The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

I'm going to start with the first (and in my opinion the best) of the Chronicles of Narnia movies. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe very few changes were made, something I value highly. The scene where the Pevensie children follow the robin through the woods to Mr. Beaver was so greatly shortened that in the movie the kids simply hear the robin, step outside of Mr. Tumnus's house and run into Mr. Beaver. This eliminates a conversation between Peter and Edmund which has Ed putting doubts of the Narnians into Pete's mind. In the story the conversation's point was to show how Edmund was already going to betray his siblings. In the movie though I think the acting of Skander Keynes, and dialogue show this well enough without the long trek and conversation. Other details omitted for time were the three maid servants that worked in the Professor's house, they did little past the first chapter, and that the house was toured frequently. In fact Mrs. Macready is leading a tour when the kids are hiding in the wardrobe altogether, and then finding themselves in Narnia. Other scenes are moved from their chronological order in the book to better fit the format of a movie. One scene I miss is when Aslan is melting statues in the Witch's Castle. Lucy tries to console Giant Rumblebuffin by offering her much to small handkerchief. The giant then picks up Lucy, mistaking her for the handkerchief. He quickly realizes the mistakes at puts her down before things get messy. He even tries to use the small handkerchief, though it does him no good. To finish I am placing this movie in the Minor category. Because it keeps the characters' personalities accurately and follows the storyline.
