- During the filming of the film, two pseudonyms were used: "Hundred Years of Winter" and "Paravel" (the castle in the film is called Cair Paravel). In Auckland (a city in the north of New Zealand's North Island), the signs for the extras and crew members were written "Paravel".
- Director Andrew Adamson and his production team from West Oakland were greeted by traditional Maori etiquette and customs in the Maori hall near the West Oakland production studio. This shows respect for the aboriginals of West Oakland whose land was used for filming.
- The production staff applied for permission to bring 12 reindeer into New Zealand to pull the sleigh of the "Ice Queen". The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry rejected the request on the grounds that the caribou may be infected with a fatal fever. However, eight wolves were allowed to shoot in Oakland.
- Tilda Swinton, who plays the "White Witch", has not read this set of books before filming.
- Co-producer Douglas Gresham is the stepson of CS Lewis, the author of the book The Chronicles of Narnia.
- Except for the scene where Aslan just came out of the tent, none of the lions that appeared in the film was real.
- Movies are basically shot in chronological order. But at the end of the film, the scenes of the children falling out of the closet were taken before the location shooting, because this way the children's skin would look as white as it was at the beginning.
- When the children were at the train station, Peter looked at a soldier. This soldier was played by Jaxin Hall. He auditioned for the role of Peter. In the end, he ranked second and the role was given to William Moseley.
- The reaction of Lucy, played by Georgie Henley, to Mr. Duna, the sheep near the lamppost, is true. The director blindfolded her and took her to the scene and started filming. She was surprised when she saw James McAvoy, who played Mr. Duna.
- The figure that Mrs. MacReady told the children not to touch was the bust of Dante.
- Brian Cox was originally appointed as the voice of Aslan.
- In the chase at the end, Rachael Henley, who plays Lucy when he grows up, and Georgie Henley, who plays Lucy, are sisters in reality.
- Movie DVD Easter Egg: There is a director’s chair on the left side of the menu of "Evolution of an Epic". After clicking it, a small red logo will appear. Click it again and a short video will appear, telling you that Edmund played by Skandar Keynes How many Turkish delights did you eat?
- There are some bird's nests on the set. The sound of birds caused several shots to have to be retaken. One of the birds also became an actor, playing the role of the bird leading the children from Mr. Duna’s house to the beaver couple in front of the green screen.
- The pack of wolves that destroyed the house of the Beavers are real wolves, but because they kept wagging their tails during the shooting process, their feeling of evil was reduced. In the end, their tails were removed by digital technology and new ones were added.
- Mr. Tumnus only had hoofs all over his body, which were made with a computer. His ears are remote-controlled, his nose is fake, and he has a lot of fake hair.
- After Lucy met Mr. Duna, the half-goat, he played music for her with that funny-looking Narnia instrument. In fact, the sound came from an ancient Armenian wind instrument "duduk".
- The original author of the film, C·S·Lewis, and Tolkien, the father of the Lord of the Rings, are close friends.
- In order to create the frozen world in the film, the crew used 7,000 gallons of resin and 1,500 meters of glass fiber.
- The various animals in the White Witch’s courtyard are made of Styrofoam. The 70 full-size sculptures were hand-carved by 10 artists from Beijing, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, which lasted 5 months.
