Rumor has it the kids had to wear so many layers of fake fur that they couldn’t really hug. Imagine trying to high-five your sibling, but you’re both wearing ski gloves made of wool and static electricity. The movie is basically a very expensive school vacation project.
Georgie Henley later admitted she cried when she first saw the lion animatronic. Honestly, I’d cry too if my co-star had more makeup artists than I did. And Tilda Swinton reportedly kept her witch’s stare on set, scaring the horses. That’s the energy of a person who doesn’t return shopping carts, but you still respect.
The production used real snow, which sounds magical until you realize it’s just cold, wet, and gets everywhere. It’s the same as when you rent a beach house but forget how sand ruins everything. The cast probably had more snot than dialogue by the end of filming.

Where Are They Now? (Spoiler: They’re Just Like Us)
William Moseley now looks like a handsome guy who sells you craft beer at a farmers’ market. Anna Popplewell teaches and writes, because of course the sensible one became an actual librarian in spirit. Skandar Keynes left acting to become a political wonk, which feels like Edmund deciding to actually be useful in government.
Georgie Henley is still acting and writing plays, proving that Lucy never lost the magic. Tilda Swinton continues to haunt our dreams in the best way, like that one aunt who shows up to holidays wearing a cape and no one questions it.
Even the Beaver voiced by Ray Winstone feels like your drunk uncle at a barbecue. You know he’s going to say something off-color, but he also builds a damn good fire pit.
