There is a good article on the religious symbolism at: http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/childrenandteens/story/0,6000,1657756,00.html
I don't think the writer was very impressed though, some choice bits include - "Disney is deliberately promoting this film to the religious - it has appointed Outreach, an evangelical publisher, to promote the Christian message behind the movie in British churches. " "Here in Narnia is the perfect Republican, muscular Christianity for America - that warped, distorted neo-fascist strain that thinks might is proof of right." Worth a read.
