I don’t want to give anything away for you if you haven’t seen it. But, consider this a small spoiler alert. Lucy is the smallest of C.S.

In a grand scene of epic proportions Lucy is standing on a bridge facing off an army of iron clad soldiers barreling a full pace on their mighty Stallions. In slow motion Lucy reaches into her scabbard and pulls out a tiny sword, about the size of a kitchen knife. As this insignificant little girl wields her less than magnificent sword the army screeches to a halt. The camera cuts back to Lucy and then begins to zoom out into a panoramic shot. There beside here stands Aslan. If you didn’t know Aslan is the Lion King of Narnia, the figure that pictures God in this timeless C.S. Lewis series.
