, which let's face it is hard to improve on if you're only allowed one ally. | |

Our Gryphons Are Different: The movies have classical griffins as part of Aslan's army — which for some reason have beards on their lower jaws and feathers at the end of their lions' tails. | |

Onrushing Army: This is apparently how military advances are done in Narnia. Except in Prince Caspian the titular prince and the Pevensies use stealth and surprise to try and defeat Miraz with the Raid on the Castle. | |
