That's not what he said in the book. He basically egged the White Witch on, basically saying, all right, if you're so smart to remind me of the Deep Magic, go ahead and flaunt your knowledge.
"It means that though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." ―Aslan describing the Deeper Magic (Chapter 15) Can't keep a good man... I mean, Lion... down!
That’s because Jadis only arrived when Narnia was formed. She’s not from the world that Narnia is part of, she came from the realm of Charn. She wasn’t there for the writing of the deep laws, only those rules as they pertain to Narnia.
Absolutely true. This is also the franchise Disney stupidity released a sequel during summertime for an obvious winter release and then got rid of the film rights to fox (who handled the third one, and then the other parties involved fought about it for no reason whatsoever. They don't have them back I don't think at least, but the whole mess ruined chances of Liam Nesson and Tilda Swinton (and Will Poulter) to appear in "The Silver Chair" and "The Magician's Nephew" and I'd like to see how anyone is going to live up to their preformances.
Love how Aslan is anthropomorphic but still walks and acts like the big jungle cat his character is. Like in the first frame, his tail is whipping back and forth like my cat does when she's super annoyed but is holding her temper in check. Such amazing CGI.

In John chapter 1 it says: in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were *made by him* and without him was nothing made that is made... And *the word* was made flesh and dwelt among us... So Jesus, being the Word of God, did have a major role in creation. Then in Collosians 1:16 it says, For by him (the son, Jesus) were all things that are in heaven, and that are in the earth... all things were created by him and for him."

@@Historyandlegends789 yeah aside from the useless love interest plot, the castle invasion effort alone made it like 100x better than the book.

@@Historyandlegends789 - I especially loved how they actually went through with calling up the Witch in the movie. Five minutes in the presence of Jadis is infinitely more terrifying than an entire duel with Miraz. This isn't a criticism of Miraz, it's merely a credit to the White Witch and Tilda Swinton's portrayal.
"that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie"...he made a promise, he would be unable to break it. Thus, her question about keeping his promise was an insult to his very nature.
@@justchilling704 It takes a lot of gullibility to believe that. Some people have enough moral fiber not to bow to evil claiming to be good....no matter how much they are threatened.
TheHigherVoltage What are you getting at? I could say it takes a lot of gullibility to believe that the universe came into existence from & out of nothing, and that we are evolved fish. Why not give arguments instead of passive aggressive insults.
Tilda Swinton made a pretty good Jadis, but there's one aspect of the character that has never been properly portrayed in the live adaptations. Jadis is part giant. She is described as being really tall, supposedly at least 7 feet (2.13m). If John Rhys Davies (6'1") can be made to look like a 4' dwarf, then you'd think they could do a few tricks to make an actress look taller.
They did use a couple tricks, like aligning her back along a board so her posture was perfectly straight, and she is pretty tall, although I get what you're saying. Also to be fair, she is surrounded by big cg cyclopes and minotaurs, so she seems shorter.
_"Tell you?" said the Witch, her voice growing suddenly shriller. "Tell you what is written on that very _*_Table of Stone_*_ which stands beside us? Tell you what is written in letters deep as a spear is long on the trunk of the World Ash Tree? Tell you what is engraved on the sceptre of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea? You at least know the magic which the Emperor put into Narnia at the very beginning. You know that every traitor belongs to me as my lawful prey and that for every treachery I have a right to a kill._ -The Witch's rant to Aslan who feigned ignorance about the Deep Magic.

@@ladvargleinad7566 Interesting... I think some earlier American editions have the "world ash tree" imagery. Just like some editions differ on the Captain of the Queen's Guards' name being either Fenris or Maugrim. The "fire-stones on the secret hill" makes me think of a Druidic stone circle like Stonehenge.
We were watching this movie in class when i was in the 4th grade. When the scene at 2:00 approached i whispered into my friends ear "theyre gonna have sex in the tent. Hahaha sigh i miss being a kid.
I was never a fan of the the books or film franchise itself, but I enjoyed this movie. The world is really weel done, and Aslon aged much better than I would would have guessed.
I haven’t seen this movie since I was a kid, so I expected it to age poorly. The 4 leads are ok, not too bad but not great, but really just about everything else works. The score, the mix of good cgi and good practical effects, the art design, the voice acting (Liam Neeson in particular), and Tilda Swinton giving a really great performance as the White Witch. All the adult actors do a great job from James McAvoy to Jim Broadbent to James Cosmo as Father Christmas. It’s really refreshing to watch a Disney movie where there are stakes, themes, a decent moral message, a serious tone with the right amount of fun, and (most importantly) treating the source material with the respect it deserves. I’m legitimately proud of this movie, it’s not perfect but it means a lot to me and hopefully a few others.
For some reason I read the title to be "The white witch bows before Asian" Also its crazy to go back and see major marvel characters in older movies. It never dawned on me that the Ancient one spent time in Narnia learning dark magic. No wonder she was able to live so long.
I really like the Christian symbolism here: by giving up his life for Edmund, Aslan clearly represents Jesus, who died to save us from sin; and Jadis clearly represents the Devil, who is also the Accuser of mankind, and tries to get us condemned to death.
+Nahala Wing (ZombieHunter) if you dont like the story of Jesus then you should hate Narnia because the whole thing is the story of Jesus in animal form.
Aslan's behavior and this incident is so much like Dumbledore. When Snape mentions a bunch of rules broken when Harry and Ron drive a flying car, Dumbledore says kind of in the same way "I know Snape, having written some of them myself"..
No surprise as C. S. Lewis took a lot of inspiration from the bible. So did his buddy J. R. R. Tolkien if you look closely at some moments in Lord of the Rings and other books involving Middle Earth.
Just thought of this while reading your comments....Aslan said he goes by many names and it is interpreted he is reborn again and again...sooo what if Aslan IS Mufasa?? 🤔
you know, Aslan himself can handle shit. peeler should have not stepped up. he should've just let aslan do the talking. Aslan is the shit. I love that roar when the witch piped up about the deal.
@Morgan Freeman Well, my religion isn't Christianity but we believe in Jesus as a Prophet. Also my religion has a lot of proof in it that makes me absolutely certain it's the correct one. ^^ In the holy Book many things are mentioned that couldn't have bee known then, the big bang being the most extraordinary and undisputable.
When I red the book I loved Aslan, all my life I've been feeling like a lion because of him. When I saw the movie (at the age of 9, while I red the book at 7), I used to call her "White Bitch", she was so hateable, and Aslan is magnific in the books and movies. Definetly one of my favourite book characters. LONG LIVE ASLAN!!!!
@@QilinRider21 That's a reason of why the movie was really funny for me. But I don't speak english as my mother lenguage, I'm argentinian, I speak spanish as my mother lenguage and english as other lenguage... Originally it was "Puta Blanca" in spanish.
Aslan has a degree in Deep Magic Law. If you need Deep Magic Representation or were injured in a Narnia Related Incident please Contact the Law Offices of Lion and Lion.
This for sure represents the devil and Jesus, how the demons bow before God and recognize Him as the LORD. The Devil being the Witch and Aslan representing God
Merely Correct The witch represents Satan/the Antichrist in one person, depicting the "angel of light" form of Satan. However, Tash (the evil deity of the Calormene Empire) is symbolically Satan as he truly is: an evil, ugly false deity filled with pride. Aslan is the form that Jesus Christ takes in the World of Narnia; He takes upon the visage of a lion, resembling the Bible's description of Christ as being the Lion of Judah. His Father (God the Father), in the Narnian faith, is the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea, just as the Ten Commandments are depicted as the Deep Magic, and then the salvation via redemption through Christ's sacrifice is depicted as the Deeper Magic from before the dawn of time. I know my basics of Narnian lore, but I might be wrong. I find it somewhat interesting that God the Father (the Emperor) and God the Son (Aslan, the Guardian King) appear in Narnian lore, but God the Holy Spirit does not (at least from what I know). I mean, Aslan crowned Frank I and Helen as the first King and Queen of Narnia, and he crowned the Pevensie children as High King, High Queen, King, and Queen, which resembles how the Christians will reign with Jesus over the universe for eternity, but yet there's really no depiction of the Holy Spirit in the Narnian lore.
Oh, okay, I see what you're saying. I really didn't know He was represented in there. I mean, I knew the Father and Son are represented, but never knew the Holy Spirit was too. Thanks :)
I remember when this came out to theaters so very long ago. I was so against it because I loved the books more than what a movie could provide. It was several years after it was released to dvd that I finally watched it at my aunt's house and thoroughly enjoyed watching. I was amazed at the details and visuals. The ability to see what Narnia could actually be like if it were a real place. Still to this day I truly enjoy this movie.
He is real and He isn't any president. He is a king. THE King. Ruler of all creation, and one day He will stand upon the earth in victory. Of course, in our world, He doesn't take the form of a lion, though He is described as the Lion of Judah.
+Jacob in Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Aslan says: "In your world I have another name you must learn to know me by that name that is the very reason you were brought to Narnia to know me here for a little you will know me better there." I LOVE that the author put that in there! He is talking about Jesus!
The Craft Cabinet Lewis was one of the most brilliant authors in history, he was clever and also had a very strong grasp on Biblical concepts yet somehow he was able to simplify them enough so we can understand them without losing the meaning. His work is a huge inspiration to me as an author. :)
Absolutely. Going to be pretty hard to get someone as good as Tilda Swinton as well to play that role, she was a beyond perfect casting choice, even more so than Liam Nesson as Aslan. Really wish they would/would've made more films-they both would've came back for possibly both "The Silver Chair" and "Magician's Nephew" and with larger roles in one or both of them had that happened.

If jesus died for your sins why do people still sin?
This movie was the most accurate of the three by far.
The franchise was like first one was brilliant, then the second one good and then the third was okay...the bar was going down by each movie....
Second one was actually better than the book. Many scenes were added and were made much more interesting
@@Historyandlegends789 yeah aside from the useless love interest plot, the castle invasion effort alone made it like 100x better than the book. It was the worst in the series, written and rushed by pressure on C.W. Lewis, while he wanted to spend time mapping out plots for other stories, such as magician's nephew and the one that followed, voyage of the dawn threader.
@@oneandonlysound3453 Magician's nephew came out as the second to last book. Was he working on it while also writing The Horse and His Boy?
@@Historyandlegends789 - I especially loved how they actually went through with calling up the Witch in the movie. Five minutes in the presence of Jadis is infinitely more terrifying than an entire duel with Miraz.
This isn't a criticism of Miraz, it's merely a credit to the White Witch and Tilda Swinton's portrayal.
Roar Translation: "SIT YO FIVE DOLLAH ASS DOWN BEFORE I MAKE CHANGE!!!"
Awesome Inspector
😂😂😂 #dead
hahahahahahahahahahaha
Aslan appears in many forms, and speaks all dialects, so this is true AND the roar is true AND other ways of saying it are also true.
The way she shutters and sits - this is fabulous! Thank You, Jesus, for shutting the mouth of the witches. Amen!
Not this witch, dear. 😈
Amen
@@jadapinkett1656 should have start another burn again
Remember watching this in theatures when it first came out. Near-Christmas and still so beautiful after all these years!
this movie been around nearly 20 years!!! never gets old. the music is still a banger to day.
"that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie"...he made a promise, he would be unable to break it. Thus, her question about keeping his promise was an insult to his very nature.
She sat her ass down though 😂😂
anybody miss seeing this for the first time, in theaters? the costumes, the music, the wonderful CGI. they really nailed it, imo.
Every knee shall bow...
GoldenTide Willingly or not! Amen!
@@justchilling704 Regardless of how one "feels", every knee shall bow, regardless.
Even the demons
@@justchilling704 It takes a lot of gullibility to believe that. Some people have enough moral fiber not to bow to evil claiming to be good....no matter how much they are threatened.
TheHigherVoltage What are you getting at? I could say it takes a lot of gullibility to believe that the universe came into existence from & out of nothing, and that we are evolved fish.
Why not give arguments instead of passive aggressive insults.
I even cheered at that roar
Jedi Master J lol my mom did too when watching the movie.
Same
Tilda Swinton made a pretty good Jadis, but there's one aspect of the character that has never been properly portrayed in the live adaptations. Jadis is part giant. She is described as being really tall, supposedly at least 7 feet (2.13m). If John Rhys Davies (6'1") can be made to look like a 4' dwarf, then you'd think they could do a few tricks to make an actress look taller.
They did use a couple tricks, like aligning her back along a board so her posture was perfectly straight, and she is pretty tall, although I get what you're saying. Also to be fair, she is surrounded by big cg cyclopes and minotaurs, so she seems shorter.
True, though she looks pretty massive at 2:36
The film has many angles to make her tall plus being with Edmund for many scenes helps but Swinton is pretty tall already.
Also, black hair and reindeer, not blonde and polar bears.
who loves aslan I do
i love aslan to
I have strong feelings for him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
yes i do also, he is jesus I think in what the writer has meant
;) love jesus :D
+Hailey E.M. Hamato ヘイリ I think you are in love with Aslan.
Aslan, representing Jesus, the Lion of Judah!
that what the writer meant
You look like djordjano sweetieh
incredible isn't it
"I was there when it was written."
+Taylor Horton wtf, what do you mean?
_"Tell you?" said the Witch, her voice growing suddenly shriller. "Tell you what is written on that very _*_Table of Stone_*_ which stands beside us? Tell you what is written in letters deep as a spear is long on the trunk of the World Ash Tree? Tell you what is engraved on the sceptre of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea? You at least know the magic which the Emperor put into Narnia at the very beginning. You know that every traitor belongs to me as my lawful prey and that for every treachery I have a right to a kill._
-The Witch's rant to Aslan who feigned ignorance about
the Deep Magic. (Taken from the book _The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe_
by C.S. Lewis 1950)
*Thanks for posting!* 🦁
In my translation, it says (translated back to English) the fire stones at the secret hill, and not the trunk of the World Ash Tree.
@@ladvargleinad7566 Interesting... I think some earlier
American editions have the "world ash tree" imagery. Just like some editions differ on the Captain of the Queen's Guards' name being either Fenris or Maugrim. The "fire-stones on the secret hill" makes me think of a Druidic stone circle like Stonehenge.
We were watching this movie in class when i was in the 4th grade. When the scene at 2:00 approached i whispered into my friends ear "theyre gonna have sex in the tent. Hahaha sigh i miss being a kid.
Great scene! Even though she doesn't bow, her weakness compared with Aslan comes through clearly.
Wow, that roar really shut her up like nobody's business.
Aslan:
“Do NOT cite the deep magic to me, bitch! I was there when it was written!”
White Witch:
“Then you’ll remember well that..... wait.... what?”
I was never a fan of the the books or film franchise itself, but I enjoyed this movie. The world is really weel done, and Aslon aged much better than I would would have guessed.
My right ear really enjoyed the White Witch's dialogue.
The white witch gets owned.
ItalianMikey89 hed wreck you hard
I haven’t seen this movie since I was a kid, so I expected it to age poorly. The 4 leads are ok, not too bad but not great, but really just about everything else works. The score, the mix of good cgi and good practical effects, the art design, the voice acting (Liam Neeson in particular), and Tilda Swinton giving a really great performance as the White Witch. All the adult actors do a great job from James McAvoy to Jim Broadbent to James Cosmo as Father Christmas.
It’s really refreshing to watch a Disney movie where there are stakes, themes, a decent moral message, a serious tone with the right amount of fun, and (most importantly) treating the source material with the respect it deserves. I’m legitimately proud of this movie, it’s not perfect but it means a lot to me and hopefully a few others.
Who else died of laughter at 0:05 when he said heee queen of NANNNYAA
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂yes
No one
The Ancient One bows to Qui-Gon Jinn, colorized
That rings the bell, but I don't know which one
For some reason I read the title to be "The white witch bows before Asian"
Also its crazy to go back and see major marvel characters in older movies. It never dawned on me that the Ancient one spent time in Narnia learning dark magic. No wonder she was able to live so long.
I just realised that. That's cool to see
"Try and take him, then." Peter being a very good big brother.
"How do I know your promise will be kept"?
Roar Translation = "Bitch cuz I said so!"
I really like the Christian symbolism here: by giving up his life for Edmund, Aslan clearly represents Jesus, who died to save us from sin; and Jadis clearly represents the Devil, who is also the Accuser of mankind, and tries to get us condemned to death.
Jadis and Aslan being two badass in this scene. I love it.
I hope most of you know Narnia is based on the Bible, the story of Jesus, CS Lewis depicted the Jesus so well
It's just a movie stop bringing religion on everything
+luis hernan i know but it really doesn't matter
Eda aDıYaMaN Aslan's scenes are far more powerful when you see the parallel with Jesus
+Eda aDıYaMaN without Jesus this movie would never have been made. C.S lewis did this to spread the gospel.
+Nahala Wing (ZombieHunter) if you dont like the story of Jesus then you should hate Narnia because the whole thing is the story of Jesus in animal form.
"Do not cite the deep magic with me witch! I was there when it was written." You tell her Aslan!
Aslan was the first badass I came across in my childhood. He is still my favourite.
Aslan's behavior and this incident is so much like Dumbledore. When Snape mentions a bunch of rules broken when Harry and Ron drive a flying car, Dumbledore says kind of in the same way "I know Snape, having written some of them myself"..
This was such a great movie.
the ultimate sacrifice to free the son of adam from the hands of evil... if that is not a metaphor then I am an octopus.
TheTruBluRage true true true
Yup
No surprise as C. S. Lewis took a lot of inspiration from the bible. So did his buddy J. R. R. Tolkien if you look closely at some moments in Lord of the Rings and other books involving Middle Earth.
Yeah, I'd sit down too if aslan roared at me
In the book she ran away lol
I'd bounce. Like floating faster than a speed boat
"I was there when it was written" wow, powerful writing.
Damn it’s 15 years old. Still love it.
The voice of Aslan is incredible
Completely unrelated, but wouldn't it be cool, If Aslan met Mufasa? (:
Jason Chandler
Please! Even Mufasa would bow before the King of Narnia
It would be interesting.
No because mufasu would recognize aslan as he truly is and even he will bow
Just thought of this while reading your comments....Aslan said he goes by many names and it is interpreted he is reborn again and again...sooo what if Aslan IS Mufasa?? 🤔
@@aunjoliquewilliams9753 YOOOO!!!
you know, Aslan himself can handle shit. peeler should have not stepped up. he should've just let aslan do the talking. Aslan is the shit. I love that roar when the witch piped up about the deal.
This is a true story.
If you take acid
@@ceramikxxx5882 he's talking about the bible
@Morgan Freeman history is on my side but what ever helps you sleep good at night
Morgan Freeman Your reply is self defeating in so many levels.
@Morgan Freeman Well, my religion isn't Christianity but we believe in Jesus as a Prophet. Also my religion has a lot of proof in it that makes me absolutely certain it's the correct one. ^^ In the holy Book many things are mentioned that couldn't have bee known then, the big bang being the most extraordinary and undisputable.
Tilda is so fabulous, she has such grace and elegance 😍
0:47 I love that little roar he did and when he roared at her again to out put her in her place 2:38
When I red the book I loved Aslan, all my life I've been feeling like a lion because of him. When I saw the movie (at the age of 9, while I red the book at 7), I used to call her "White Bitch", she was so hateable, and Aslan is magnific in the books and movies. Definetly one of my favourite book characters. LONG LIVE ASLAN!!!!
Funny that's what she was called in the parody film Epic Movie.
@@QilinRider21 That's a reason of why the movie was really funny for me. But I don't speak english as my mother lenguage, I'm argentinian, I speak spanish as my mother lenguage and english as other lenguage... Originally it was "Puta Blanca" in spanish.
She kind of looks like Eminem lmao
I can't unsee it now
+Tegan Louise good
Oh god why...
I'm beginning to feel like a rap witch, rap witch....
Because it's the same actress.
"Do not cite the deep magic to me witch."
Witch: How do I know your promise will be kept?
*ROAAAAR*

Dude I just spilled my water over the entire table 😂😂😂
Aslan has a degree in Deep Magic Law. If you need Deep Magic Representation or were injured in a Narnia Related Incident please Contact the Law Offices of Lion and Lion.
The amount of biblical references in this is amazing
This for sure represents the devil and Jesus, how the demons bow before God and recognize Him as the LORD. The Devil being the Witch and Aslan representing God
But I thought the witch was a witch, and Aslan a lion?
Merely Correct The witch represents Satan/the Antichrist in one person, depicting the "angel of light" form of Satan. However, Tash (the evil deity of the Calormene Empire) is symbolically Satan as he truly is: an evil, ugly false deity filled with pride. Aslan is the form that Jesus Christ takes in the World of Narnia; He takes upon the visage of a lion, resembling the Bible's description of Christ as being the Lion of Judah. His Father (God the Father), in the Narnian faith, is the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea, just as the Ten Commandments are depicted as the Deep Magic, and then the salvation via redemption through Christ's sacrifice is depicted as the Deeper Magic from before the dawn of time.
I know my basics of Narnian lore, but I might be wrong. I find it somewhat interesting that God the Father (the Emperor) and God the Son (Aslan, the Guardian King) appear in Narnian lore, but God the Holy Spirit does not (at least from what I know). I mean, Aslan crowned Frank I and Helen as the first King and Queen of Narnia, and he crowned the Pevensie children as High King, High Queen, King, and Queen, which resembles how the Christians will reign with Jesus over the universe for eternity, but yet there's really no depiction of the Holy Spirit in the Narnian lore.
Oh, okay, I see what you're saying. I really didn't know He was represented in there. I mean, I knew the Father and Son are represented, but never knew the Holy Spirit was too. Thanks :)
Sinners all belong to Satan because they betrayed god through sin. Unless Jesus dies for them to repay the debt.
Jesus died for all sins of all mankind, but we have to make the choice to accept His death and resurrection as the payment for our sins.
They always use a tigers growl/raw for lions since it's more powerful
Aslan's roar be like: "sit your $5 ass down before I make change."
aslan's roar was awesome a true badass!!
This movie is an all time classic for me. Even the cgi aged well! That’s rare!
I remember when this came out to theaters so very long ago. I was so against it because I loved the books more than what a movie could provide.
It was several years after it was released to dvd that I finally watched it at my aunt's house and thoroughly enjoyed watching. I was amazed at the details and visuals. The ability to see what Narnia could actually be like if it were a real place. Still to this day I truly enjoy this movie.
"Every knee shall bow"
Sound familiar?
GoldenTide
The bible...
Dreamcatshiter Tris Correct.
Yeah, you said it three years before, twat.
i just got it! The illegitimate queen parading like she's justified! Just like the prince of the world thinks he deserves to be God (Isaiah 14:14)
Yup
The biblical references are brilliant
The Roar 😻
Aslan is bae for life. Tbh if he could ever become president I would vote for him tbh. If he was real and he could become president
He is real and He isn't any president. He is a king. THE King. Ruler of all creation, and one day He will stand upon the earth in victory. Of course, in our world, He doesn't take the form of a lion, though He is described as the Lion of Judah.
+Jacob in Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Aslan says: "In your world I have another name you must learn to know me by that name that is the very reason you were brought to Narnia to know me here for a little you will know me better there."
I LOVE that the author put that in there! He is talking about Jesus!
The Craft Cabinet Lewis was one of the most brilliant authors in history, he was clever and also had a very strong grasp on Biblical concepts yet somehow he was able to simplify them enough so we can understand them without losing the meaning. His work is a huge inspiration to me as an author. :)
I don’t think you realize he is real but you may.not want the real deal “Jesus” I’d highly recommend you accept nine the less.
I love how quickly her ass hits her throne when Aslan roars.
The actor who played Aslan was spot on!
Liam Neeson played Aslan
Liam and Tilda are titans.
i like how she just sits in half a second after he roars
oh man, reading this scene was a blast. wacthing later on was even better.
A lion more majestic than Mufasa
I love the White Witch, she's easily one of my favorite characters in fiction.
Same here lol all my friends who are Narnia-fans too want to kill me for that 😂
Absolutely. Going to be pretty hard to get someone as good as Tilda Swinton as well to play that role, she was a beyond perfect casting choice, even more so than Liam Nesson as Aslan. Really wish they would/would've made more films-they both would've came back for possibly both "The Silver Chair" and "Magician's Nephew" and with larger roles in one or both of them had that happened.
I love the chronicles of narnia
2:38 I love that part "Bitch! You think I'm a liar?!"
Never question God's integrity
Yup
So you say, but Jesus asked: "God, why have you abandoned me?" Matthew 27:46
@@rileymclaughlin4831He was referencing the original Psalm that said that. He was still teaching, even in the most agonizing position anyone could ever be in. He wanted people to know the prophecies were fulfilled.
little do they know that Aslan has handed himself over to her
Everytime I hear Aslan, I can't help but think of "I understand that tricks are exclusively for children."😂
This is the movie that made me keep looking in my wardrobe as a kid hoping I would find a portal to Narnia in there.
"She has renounced her claim on the son of Adam's blood."
