Did you see Disney try and say that this movie had no "Christian" elements, and that it is merely a "fantasy" movie.
CS Lewis was one of the prominent Catholic writers of the 20th century and the first book of his major work (a trilogy)has nothing to do with Christianity? Yep.
But, as far as being nominated for an Oscar, the movie wasn't that great...Lord of the Rings with a more obvious Christian element. This is Hollywood after all.
And, Brokeback has made quite a lot of money considering the subject matter, and the non-blockbuster element.

CS Lewis wasn't Catholic, he was Anglican.

Narnia had Christ written all over it.

Actually, the Narnia series is made up of 7 books (not a trilogy.)
