*MY GIRLFRIEND CRIED* The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Reaction 

Watch our friends Chi & Hela react to Narnia HERE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SBgkegNbEyk.htmlsi=OGU1EerIdE8Fs5rJ

When Lucy entered Narnia for the first time, it was the actresses genuine reaction! She was blindfolded and carried to the set so she didn’t see it beforehand. Such magical films.

Tilda Swinton is on another level. The fact that she doesn't have a storage room full of Oscars is a crime

The casting of the kids was absolutely perfect in this movie.

Fun fact: the dog's tails are all CGI. Apparently they were so happy to be there, they wouldn’t stop wagging their tails.

The first book in the series is the Magician's Nephew. The Nephew visits Narnia when it is first created by Aslan. He also visits the world that Jadis is from and he's responsible for her getting to Narnia (via London). The Nephew takes an apple from Narnia to heal his mother but plants the seeds in his garden. The tree grows quickly but is later felled. The remains of the tree are made into the Wardrobe and, since the tree is Narnian, it is a gateway between the worlds. The Nephew grows up and becomes a professor with a house in the country.

The Turkish delight had a kind of spell that made Edmund want more and easy for him to give information away. C. S. Lewis was a good friend of J. R. R. Tolkien. In the book " The Magician's Nephew " , which is one of the books in " The Chronicles of Narnia ", the Professor is the Nephew and young. That's how he knew about the wardrobe and Narnia in this book/movie. St. Nick did give the beavers presents in the book.

Narnia is SO underrated! The casting and acting is outstanding. The visuals and the cinematography is phenomenal. The score is so good. Everything about it is just amazing. Fun facts: Georgie Henley's (Lucy) first reaction to Narnia is genuine. They didn't let her see the set until they filmed it. Her reaction to Mr. Tumnus is also genuine, for she had not seen James McAvoy in his costume before the scene was filmed. Georgie Henley's older sister, Rachael Henley, plays grown-up Lucy. The character of the White Witch was inspired by the Snow Queen from the story of Hans Christian Andersen (Elsa from Frozen is loosely based on her too since she was originally supposed to be the villain). Also, the Turkish Delight was addictive, making the one who ate it want more and more as well as being more susceptible to give out information. But Edmund's longing to be King definitely helped. C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were very close friends. Tolkien was even instrumental in Lewis' own conversion to Christianity. Aslan represents Jesus Christ who sacrificed himself and died for our sins (in this case Edmund) and rose back from the dead because he was an innocent. Although Lewis did not originally set out to incorporate Christian elements and themes into the books, it is something that occurred as he wrote them. J.K. Rowling has said she was influenced by Narnia and whether it was on purpose or not, each of the Pevensie children represent each of the houses in Hogwarts. Peter = Gryffindor: Brave, loyal, honourable, chivalrous, a natural fighter & leader and protects his family at all costs but is impulsive and proud. Edmund = Slytherin: Ambitious, intelligent, resourceful, falls into temptation to gain power & recognition. Susan = Ravenclaw: Logical, wise, intelligent, witty, caring and often the voice of reason. Lucy = Hufflepuff: Kind, helpful, selfless, forgives easily and treats everyone as equals. She also has a bit of Gryffindor in her: Brave and loyal. The third film is not as good as the other two but still entertaining (mainly because of the legend that is Eustace!). But it's unfortunate cuz they never finished the franchise. They were also competing with bigger franchises like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. They were gonna adapt The Magician's Nephew, the first book of the series, until Walden Media lost its rights to the franchise in 2011. The Mark Gordon Company retained the rights instead to adapt the next book in the franchise, The Silver Chair. But for some reason that never happened, and in 2018, Netflix acquired the rights to develop their own Narnia reboot. In 2023 it was announced that Greta Gerwig was set to direct at least two of the novels for Netflix (whether it's two of these remade or any of the other four I don't know).

This movie is so special to me. I love S.C Lewis and he was able to use fantasy to tell the most important biblical story. Your girlfriend is such a sweetheart! Thank you for reacting to this beautiful movie! 🤗💛🌻

Turkish delight WAS enchanted. It's not a theory, it was clear in the books, although his personality also was a part of his actions. But candies and drink indeed were enchanted to make you addicted and eat until you die.

Knocking on the wardrobe. “When you take your car to the mechanic.” I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard today. Thank you.

Difficult book passages to adapt: None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do; but the moment the Beaver had spoken these words everyone felt quite different. Perhaps it has sometimes happened to you in a dream that someone says something which you don't understand but in the dream it feels as if it had some enormous meaning--either a terrifying one which turns the whole dream into a nightmare or else a lovely meaning too lovely to put into words, which makes the dream so beautiful that you remember it all your life and are always wishing you could get into that dream again. It was like that now. At the name of Aslan each one of the children felt something jump in its inside. Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious horror. Peter felt suddenly brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize that it is the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of Summer.

The professor visited Narnia when he was a boy. If you read the book called the Magicians Nephew it’s all explained. Like what the lamppost is doing in forest and the wardrobe being carved from the wood of a Narnian tree.

i sob every time i watch this!! the biblical parallels are soooo incredibly powerful. c.s. lewis is just amazing - so grateful tolkien inspired him to write so many great stories!! 🖤 & watching that battle scene as a child was such an adrenaline rush lol

The air raid scene in the beginning of the film and the scene where the Pevensie children evacuate London always breaks my heart. I remember learning about the Second World War and other events during that decade when I studied abroad in France. Part of our experience included visits to the museum in Caen, the American Cemetery, Arromanches, and the D-Day beaches. World War II must have been a terrifying time. I cannot even imagine the things that generation went through. Fact: The co-producer Douglas Gresham is one of the stepsons of C.S. Lewis.

This movie was filmed in New Zealand and Weta Workshop worked on the costumes and props! Yes! The same company that did the weaponry for LOTR! That's why we see such authentic-looking and beautifully made swords, chain mail and other weaponry in what's basically a kids' movie. ❤

Your girlfriend looks so much more comfortable doing reactions now! You guys are great, it's like wathing a movie with friends, specially a nostalgic one like this! Loved the video

"Wouldn’t it be funny if he was just gonna go poop?" 😂😂

Quynh made me laugh so much in this reaction! 😆😆💀💀 “she has a big heart and never mad at anybody, I wish I could be like her.” 🤣 SAME girl, SAME. 💀 and when she says, “I’m dumb, cut that out”. 🤭 omggg and the poop comment. 😭💀

This movie is such a household name in the uk that we have this game thing, where you push your friends/family members into a bush, scream “NARNIA” and then run away 😂😂😂

That sound design in the beginning where the hide-and-seek music stops and reverberates is such an amazing thing. It’s so disconcerting and sort of “wobbles” you into apprehension.

No other movie makes me feel the way this one does! Like the nostalgia and wonder it makes you feel in unparalleled and for when it came out the CGI and special effects are INSANE

Edmunds acr throughout the series is incredible. I grew up with the books and loved the movies so much when they came out such a shame that they never continued the series with this cast. They’re perfect

OMG, that poop joke had me burst out laughing.

I wish they made all 7 movies. This book series was one of the biggest influences on the creation of Harry Potter. I'm not sure people would have been ready for the way the last movie would have ended, though

This story completely captivated my childhood. ❤ I stumbled onto the cartoon version one morning and was completely engrossed in the magic of Narnia. It shaped my whole childhood and made fantasy my favorite genre. 😂

For those who don’t know. There is a book before the lion, the witch and the wardrobe called the magicians nephew. (I don’t believe a movie has ever been made about it not even the VHS movies that do everything through the last battle). In that book the “magician’s nephew” is the professor. He witnessed the creation of Narnia from the void, what he does in that book is also why the witch is in Narnia in the first place she is actually from a completely different place.

45:04 Not quite a theory... in the book, it explicitly says that the witch had enchanted the Turkish Delight so that whoever ate it would have an immensely strong craving for it, so that's why he seemed so ready to betray his family with the promise of more of it.

Fun fact Christopher markus and stephen mcfeely who wrote this movie and the Narnia trilogy also wrote Avengers infinity war, Avengers endgame and 2 captain america movies

This series never got beyond Voyage of the Dawn Treader, so it's safe to talk about The Professor. The sixth book of the Narnia series is The Magician's Nephew. It serves as a prequel to the Narnia series. To cut a long story short, the eponymous 'magician's nephew' IS Digory Kirk, the child who grows up to be The Professor. Using magic rings, he and a little girl traveled to the Woods Between Worlds, discovered Jadis, the White Queen, in the ruins of her World and accidentally brought her to Narnia at the moment of it's creation (after a brief stopover in London, where Jadis tore a crossbar off a lamppost, which she dropped in Narnia and which grew into the Lamppost where Lucy met Tumnus). Digory and the girl returned home and buried the rings at the foot of an apple tree. Decades later the tree was felled in a storm and Digory had it turned into a wardrobe which waited silently in that upstairs room for Lucy to find it.

This was amazing, I had so much fun. You definitely went into this with the right frame of mind, not everyone does. It's such a special movie and you did it justice with your commentary. Also, your girlfriend is great! I hope to see more of her in future reactions!

In the book Father Christmas did give the Beavers gift. He repaired and improved their home and dam and left Mrs. Beaver a new and better sewing machine to replace the one the wolves had destroyed.

You guys are so dang cute together! The amount of laughing you do together is absolute couple goals ❤

I really disliked Edmund when I first saw this, but how he changes and sacrifices himself facing the witch! Great character arch! Loved him at the end! Lucy was super sweet and loving! Peter was fearless! All of them undergo change even Susan! But i think Edmunds bravery and selflessness is a shining example of a lost person being rescued from that darkness! Beautufully written by C. S. Lewis❤️

i remember first watching this movie when i was like, six, and really enjoying seeing the difference between edmumd at the beginning (with him being disappointed by the thought of peter also being king) and him at the end (being happy when it wasn't just him and peter as king, but also susan and lucy as queens). this film was one of the first ones where i pinpointed the exact differences in someone's character and it was fascinating

Regarding the design of the White Witch: the blond look was actually Tilda Swintons idea. They wanted the witch to look as aryan as possible, because they figured the kids biggest fear would be something that reminded them of the fascism that their father was fighting against. A white and blond witch would obviously remind the kids of the nazi regime, and it would also break a quite dishonorable tradition of always making villians look stereotypically jewish, asian or middle eastern. It can seem a small detail, but having a stereotypically white villian is actually pretty unusual, evan to this day.

In the book it was said that the Turkish delights were addictive/ drug like to Edmund which is why he was so willing to sell out his own family.

"You're worse than Beaver on bath day." "Worst day of the year."

Also some one mentioned in the battle, the queen is wearing Aslan cut mane!

Your girlfriend seens kind and genuine!

Regarding Edmund, he was experiencing a kind of withdrawal because his life in the "real" world is in the middle of the Second World War, which is why they had to leave. At that time there was a shortage of sugar so he must not have eaten sugar in months and if we add that the sweets came from a witch it is understandable, even though it is not right, that he did all that for some sweets

Loved y'alls reaction to my family's favorite movie!! Can't wait to see the 2nd and 3rd with you both! Read the books! CS Lewis is amazing and the directors of the movies really did a wonderful job of retelling his story while keeping everything that was nessecary. Ps. Yes, it mentions in the book that the Turkish Delight was enchanted, that was why Edmund was desperate for more. It was kind of insurance for the Witch, knowing that he would return.

In the books the beavers do get gifts from Santa. MR Beaver got his Damn completed back home. And Mrs Beaver got a new Sowing machine which was left at home because they wouldn't need it and couldn't carry it while on the run.

Ur gf adds a whole new dimension to ur reactions and I love it🥰 Definitely need more reactions with her and you😤

i can’t make it through the intro anymore without my cheeks hurting from smiling!! you two are so sweet i love how comfy she is getting behind the camera! ❤

Fun fact: theres quite a few turkish things in this. Turkish delight, Aslan’s and the white Queen’s (Jadis) names is literally just turkish for Lion and Witch, and Peter’s moniker “Peter the Magnificent” comes from Suleiman the Magnificent.

Edmund is a 10 year old boy in 1940 during world war 2 when there was sugar rationing and had been sent away to some stranger's house with his siblings who (particularly the elder 2) were being real jerks and had no idea that the seemingly kind lady offering the turkish delight was the literal embodiment of evil who would kill his family and himself once she no longer had any use for them.

The "poop" observation cracked me up. 😂

So, I know im late to the party here, 6 months late, but I love Narnia so much. I even purchased a book about the making Narnia and let me tell you, it is so worth the read. It has so many facts that you will wonder just how much wasn't shared. Here are but a few. 1.) Tilda and Skandar (Edmund) never interacted with each other before filming. All their practices were done seprately and only when it came to filming, were they allowed to meet. However, it was only to perform their lines for the scene and afterwards, Tilda asked if she could now talk to Skandar. Andrew Adamson wanted Skandar to have genuie fear of the witch and he felt by keeping them apart would help magnify that fear. 2.) Tilda was concerned that the kids needed to be kept happy. She insisted on making sure they had fun and then invited everyone to her home for the wrap party. 3.) Georgie and James McAvoy became fast friends and practiced their parts together. However, when it came time to film the scene when the first meet, Georgie had never seen James in his makeup and costume. So, when she first saw him, that scream she let out was genuie. She then broke character and asked James if that was really him. Andrew Adamson loved her reaction so much, that he kept it in the final. Unfortunately, because Georgie broke character, they had to reshoot the scene. 4.) When asked what her favorite scene was, Skandar's mom answered that it was the scene in which her son was tied to the tree and gagged. She literally asked if they could film it again. Last one to end a long comment 5.) Skandar was a trouble maker on the set. He would always play pranks on people and would poke one guy in the back every day, leading him to yell out Skandar's name. This meant that the day would be starting soon. Hope everyone enjoyed these 5 fun facts.

I don't think they ever mention it in the movie, but in the book its mentioned that the witches food is magic and bewitches any who consume it. First thing he did when entering the world was eat and drink of her food. So he didn't have a chance really from the very beginning.

Funny that you guys are reacting to this around the same time as See Jane Go Tv 🤣 🤣.

These books are INCREADIBLE The chapters first describing Aslan and Narnia being "born" some of the most beautiful literature I've ever read😊

9:06 that made me laugh way too hard😂😂😂 it’s soo true tho😂😂😂

The turkish delight was made of the blue liquid potion, it was designed to basically bring out the worst of your characteristics and make you addicted to it, which is why he asked for it as soon as he saw the witch again, and it caused his middle child syndrome to be cranked up to 1000. I also loved that they showed the actual battle in the movie, as in the book we only hear peter’s summary of it.

You guys are great together, excellent reaction!

I really like the lore about how Narnia was created. Unfortunately the only book of the series I read. The Lamppost grew out of some metal from a London one. Because when Narnia was born the land was so fertile you could plant basically anything you wanted. If I remember correctly. In the book there is one scene where they plant a caramel bonbon and overnight that grows into a tree, with delicious fruit kinda resembling the bonbons.

Father Christmas didn’t get in to Narnia “because of the hope that your Majesties have brought.” It was Aslan who broke the spell that kept him out. Because once Christmas happens, winter’s end is inevitable.

During the war food was heavily rationed. Lucy was probably a bit hungry and hadn't seen much meat in some time. So, yes a nice tea with sardines would have been a temptation for her.

I watched this movie when I was 7 years old. It made me love the fantasy worlds, just like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings.

I think the Turkish delight was magical and it made him crave it more!

Nick I found your chanel watching your first reaction to this awesome movie, this is my fFAVORITE saga, I'm currentrly reading all the books (I'm reading The Last Battle), thank you for reacting! Your girlfriend is sooooo cute, God bless you guys!

Such a cozy and cute reaction, thank you both

One of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES!!! This is such a beautiful and profound story. I treasured it as a child, and they did such an amazing job on this movie! Love you guys! Hope you get married soon! Lol ;-)

While the religious allegories are VERY obvious in this movie and I'm not religious, this has been one of my favorite movies since it came out. You can tell that everyone that worked on it was really determined to bring Lewis's world to life. The casting, the visuals, the costumes, the script adaptation -this is one of the movies I point to (besides LotR) when someone wants an example of a good book-to-movie adaptation. I've always been sad that the third movie wasn't as good as the first two and so this particular incarnation fell through, because I loved this one and Prince Caspian so much.

Fun fact J.K. Rolling got her inspiration from Narina. Lucy is Helga Hufflepuff her sister is Rowena Ravenclaw and the oldest brother Godric Gryffindor and the youngest brother is Salazar Slythern.

There are a few things that the film I think definitely improve upon the book. In the book it’s just assumed Edmond he’s unpleasant because he’s just a bully, while in the movie it’s because he misses his father; the kids don’t really show any reluctance to be involved in the war while they do in the movie and we actually see the climatic battle in the movie while it’s only the aftermath that is shown in the book.

Great reaction! You guys are so cute and I had to comment on it haha. These movies have a special place in my heart. I wish more people would watch it.

I love that the title says "My Girlfriend Cried" yet we still get this 30:46 🤣🤣🤣

fun fact the professor in narnia also plays a professor in harry potter.

I love Wyn's shirt! ❤❤❤ Also loving your guys' reactions together!

This was one of the first series i read. I love this

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid! So magical and it’s still a fun watch 20 years later :)

Love your reaction and your gf’s reaction is soooo cute and funny 😄. By the way, I recommend Shutter Island to you. It is directed by Scorsese. I got to say, it was one of the most phenomenal performances by Leo.

30:48 *the girls follow a troubled Aslan into the dark woods" Nguyen: "It'd be funny if he was just going to poop"😂😂😂😂

24:13 you'll be happy to know that the beavers got gifts in the book Mrs. Beaver got a new sewing machine delivered to their dam and Mr. Beaver got his dam completed with a new sluice gate.

Cool reaction video this is one of my favorites I hoped your girlfriend enjoyed it also I subscribed to your channel👍

I loved the 3 Narnia movies. Watching this with you just now reminded me how good they are. Hoping someone makes movies or miniseries about the last 4 books, too.

I thought you were going give the sad news,that the queen was wearing aslan's hair in the battle

In the book the Beavers do get presents from Father Christmas - I think Mrs Beaver gets a new sewing machine and Mr Beaver's dam gets completed .

I rewatch your Narnia reactions just yesterday and today you reposted a react with your GF today. I'm surely in for a treat.

I will forever remember that wolf jump-scare. It’s right up there with the car ad.

The Pevensie Kids visit Narnia several times but it is Lucy who visits the most because she is the youngest and as you get older it is harder to get into Narnia.

I think I read somewhere that c.s.Lewis was good friends with j.r.r.Tolkien and Tolkien dared Lewis to put something from our world in narnia. That’s where the lamppost came from.

Nguyen is so thoughtful like a warm hug

Lol 30:48 Well good a reason as any to go into the woods.

"Are you with me?" ..."I have no choice." xDD Also at 38:38 you gotta respect the dwarf. They had already lost and their queen was dead. He could've ran but decided to use the last of his strength to finish off Edmund. "I may be dead but at least I'm taking this pos with me!" :D

I don't know if you noticed but during the battle, the witch is wearing Aslans fur. That's why they shaved him🥺

Welp, that was a fun throwback for sure! There sure were some emotions on this side of the screen too. This movie truly has a strong tale to tell. Haven't seen this one in a while. Maybe I need to do something about that.. And I also think that I must now go and and read the books, too!

I like how this movie is almost 20 yrs old and shes asking if the CG animals are real

The lore is that years before this happened when the old professor was a boy, he and his mother stayed with his uncle as his mother was deathly sick. Eventually, he and another girl had come upon a place that was sort of an in between place by magic rings taken from his scheming uncle. This place was a beautiful meadow type area that had numerous pools and each pool was a different world and was called The Wood Between The Worlds. The professor and the girl (Digory and Polly) came upon a world that had already ended, a single survivor was left. Jadis, the queen, killed everyone to maintain her throne. They kind of picked up on how she wasn’t a good person (as children tend to do) and tried to leave. Jadis grabbed them as they tried to do so and eventually ended up in England. Jadis caused a ruckus (a BIG ONE as she’s super strong physically in our world) and at one point ended up tearing off a piece of lamppost and hitting someone with it. They used the rings to get her out of their world and ended up in Narnia as the world came into creation, built by Aslan. There was a tree with beautiful apples and the witch tried to get Digory to eat one but he refused. Upon seeing Aslan, Jadis grew frightened and threw the piece of lamppost at him but Aslan scared her so much she ran off into the woods. (That piece of lamppost eventually sprouted into a lamppost in Narnia) Due to Digory's successful resistance of Jadis' temptations Aslan permitted him to pluck an apple from the Tree of Protection to bring him to his mother, promising that it would magically heal, though it would not grant immortality or eternal youth. At the end of the story, Digory planted the seeds of the apple and it grew into a big magnificent tree whose leaves always fluttered even when there was no breeze. The tree unfortunately was felled but Digory had the lumber repurposed and had a beautiful wardrobe made with it. Sorry for the lengthy post, I LOVED these books as a kid and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe was my awakening love for fiction/fantasy books 😅

Watch The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian and Narnia The voyage of the dawn treader ❤️❤️

React The Chronicles of narnia:Prince Caspian and The Chronicles of narnia:The voyage of the dawn treader(this is my favorite haha)

Favourite reactions ive ever watched, and ive watched loads of reaction videos! You two are so sweet together! Will you watch the other Narnia films too??

Little bit of trivia the professor is known as Professor Digory Kirke, And when he was a boy, he saw the birth of Narnia alongside his childhood friend. Unfortunately, at the same time he brought Jadis the white witch into Narnia by accident. But to the Narnians that was several thousand years ago, time moves very different between Narnia and the real world. Sometimes it’ll move so fast that decades or millenniums will pass other times. It will move as if Mere Hours have passed. I just have something to say on the whole Turkish delight scene, what do you have to understand, Is that Edmund Peter Lucy and Susan have come from a war torn Britain that is facing bombing raids and that the U-boat Wolfpack are hunting shipping coming from the British empire and the US to bring goods to Britain so there is a lot of rationing at the time; especially things like sugar, eggs and butter. Which were being sent to fuel Britain’s military. And with the shortages of sugar, candy is not as abundant as it had been before the war. As a result things like Turkish delight is completely out of reach for Edmund. He thought he was just taking advantage of a generous woman to get him some sweets. And yes, the Turkish delight may have been laced with dark magic to influence Edmund into making bad decisions.

I grew u0 watching Narnia all 3 movies. I Lso still own all the books too. Thank you for this reaction

40:41 Oh Yes he knows, because he was one of the humans who saw the creation of Narnia (when he was a child) and it was his mistake that made the white witch in Narnia

Thank you for the great video.I enjoyed your reaction. Youget a thumbs up.👍

Best movie ever. Great react guys.

I never watched this movie because the title alone it sounded ridiculous to me but now I'd watch a movie staring Mr. Tumnus.

I love these books. My youngest son is named Caspian 😊
