Well, he was very different in the movie than the book, wasn't he? What do you think about how Andrew added this character? I think the fox did really well, though he sort of lost his innocence, so it created a different feel when the White Witch killed him.

Not quite sure what I should say on this subject. I think I might need to go reread LWW, for fear of saying something untrue of him.

Well, he definitely had a bigger role in the movie. But I think it was for the better. I mean, it could've been good either way I think, so I'm okay with it.
I remember the book fox being a lot more innocent. I think he had a single line, didn't he? I just remember the whole "party" that was happening with the animals ending up with them crying for mercy. But in the movie he seems a lot more intelligent and witty.

yes, I loved the movie's fox.  He was a great character! In the book he was an 'innocent bystander', so it showed that the witch was merciless and rather rude, to break into a couple of animal's little party.  It certainly was different in the movie, but I loved to see a character helping the Pevensies early on and representing the creatures of Narnia who would gladly fight for them under Aslan. |

I think it is great the way they choose characters from the book, like the fox, and give us enough exposure to them to get to know them...even love them. I think you have to do that especially in a movie.
After looking into the fox's eyes and feeling his warmth and seeing what he did for the children, I really liked him and so then it was so heart-breaking to see him die. I could feel Edmund's pain. I could empathize more with his tears although I know they were not just for the fox...
