The vdt and lww versions actually look very simlair, it is the pc version that looks differen't. I can't say which is better.
I agree that it looks a little bit better. We haven't seen enough for me to make a final judgment.
I meant his face was too long in PC.
My favorite Aslan was in LWW. He looked so tangible, so real. When he first came out of the tent I almost felt it was a real lion.
In PC he just didn't look right. It looked like he wasn't finished. His face was to long, and he lacked emotion.
In the fist picture that wolfloversk put up of the VDT Aslan, to me he looked like a stuffed animal. No emotion, no nothing. In the second one he looked a little more real, but in the third one to me he looked like a cartoon character. You could see it was obviously 3D.
I'm sorry if I offended someone with what I said,(because I noticed that a lot of people think the VDT Aslan is the best so far) but I think that the LWW Aslan was THE best.

I didn't like the PC Aslan very much and from what I've seen of VotDT I didn't like him much either (the second VDT picture of him was great but the other two didn't look real enough) Reminded me abit of a stuffed animal.
The LWW Aslan is my favorite, I especially love his eyes, they seem to convay so much emotion. I think the LWW Aslan is the best

I'm another fan of LWW Aslan. De De, I agree, when he walked out of the tent, OH MY, that made the movie for me!! All I could think was "How did they get a real lion to do that!!" Yeah, I know, pretty naive . PC Aslan was very disappointing. Even though I really liked the movie, Aslan was a big let down. I hope VDT returns to a more LWW-type Aslan. So far, I'm not impressed with him in the trailers but I'm hopeful when the movie is released, he'll be bigger and better than ever!!
Nothing anyone does gives me the right to be unkind.
The LWW has got to be my favorite version of Aslan. Everytime I watch the film, even though I know Aslan is something from the computer, I can fully believe that Aslan is a real walking and talking lion. I just want to reach out and touch his mane (the movement in the hairs is amazing, whether Aslan is moving or his mane is just blowing in the breeze). I really feel like those at Rhythm and Hues fully understood Aslan and the prospect of making him fully believable (a little fun fact for the day: there were three models used for Aslan in LWW, each for key parts of the film).
I could believe in only portions of the PC Aslan. His overall movements and interactions between "real" characters had improved, but the facial expressions and close-ups were a disappointment. I cringe everytime I see the shot of Lucy and Aslan at Beruna Bridge. The most believable shots of Aslan in PC for me were: Lucy seeing Aslan in her dream and hugging him (the interaction is believable), Aslan knocking the Telmarine soldier off his horse (again, a believable interaction), and Aslan's talk with Peter and Susan at the end of the film (probably my favorite shot of Aslan in PC. I wanted to be standing next to him there too).
As of now, it's hard to say much about the VDT Aslan becuase it isn't complete yet. In the trailer though, he feels like the BBC version of Aslan. His mane looks rough and I'm not sure on his coloration (there's a big change between that on the beach and the shot with Lucy on board the DT). I still think the LWW version of Aslan will be my favorite in the end, but I'll just have to see VDT to really decide.

I am hoping that Aslan looks the best in VotDT. I don't really know why, but maybe it's because VotDT is my favorite book! and he already, IMO, looks best in VotDT from the few pictures we have seen of him!

My favorite Aslan was in LWW. Perhaps he was shown more, he wasn't rushed into animation like in PC. He was very realistic and meaningful.

Aslan in lww looked absolutely amazing, but in pc
he didn't look very good, cuz they didn't spend too much time on him because he wasn't in it that much, but still he was kinda a dissapointment in pc. i think he'll look great in votd
I agree, Aslan looked so real in LWW! I have high hopes for Aslan in VDT!

Does anyone have any pictures of real lions to compare Aslan with?
I liked LWW the best, PC is ok, bt I'm not happy with VDT. His fur is too fluffy, his colour is weird and he does look like a stuffed animal.

is it just me or did aslan in pc look kinda greenish
My favorite so far is LWW Aslan. I don't think the CGI has progressed. If anything, it seems to have gone downward! I haven't seen very much of VDT Aslan, though, so I'll have to wait to decide.

I was one of those people that preferred the PC Aslan to the LWW Aslan. But personally, I have to say that I like the VDT Aslan from the trailers the best so far! Aslan really has to do more things in this movie compared to others. Not only does he have to walk around and talk, but if the film makers are going to follow the book (and we have heard that they are) than Aslan has to literally tear Eustace's dragon skin off. I was not able to read anything of the leaked script while it was available, and I hardly know anything about it. I did hear, however that as opposed to Aslan turning into an albatross and leading the crew out of the Dark Island, the Dawn Treader will follow Ramandu's Daughter, while she is in her star form. I always thought it would be an absolutely amazing CG scene to see Aslan transform into both the albatross and the lamb. I think it would be so cool to see the golden mane burst out over the lamb's wool, for the lamb to begin to grow in size, until he is completely transformed into his usual form!

seeing aslan transform would be amazing, but i think that they are spending so much time making normal aslan that they won't have the time to a scene like that
