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.
