What does the character of Aslan the lion represent for you?
Andrew Adamson: I’ve always loved big cats because of Aslan. I like the fear and awe that they inspire, the way you are drawn to them and yet afraid of them. I think this is why C.S. Lewis chose a lion to be this powerful omnipotent character. What was your approach to dealing with the Narnia-books’ much-discussed Christian subtext? Andrew Adamson: My approach was to make a movie that was faithful to C.S. Lewis’ book. This is a book that has been read for generations and interpreted differently by many people throughout the years. Basically I think the movie is true to the book in the same way: If you found spiritual meaning in the book, you will find it in the movie. If you enjoyed the book as an adventure so you will the movie.
