Decent kids flick... I don't know why you're upset about that.

Although I did have some let down when I saw the movie, I'm not that upset about it, I'm being a little provocative...heheh.

Someone posted a thread a few weeks ago haranguing the Potter movies and claiming them to be vehicles of moral destruction for kids and our country. I defended Potter pretty much the same way those here are defending Narnia.

Wanted to see what the shoe looked like on the other foot.

One interesting thing, those that supported the "Potter is teaching our kids occult" mentioned that Narnia was a much better movie and that he would enjoy it much more. I was quite taken back by the amount of "occult" in Narnia. Witches, magic doors, mythological creatures, magic weapons, spells, etc.

I'm not sure how one squares criticism of Potter for being occultish and then praising Narnia for not being so. Aside the symbolism of Aslan dying and coming back to life, they were very similar.
