From:

I was a little sad about some of the changes -- some of the little moments or lines that really stuck with me from the book weren't in the movie. (They'd all have fit in if they weren't so pushy about showing lots of action and running about, grr.) By and large, though the feel was appropriate. I think I would have found Aslan's voice distracting if it had been done by an actor I was very familiar with. (I don't see many movies at all, so you have to be somebody like James Earl Jones or Robin Williams to distract me. The person who actually did it is rather famous, I gather, but I didn't know his voice. I'm re-reading the book tonight, and I'm pleased to find that my own mental rendering of Aslan's voice hasn't been changed at all, nor my roughly 25-year-old mental images of the people and places in the book.)
