With the exception of Tilda Swinton, who was the first choice to play Jadis, the White Witch, [6] casting was a long process. Beginning in 2002, [7] Adamson went through 2,500 audition tapes, met 1,800 children and workshopped 400 before coming down to the final four actors for the Pevensies. Moseley and Popplewell came from the very start of casting, whilst Henley and Keynes were cast relatively late. [8] Moseley was cast because casting director Pippa Hall remembered she cast him as an extra in Cider with Rosie (1998). He beat 3,000 boys to the role of Peter and quit school to learn all his lines. [9] James E. Higgins. "A Letter from C. S. Lewis". The Horn Book Magazine. October 1966. Archived 2012-05-24.

Aslan's voice was a contention point. Brian Cox was originally cast in the role on 9 December 2004, [10] but Adamson changed his mind. [11] Liam Neeson sought out the role, [7] and was announced as the voice on 17 July 2005. [12] Production [ edit ] Pre-production [ edit ] Lindskoog, Kathryn. Journey into Narnia.

The Chronicles of Narnia:The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Cast Commentary (DVD). One of the most significant themes seen in C. S. Lewis's The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is the theme of Christianity. [50] Various aspects of characters and events in the novel reflect biblical ideas from Christianity. The lion Aslan is one of the clearest examples, as his death is very similar to that of Jesus Christ. While many readers made this connection, Lewis denied that the themes of Christianity were intentional, saying that his writing began by picturing images of characters, and the rest just came about through the writing process. [51] While Lewis denied intentionally making the story a strictly Christian theological novel, he did admit that it could help young children accept Christianity into their lives when they were older.
