I have not seen the film yet. But Darwin Catholic has this interesting post about the lack of farmland. Read about it here:



I am sure that Lewis mentioned farm and pasturelands in the book.

Those are excellent points, Glumpuddle. Thanks for a new perspective on it. I still have problems with it, especially with the Castle Raid, but this may allow me to enjoy it all better next time. I wouldn't mind terribly going to see it again... :rolleyes:

Anyone notice any technical errors not related directly to the story? This is a minor thing, but I heard the song of an American bird, the Swainson's Thrush in the movie, which was supposed to have been made in New Zealand. I'm a birder, and that's why I noticed it. It was just after Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy had first reentered Narnia from our world. Perhaps the song was added to soundtrack without much regard for which species the birds were. But there are no Swainson's thrushes in New Zealand and we don't know if they are in Narnia either.

Here is a link to the bird's song (and a description of the bird):

Larry, that has to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Kudos to you for noticing, though!

I'll bet you think I'm really finicky-- at least about having the right bird songs in movies! :smile:

Well it IS Narnia after all--no telling what birds might be there!

I always thought that in Narnia they would be British birds, e.g. nightingales, skylarks, European blackbirds, or something like that. Of course there would be New Zealand birds if the movie was made there, but isn't an American thrush a little out of its habitat?
