>>This appears to be CS Lewis's view, too. In the battle at the end of the film, visually a great epic treat, the child crusaders are crowned kings and queens for no particular reason.<<

Hey, try this on for size...in a world populated by animals, the kids were the ones with the opposable thumbs. That right there might be enough to make them kings and queens. IT'S A STORY. What fantasy movie or story of any kind gets by without SOME suspension of belief??


This kind of crap is what gives atheists a bad name. Why would anyone act so shocked and offended by the fact that there are religious overtones in a movie based on a set of books that are unashamed religious propaganda? That would be like being shocked that movies based on the Left Behind series have a religious agenda. Hello??

But like the Bible, if you are not inclined that way, it is just an interesting story. No harm, no foul.
