Aslan, way before 'The Chronicles of Narnia'.
So one my Mom s friends, turned in a JeHoVah.
They had their own movies, and theatre.

The film the Bible version of Narnia, or the Lion King.
The Mythical Lion called Aslan ?

"Although Aslan can be read as an original character, parallels exist with Jesus. According to the author, Aslan is not an allegorical portrayal of Christ, but rather a suppositional incarnation of Christ himself:

If Aslan represented the immaterial Deity, he would be an allegorical figure. In reality however, he is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question, "What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?" This is not allegory at all.

In one of his last letters, Lewis wrote, "Since Narnia is a world of Talking Beasts, I thought He [Christ] would become a Talking Beast there, as He became a man here. I pictured Him becoming a lion there because (a) the lion is supposed to be the king of beasts; (b) Christ is called "The Lion of Judah" in the Bible; (c) I'd been having strange dreams about lions when I began writing the work."

The similarity between the death and resurrection of Aslan and the death and resurrection of Jesus is obvious; one author has observed that like Jesus, Aslan was ridiculed before his death, mourned, and then discovered to be absent from the place where his body had been laid. In this interpretation, the girls Susan and Lucy who witness Aslan's death, mourn him and witness his resurrection would stand for The Three Marys of Christian tradition.

Aslan's words to the Calormene in The Last Battle ("I take to me the services which thou hast done to [the false god]... if any man swear by [him] and keep his oath for the oath's sake, it is by [Aslan] that he has truly sworn, though he know it not, and it is I who reward him"), ratifying the good deeds the latter did even in service to a false god, have been the subject of controversy because they implicitly endorse inclusivism."

Identity politics is demonic. It's a ruse used for centuries by those those in power to keep us at war with ourselves & not question authority/theocracy/kleptocracy/etc . 😉

Weird as i watched the movie pre 1981, when the 1-st edition.
And when was the 1-st film version made, i wonder if the cartoon movie i saw.
About a Lion called Aslan, was based on the book Narnia.

His death was real sad half the audience, kid s cried.

Then the movie Narnia [recent] also excist s.
But was made way later, decades later.
So what i saw was sort of a first attempt of filming the book.
Seems more logic or its just based on the bible, or maybe not.
And had nothing to do with the book Narnia written by Lewis ?
Wrong see the book been written before i was born.

When was the first edition ? Found 1950 s, wow then it was a first try.
To make a movie out of it.
