History Fridge / TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe

* Aparently, the witch likes a shaved pussy ... and the narration [[AdultFear subtly plays up]] the rapey undertones in the death scene in general (except that Aslan is then murdered instead of ... you know). While the kids reading the story (hopefully) don't realise this, their parents certainly would. She also comes off quite like a sexual predator in her first scene with Edmund (this creepiness is brilliantly portrayed by Tilda Swinton) - and there is a constant borderline violent undertone to everything she says. A WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids SatanicArchetype, indeed.

** Best case scenario: the phoenix egg is petrified along with the flames, and while it is kicked about a bit in the battle, this doesn't hurt the phoenix as the egg is now made of stone and the new bird is safe inside. Then the phoenix is unpetrified after the battle is over along with everyone else, and hatches then.

* In the Film, the lioness whom Edmund sees as a statue and draws spectacles on is wearing a drawing of just such a pair of spectacles as makeup during the coronation scene - she put it on in his honor for his big day.

* On a practical note, it's also fortunate they never had children because of the tangled SuccessionCrisis that could result.

* In ''Literature/PrinceCaspian'', the dwarf Nikabrik states that the White Witch "stamped out the Beavers, or at least there are none of them in Narnia now". She eliminated an ENTIRE SPECIES. And why? Why exterminate a race of basically harmless rodents and not far more dangerously aggressive ones like bears, boars, centaurs and the like? This troper surmises that the Prophecy predicting the fall of the Witch's regime specifically stated that the four human children who enter Narnia would be aided by beavers. Looking to prevent that from coming true, Jadis hedged her bets by not only killing any humans that entered her dominions, she also affected a FinalSolution to the beaver problem.

* It's very fortunate that none of the four ever married or had children (though Susan and Lucy are mentioned as having had multiple suitors, and wee see one of Susan's suitors, Prince Rabadash of Calormen, in ''Literature/TheHorseAndHisBoy'') or their spouses and kids would have been devastated when they didn't return from chasing the White Stag. If they had stayed in Narnia longer, it's likely that at least one or two of them would have eventually.

** Female dwarves have beards in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' and the ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' movies, so why not?

* The Beavers matter-of-factly decide to rescue the Pevensies when Tumnus gives them his handkerchief and asks them to look out for Lucy. This is despite the fact that Tumnus says all the Narnia citizens are threatened on pain of death to turn in any humans they find. Why do the Beavers become a HeroicBystander BattleCouple? Because they had hope for the first time, knowing that "Aslan is on the move", and besides which, there are four kids that need protection. Father Beaver is revealed he will go for BullyingADragon, mouthing off to Jadis despite Aslan telling him "Peace, Beaver".

* The reveal of Jadis's backstory in ''Literature/TheMagiciansNephew'' makes her temptation of Edmund all the more fitting. Besides craving more of the magic Turkish Delight, Edmund's motives for joining her are (a) her promise to make him heir to the throne of Narnia, and (b) SiblingRivalry, with his anger at Peter serving as the last straw that drives his betrayal. The prequel reveals that Jadis once waged a civil war against her sister for the throne of Charn, which she won by using a FantasticNuke to destroy their entire civilization rather than lose the throne and let her sister reign over her. Edmund never fully knew it[[note]]Unless Aslan told him during the talk they had - which is unlikely as it's both "sommeone elses story" ''and'' "what would have happened"[[/note]], but Jadis was an evil mirror of himself: the most extreme example of who he could have become if not for his HeelRealization and HeelFaceTurn, and quite a bit of DivineIntervention.

* Per word of God, the petrified Christmas party guests were brought back to life "offscreen". It would be a serious case of fridge heartwarming if it happened during the morning directly after Edmund's rescue: seeing them be turned into stone was what sparked Ed's heel face turn, of course he would've told Aslan about them during that talk they had (likely as one of the first things). As a way of telling Edmund "you're better than you think you are" for standing up to the witch on their behalf, Aslan might've taken him along and gone to restore the guests from their statue state right then and there.

* Most of the casualties in the Walden movie's final battle are brought back to life either by Aslan's Breath of God or the fire flower potion. There was one real casualty, though: the griffon who is stabbed by Jadis's staff in mid-flight and shatters on the rocks below. Presumably, there were also plenty of combatants on both sides who died of conventional wounds before Lucy arrived with her cordial, as well.[[note]]If Aslan did not put the Gryphon back together before unpetrifying him (which should be noted is not beyond [[CrystalDragonJesus his]] abilities by any definition of the word, it stands to reason that the Gryphon simply died since his body was beyond recovery. And if you look at the other books in the series (namely the Dawn Treader, the Silver Chair, and the Last Battle), he would've almost certainly ended up in Aslan's country (AKA {{Heaven}}) if that were the case. The situation isn't nearly as bad as it first seems.[[/note]]

* The narration tells that there were "Incubuses" among the Witch's forces -- that is, incubi, male HornyDevils from Judeo-Christian mythology. Now consider that there were two underage girls among the heroes, and wonder what could have happened to them had Jadis's side won the battle and captured them alive. '''Sleep tight.''' Neil Gaiman's short story ''Literature/TheProblemOfSusan'' inflicts [[spoiler:this on the boys, who are implied to be turned into incubi while the lion eats the girls slowly]].

* Edmund faints when he's rescued and is carried to the Narnian camp while unconscious - it was probably Aslan who woke him. For someone who latched onto the witch basically because it was better even for someone to ''pretend'' to care than nothing at all, that awakening is also serious fridge heartwarming.
** And then Aslan must have taken a few hours to talk to and care for Edmund, who's just been rescued from the witch - no matter that Ed got ''himself'' into that one and is de facto the witch's mole, no matter that all the battle planning is put on hold: anything else can wait or is unimportant to Aslan when someone needs him.

** Also, would be just as heartwarming when seen from the guests' point of view: if being petrified is like being unconscious ("none the worse for having been a statue"), then they wake to find that in the meantime the boy who (unsuccessfully) protested on their behalf has gone to get them help.

* How horrible would it be to return to being a common child in 1940s England, with all the knowledge of twenty or so years of being an adult King or Queen in Narnia? They have to go through puberty TWICE ! [[note]]In the books, it was stated somewhere that memories of the real world become faint, dreamlike, when in Narnia long enough, and vice versa. This was not included in the film adaptation of ''Caspian''. Of course, [[LossOfIdentity this in itself is fridge horror]].[[/note]]
