It's a good one: visually gorgeous, nicely written, well-acted (Jim's at his nuttiest, and still pulls off his role as the villain rather elegantly, I thought). I have only read the first book, so far. In spite of the differences, I enjoyed the movie very much.

Funny you should mention Narnia... They're having another go at The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It's due out next winter. I'm looking forward to it, if only with curiosity.

You know, I was glad Lily didn't kill the unicorn (had a fascination with them, when I was younger), but... My first thought upon her not choosing Lord Darkness was "/Is she crazy???/"
Honestly, I think that movie, her in that dress, was what made me fall in love with Goth in the first place. Mind, I didn't hear my first Bauhaus song until years later, but that movie was the start.
