**Comparing Narnia and LotR**

[alatar]

Can't help but post this thought after watching (yet again) the animated version of LWW (soon to be the new version when the Easter Bunny drops off the DVD).

Knowing what I know about PJ, having watched his take on LotR, I just shudder to think what he would have brought to LWW:

• Aslan would have jumped out of the brush a few times at the humans to 'increase tension.'

• The White Witch's sleigh would have been three times as big.

• During the scene where Susan and Lucy grieve over the lifeless body of Aslan, PJ surely would have added a belch (one of the rats, perhaps) to lighten the mood a bit.

• At the last battle, Peter would have faced a four-armed White Witch who'd swing four huge swords.

• During the negotiations over the fate of Edmund, someone would have lost a head.

• Mr. Beaver would have had a drinking contest with the fox.

• Edmund, having slain some minion of the WW, would have defiantly stated, "I AM no overlarge beardless dwarf!"

• "Hand over the humans, He-faun!"

• etc...
