Reepicheep was always Aslan's mouse, and so of course he would be let into Aslan's country. And yes, I agree with you. Reepicheep did do a fantastic job, including the bloke who said his lines. There are a couple of shots which set Reepicheep as downright cute. One is seeing him curled up, sound asleep, in the same cabin space as Eustace had. The other one was at the end when he finally allowed Lucy to give him the sort of hug she had always wanted to give him.

And the way Reepicheep mentioned that tail. Aslan gave him the tail, mind you.

I really liked Reepicheep in the movie. Along with Eustace i feel he was one of the few things they really really right.

The one thing i would say about his voice though - i personally found it was just noticeably different enough to Eddie Izzard's in Prince Caspian for it to be a minor distraction to me, but at the same time i didn't feel the voice was sufficiently different enough in performance to provide any new angle to the character. So i was kind of left feeling that they didn't really gain anything out of the change. But in the grand scheme of things it's not really a big complaint of mine.

I hadn't read the books, so I was unaware that this was the last movie for Reep, and I was so overwhelmed when he entered Aslans country, i started getting teary, as I was so excited for the character of Reep as he had served Aslan so nobley in the PC and in this film as well. I loved the moments Reep had with Eustace, and especially loved the scene at the camp fire (?) scene, when he was trying to comfort Eustace after he had been turned into a dragon.

When Reepicheep left for Aslan's country: I cried.. and so did my best friend next to me.. He was amazing.. loved his character!

This is going to be so sad when I watch Reep disappear over the waterfall! I (well I held back but was shiny-eyed) when Frodo left, so...

And Reep is so noble...and cute. Sorry Reep, but you are...

I loved Reep!!!!!!!!!!! He was a such a noble character. Him and Eustace were so AMAZING together!!!!!!! I could not have asked for anything better

No one touches the tail Period. Exclamtaion point!!

Lol best line ever

Hmm, really? Pegg gave a much more natural, down-to-earth, and gentle performance than Izzard, who played the character in a more brash and slapstick fashion, although some of this was due to the script. Reep really didn't do anything for me in PC, whereas here he was one of the high points. So I'm very glad they made the change. Aside from downplaying his desire for Aslan's country, the character was very well served here.

Well, not the best line, but one of the best funny lines in the film-- Period. Exclamation point!

Well done with Reep! Voice was good, animation was good, and character was good. I LOVED the relationship with Eustace. And I LOVED his relationship to Aslan.

*dittos* Reep was very entertaining and pretty well on par, except for the bit you mentioned about Aslan's Country. I was pleasantly surprised with Pegg's performance.

Reep and Eustace were spot on!

Another character they got right! Reep and Eustace! I feel spoiled! I am so glad that of all the things they tried to get right, the ones that really worked and were perfect were characters.
I loved Reep's swordfighting tutorial with Eustace!
If I had one complaint, I missed the "No Reep, I won't let you challenge him to single combat" moment.

I loved when he's singing on the VDT and Lucy catches him. So adorable!

Also loved Reepicheep's mentoring of Eustace in swordfighting also/of Dragon-Eustace not running away from battle and his encouragement of Dragon-Eustace. All sweetly done. Only quibble was that there was not enough of it shown onscreen.

Found myself wanting to do as Lucy and hug the mouse myself.

So sad when Eustace cried at Reep's departure, would have hoped he could have hugged him too or given Reep a farewell handshake LOL.

Three characters stood out to me the most. Edmund, Eustace, and Reep. Edmund mostly because Skandar has been the best actor in LWW and PC, and he delivered again in VDT. Eustace could not have been better and I REALLY hope they get going on SC quickly so I can see Will Poulter pull off another spectacular performance.

Then there is Reepicheep. He is by far the best animated character in a live action movie I have seen. He is even better than most purely animated characters. Graphics were perfect and his emotional depictions were stellar. I absolutely love his interactions with Eustace with three scenes standing out: the orange theft w sword fight, him with dragon Eustace, and then at the end. It is going to be hard to see SC knowing Reep is done in the series.

I know quite a few people don't like the movie because of the plot changes, but I will say though, that they nailed the characters about as good as they could. Vast improvement over PC.
