Trivia: Professor Kirke presents three choices to the other Pevensie children of what to think about Lucy’s claim about Narnia: that she is lying, that she is mad, or that she is telling the truth. C.S. Lewis was a vocal advocate of Christianity, and in his book “Mere Christianity” presented three similar choices about Jesus’ claim to be the Son of God: Liar, Lunatic, or Lord. This is known as his “Trilemma” argument, and is still often used by Christians today.
Goofs: Continuity: When Edmund follows Lucy into the wardrobe, Lucy closes the door to the wardrobe, then as Edmund walks into the room the door is shown slightly open, then it is closed again when he goes to open it.
