Oh god, I know D: There's nothing, NOTHING, right with that ending at all. The fact that he clearly meant it to be "happy" is just, well, it kind of renders me speechless really. The only apologists I know of for it are ardent Christians, and maybe you have to be to find anything other than vicious, life-denying cynicism in the whole thing. The whole "yippee, hurry up and die so we can go to heaven" attitude is beyond contemptible.
It's difficult, really. Basically everything Lewis intended the books to stand for I loathe with every fibre of my being, but I still can't help being inordinately fond of them. FML :D
Other fabulous Disney films: The Jungle Book. Favourite Disney EVAR. I <3 it so much :D
