**Comparing Narnia and LotR**

[Parmawen]

First off, I'm SO glad to see this thread, because since I saw Narnia for the first time I have been dying to talk about this!

A major thing I noticed was the whole horn idea. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were friends, correct? I remember reading that they were, and maybe they bounced ideas off each other? I'm not sure but I did notice a symmetry in Boromir's horn and Susan's horn. Both were supposed to bring help in times of need, and in the movie they sounded pretty similar. Plus there was the whole gift-giving sequence with Santa Claus that was very reminiscent of Galadriel's gifts.

And is it just me, or is the little gnome guy serving the witch (Kiran Shah or something like that) the stunt double for Frodo in LOTR? I thought I recognized his voice and face from those behind-the-scenes documentaries.
