I saw the movie a few weeks ago, and I was pleased at how much of the original book was kept in.....hardly any scenes were actually cut out, although it was never explained exactly why the grown up Pevensies were riding through the forest at the end of the movie (they were hunting a white stag).
However, I didn't like the actress playing the White Witch, and I kind of preferred the BBC production from years ago.
I loved the books when I was a kid...I think I read them when after my teacher read Voyage Of The Dawn Treader to us when I was 8....my favourite has to be books 4 (Prince Caspian) and 5 (Voyage Of The Dawn Treader) just because of Caspian and (in book 5) Eustace.
But I didn't really like Book 3 (The Horse And His Boy) and 7 (The Last Battle).
