The movie begins by dramatizing a depiction of the German attack. We see a plane crash in flames. Bombers loom overhead and loud explosions roar in the background as the children run for cover. Edmund and Peter are knocked over by the force of one blast.

In between those "modern" and "ancient" battles, Peter, Susan, Lucy and the Beavers are pursued through a tunnel by a pack of wolves, who at another time catch the fox and threaten to kill him. The children also cross a frozen river as the ice breaks beneath their feet and as a frozen waterfall begins to thaw and collapse above them. They are eventually cornered by the wolves, and they wind up falling into the raging torrent and being swept downstream. Later, Peter kills a wolf with his sword. (Again, no blood is seen, even though Aslan tells Peter to clean his blade.) Some of Aslan's soldiers attack the White Witch's encampment to free Edmund, swinging swords as the Witch's henchmen fight back.

Ginarrbrik, the White Witch's evil dwarf, tackles Edmund and holds a knife to his throat. The Witch slaps Edmund, and Ginarrbrik raps him over the head with a pike. Characters grimace in pain as the White Witch turns them to stone.

The professor smokes a pipe.

A wolf very suddenly pounces on Edmund. Later a wolf barks/growls at Susan when she pulls a towel away revealing him, startling her.

Nothing overtly intense. This is still a very fuzzy/(being Disney) cutesy movie about teamwork and friendship, with lots of bonding between the character. And a movie with very strong Christian themes. Kids could see it with an older sibling.

The ending is quite sad, yet uplifting.
