Audio problem: When they're standing on the breaking ice, as Peter points his sword at Maugrim, Susan shouts, "Look, just because some man in a red coat hands you a sword doesn't make you a hero. Just drop it." In the very next shot (we still see Susan's profile, despite the side shot), Susan's lips/jaw are moving, but nothing is heard, which occurs just as Peter quickly glances at her and we also hear Beaver shout, "No, Peter!" (01:14:15)
Super Grover
Trivia: When the children listen to a news report on the radio, in Professor Kirke's house, the voice belongs to Douglas Gresham, who is C.S. Lewis's stepson, and co-producer of the film. C.S. Lewis, author of the original novel, delivered radio addresses over the BBC during World War II.
Trivia: After the initial credits begin (since many people leave the theatre as soon as the credits appear, they miss this), there is an additional short scene between Professor Kirke and Lucy, that takes place near the wardrobe. (02:12:25)
Continuity mistake: When Lucy, Peter, Susan and the Beavers speak with Father Christmas, the position of his large bag when it's on the ground, and then in the sleigh, distinctly differs between shots.

Continuity mistake: After Susan and Lucy say they don't have fun anymore, they splash each other in the water, before being surprised by Maugrim, and a few moments later, Peter runs into the water to rescue them. The water stains on their clothing noticeably differ between shots.
Continuity mistake: When the Pevensie children leave Mr. Tumnus' home they hear noises outside, so Susan places her hand on Peter's arm and Peter holds her hand. Just before Beaver appears, in the front shot, Susan and Peter remove their hands, but in the next shot they're back on Peter's arm. (00:44:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When Mrs. MacReady meets the Pevensie children at the train station, the reflector screen is reflected in the lenses of her glasses, as she looks down when she speaks to them. It is also visible when the children first arrive at the house, when Mrs. MacReady says, "There shall be no disturbing of the professor." (00:07:30)
Continuity mistake: After Lucy and Mr. Tumnus meet, when they pick up the scattered parcels their positions in his arms differ, and the string/bows tied round them differ repeatedly between shots.

Continuity mistake: When Lucy first meets Mr. Tumnus, he holds an umbrella and the strap is either over or under his fingers, depending on camera angle.
