This Version of Tumnus

The british Tumnus voice is much better, but that may be a biased personal opinion. In the british version, tumnus sounds more ''dithery'' and confused when he meets lucy for the first time. He also sounds more sinister when he says ''that is, absolutly delighted'' when finding out that lucy is human.

The Queen sounds much more sinister with a British voice. When she says ''No!'' to edmund when he asks for another piece of turkish delight to eat on the way home, it was enough to send chills down my spine when i was a kid.

In the british sound track (if you've never heard it) is where the white witch comes across the animal's party and demands to know where they got those things from, the foxes attempt at saying ''father christmas'' is a lot more comical. In this scene, edmund can be heard sounding much more concerned for the animals wealthfare and the sounds of terror from the animals are greatly enhanced on the british soundtrack.

Also, when edmund is punched in the back by the queen's slave when they are forced to walk after her winter has been destroyed, you hear a more evident sound of pain from edmund than that of the american soundtrack.

The lion, on the british soundtrack, is made to sound more grand and powerful. The beaver, has more of an accent in the british version and i believe, though i will have to view both versions in more detail, there are omitted lines between the two soundtracks, including some from aslans death scene and some from the beaver. Aslans death scene is certainly made to sound more sinister on the british soundtrack, which leads me to believe that some of the alterations were deliberate.
