Essential for an Effective Translation

In order to be an effective translation of the novel the film version of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe the film must contain almost all of the biggest ideas from the novel. It must contain the scene when Lucy first enters Narnia, when the Witch appears for the first time, the time where Aslan enters, and when the Witch is murdered. Those are just a few of the events that occured that are essential, but really since the length of the book is on the shorter side the entire book can be translated into the film. The one scene that has to be well done is the battle scene. This scene is what would make the book into a very good film for both the children an adult audiences. The book is short enough to put all of the book into the film and still making an effective movie that is fun for people of all ages. The amount of money that was spent on special effects for the making of this movie meant it could not be geared to one specific group, but instead the film makers had to make a childrens story into a film for everyone.
