C.S. Lewis had 2 conditions for a Narnia movie: No live action and no Disney involvement!

In 2005, Disney came out with a film version of the beloved C.S. Lewis book "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Disney spent tens of millions of dollars to make the film, which featured a computer generated lion playing Aslan (and voiced by Liam Neeson). In total, Disney used 1,700 special effects shots and computer generated sequences.

However, despite their efforts and the film's success, it is likely that C.S. Lewis, if he were alive, would have hated the movie. In a letter to a BBC producer in 1959, Lewis said that he was "absolutely opposed" to a live action version of his tale.

He was also opposed to Disney and wrote "if only Disney didn't combine so much vulgarity with his genius." According to these letters, the Narnia film version is exactly the opposite of what Lewis, who died in 1963, would have wanted.
