When Peter, Susan, Lucy and the Beavers arrive to Aslan's camp and see Oreius, his body is all black. In the battle you can see that Oreius has black legs up to his knees, but then his body is brown. It's easy to see just when the Minotaur drops from Oreius's back: the stomach is brown. See more...
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) - 14 trivia entries
Directed by Andrew Adamson, starring James McAvoy, Tilda Swinton (add more)
After the initial credits begin (since many people leave the theatre as soon as the credits appear, they miss this), there is an additional short scene between Professor Kirke and Lucy, that takes place near the wardrobe.
When the children listen to a news report on the radio, in Professor Kirke's house, the voice belongs to Douglas Gresham, who is C.S. Lewis's stepson, and co-producer of the film. C.S. Lewis, author of the original novel, delivered radio addresses over the BBC during World War II.
Before filming the Narnia scenes, Georgie Henley was never shown the set. To get a genuine reaction of surprise, director Andrew Adamson had Henley brought onto the Narnia set blindfolded. Her reactions to Mr. Tumnus are real, too. Before filming their scenes together, she had never seen James McAvoy in costume.
"Aslan" means "lion" in Turkish.
Georgie Henley's older sister, Rachael, plays Lucy as a young woman.
Since Skandar Keynes's voice broke during the filming, his sister had to voice some of his lines for him.
In the scene where Edmund and Lucy go through the wardrobe, they needed a shot of Edmund's feet walking through the wardrobe. Since Skandar Keynes (Edmund) was gone for the day, Anna Popplewell (Susan) put on Edmund's clothes from the waist down and portrayed his feet for this one shot.
When Lucy finds Narnia the second time, the "wind" that blows out her candle is a crew member inside the wardrobe trying to blow the flame out.
The wardrobe that C.S. Lewis based the story on can be seen at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois.
Georgie Henley (Lucy) created a bucket on set called "The Potty Mouth Bucket," and anyone who swore would have to pay a certain amount to the bucket.
The magical wardrobe has carvings that tell the story of "The Magician's Nephew" (Chronologically, the first book in the series).
The famous lamppost has roots on the bottom. They did this because in the first book (The Magician's Nephew) it is explained that the lamppost grew out of the ground.
At the train station, Peter glances at a certain soldier. The person portraying the soldier is Jaxin Hall, the actor who lost the role of Peter when they cast William Mosley as the eldest.
In the scene where Susan runs in with Aslan and the rest of the army she pulls her bow back and the shot ends. When they were filming she was so "in the moment" that she let the arrow fly. By the end of production the crew still hadn't found it. Apparently it is still there waiting for some very adventurous fan to climb up and find it.
