I should say in reply to my own post, that Lewis' stepson has been agitating for years for the Christ references, metaphors, etc., be expunged from the Narnia series. Some recent print runs of the book series have actually complied with this.

It is to Disney's credit that they resisted this pressure, and did not flinch from including the messianic portions of LWW. (I'm not doubting that their considerations included monetary issues, mind you...;)

Can you post a source confirming this? A few months ago I bought the series to re-read (Read them originally in Jr. High). I dont remember if anything was different, as it had been a while between readings. If its true, Im surprised there hasn't been more criticism of it.. but then again, Im sort of not surprised :P
