Really? It’s not the most amazing line ever, but it seems like Lucy might let slip before she knew the disposition of the mice. After all, in VotDT she wanted to hug Reep, and how on earth are you going to express a sentiment like that on screen without a similar line?

I see (and agree with) what you’re saying, but there were certainly cute characters in Narnia. Again, Lucy wanting to hug Reep.
…. Okay, I forgot the “Oh my gosh” part… thanks for pointing that out. It is too modern, but I still don’t mind the rest of the line.
This was mentioned on the old forum, but the repeated use of “shut up” annoyed me. First of all it was rather rude and out of character for otherwise polite characters (Reepicheep for example) but it was also far too modern.

That doesn’t bother me at all. LotR happened to do an amazing job at most everything so of course everyone is going to copy them because there really isn’t a better way to do it… there are only a certain number of ways you can choreograph a chase scene on horseback through a magical land while crossing a river. There’s no way to get around the “copy catting” without losing effect. A few other details like Susan throwing the arrow were much more blatant.

Really? They may not be the most amazing SFX , but I thought they were pretty realistic overall, and there were no “cringe” shots like the “It’s the world” shot in LWW. I would never stoop to call them cheesy. Anyways, I think Narnia is about more than amazing eye candy on principle.
