Did the movie go with the book of The Chronices Of NarniaThe Lione,The Whitch and The Wardrope? Just saw it it kind of went with the book,but it's been ages scince I read it,like proably in the 4th grade.

i think there were only a few changes from what i've read.

it was a good movie though.

Movie versions of books never really faithfully follow the book, because a movie has to follow a certain pattern of events where a book does not, necessarily. It's in order to make it clear to the viewer, or at least to condense certain events down to 120 minutes of viewing time to contain the gist of the story.

I am such a purist when it comes to adapting my children's books - and I really liked the adaptation. They did some things I wouldn't have done (did we really need to see that much of the battle?) but overall I'm very happy with how they're handling it.

And extra kudos to them for making the movies in the RIGHT order!
