I was recently thinking about the changes made in the film adaption of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," especially the inclusion of the fox character, and the waterfall scene that was added.
Though I'm usually a stickler for accuracy, I can sort of see why the screen writer wanted to create sort of an animal parallel to Edmond-- perhaps a craving for symetry prompted the change, or perhaps simply because they wanted to add another big name like Rupert Everett to the playbill. But I do feel that the film, for all its beauty and charm, has a strain of Hallmark-quality-supper-sappy-corn syrup-sweet sentamentalism that Lewis woould be repulsed by. Granted any film based on a text will only ever be an interpretation of the original, but I do feel that this addition was unwarrented. Lewis' prose style is warm and often playful, but it never stoops to Disney-happy low. What do you think?
