Violence & Gore
-
- The movie begins by dramatizing a depiction of the German attack. We see a plane crash in flames. Bombers loom overhead and loud explosions roar in the background as the children run for cover. Edmund and Peter are knocked over by the force of one blast.
- In between those "modern" and "ancient" battles, Peter, Susan, Lucy and the Beavers are pursued through a tunnel by a pack of wolves, who at another time catch the fox and threaten to kill him. The children also cross a frozen river as the ice breaks beneath their feet and as a frozen waterfall begins to thaw and collapse above them. They are eventually cornered by the wolves, and they wind up falling into the raging torrent and being swept downstream. Later, Peter kills a wolf with his sword. (Again, no blood is seen, even though Aslan tells Peter to clean his blade.) Some of Aslan's soldiers attack the White Witch's encampment to free Edmund, swinging swords as the Witch's henchmen fight back.
- Ginarrbrik, the White Witch's evil dwarf, tackles Edmund and holds a knife to his throat. The Witch slaps Edmund, and Ginarrbrik raps him over the head with a pike. Characters grimace in pain as the White Witch turns them to stone.

- The professor smokes a pipe.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- A wolf very suddenly pounces on Edmund. Later a wolf barks/growls at Susan when she pulls a towel away revealing him, startling her.
- Nothing overtly intense. This is still a very fuzzy/(being Disney) cutesy movie about teamwork and friendship, with lots of bonding between the character. And a movie with very strong Christian themes. Kids could see it with an older sibling.
- The ending is quite sad, yet uplifting.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- The film concludes with a grand battle featuring armies of animals and mythological creatures. Minotaurs, centaurs, unicorns, cyclopes and giants run headlong into each other. (No blood or gore is shown in any of these sequences.) Volleys of arrows are fired, and Susan fells a malicious dwarf with one well-aimed shot. Swords and lances do their damage. Giants swing their clubs. And Edmund is stabbed with a broken spear. Griffins dive-bomb the White Witch's army with giant boulders. A charging rhino bowls over enemy forces and tosses one creature into the air with its horn.
- At the Stone Table, Aslan is physically abused, shaved and tied up. The White Witch then stands over him with a spear and plunges it downward. (This blow, as is the case throughout the film, makes impact offscreen; we see Aslan's eyes go wide in pain as he absorbs the fatal wound.)
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- When the children and the Beavers are on the run, they are one point pursued by a sled that seems to be the White Witch's. They hide and Mr. Beaver ventures out to have a look. After a tense period of silence, Mr. Beaver happily returns to tell the children to come out; the driver of that sled is actually Father Christmas/Santa Claus who is able to enter Narnia again and he has presents for Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy.
- In the scene where Aslan is led to execution by the White Witch, many terrifying-looking creatures cackle around and mock him; the scene ends in Aslan's temporary death.
- A faun stand in defiance of the witch; for that, she turns him to stone, with a look of fear frozen on his face.
- The White Witch is mauled by Aslan off-screen.
- The "Frozen River" sequence is intense throughout since the ice is breaking apart. The waterfall is also breaking free of its hundred-year ice prison, and this scene is also where the wolves' catch up with the children just before the waterfall breaks free.
- The scene where Edmund is stabbed by the White Witch may be shocking to younger children.
