When Lucy first sees Susan's horn in the Dawn Treader, behind her shoulder (or is it behind Caspian? Bear with me, I've only seen it once!) there's a painting on the wall of a young woman with dark hair. We don't get a close look, but from what I saw I didn't feel it was Susan. Who do you all think it was?
Also, hanging on the wall in Eustace's room is an award for Personal Hygiene. (Perfect! ) I didn't catch what group/school awarded it to him, though. Which might be nice to know! Experiment House, anyone?
That is awesome! I can't believe I missed that! I just rewatched Voyage of the Dawn Treader with a friend who hadn't seen it before and I noticed a bunch of little stuff but not that! Good EYE!
I know there was the Personal Hygiene award, but I don't remember seeing it. Was it when they first introduced Eustace as he writes in his journal?

Here is the Personal Hygiene Award Eustace got. You can see it just as Eustace's character is introduced, as well as his, uh, interesting bug collection.
thanks, I love that it's there.
Just a little thing I noticed (it's not that special at all, but while we're on the subject of noticing things), when Susan/"Phyllis" was reading a magazine in the beginning of PC, I believe it was a picture of Amelia Earhart.
at the end of the movie, Eustace's mother said that Jill was visiting him, but I think Lewis did not mention that Jill and Eustace were friends before meet together Narnia, did he?

The Lady Arwen Undómiel, Yeah, that was weird. The whole swords-turning-blue thing was weird. The whole green mist thing was weird, for that matter!!
wizardjna, You are correct, Jill is not mentioned until The Silver Chair. Eustace and Jill don't meet in Narnia, though, they meet at Experiment House, the school they both go to. It is obvious from the first chapter that the two already know each other, although they have not communicated much (Eustace talks to Jill about the change he underwent that summer, comparing his behavior now to the kind he had last year in school, and Jill agrees that he was a brat before.) Having that knowledge, the director, I suppose, decided to add that little line in preparation for the upcoming Silver Chair, so that people would kind of recognize who Jill was. (if it were coming up) VDT's poor box office performance in comparison to its predecessors LWW and even PC, and also the complication with the rights issues (see the Narniaweb news page) have led to the situation we are in now, where we are not sure if Silver Chair of Magician's Nephew will be next, or if any movie will be made, so that line may prove unnecessary with time.
Personally I think that line was extra, but it's there, so nothing can be done about it.

For some reason the "Aslan's shadow" thread is locked, so I'll mention it here. It appears the scene was "corrected" for the 3D Blu-Ray, so the invisible Aslan must have been deemed a mistake.
Having seen it the other way on the DVD and 2D Blu-Ray, it just seems... less powerful.

One of the things that really stuck out to me was the scene when Eustace is undragoned, he graps the wrong arm to see if the sword was still there , like really, they couldnt take the time to redo that scene? Stupid....
While looking through the VoDT caps on homeofthenutty, I noticed two things I haven't seen mentioned anywhere.
First, in Lucy's room with the painting at the Scrubbs' house, over the head of her bed hangs a circular piece of art depicting two merpeople. A bit of foreshadowing on the part of the set decorators! It's best seen in this screencap. (I cropped it but it's still pretty hi-res)
More interestingly, I noticed some evidence in the mystery of Reepicheep's abscence on the Magician's Island. In this cropped screencap, immediately after the dufflepuds kidnap Lucy, you can see in the center of the image a tiny bed with what appears to be a tail curling out from the end of it. However, there is no head on the pillow. Furthermore, in this cap, while Ed and Caspian grab their armor, it appears that the blankets of Reep's bed in the foreground have been thrown back. It's not much, but now we can at least dismiss the theory of Reepicheep having slept on board the Dawn Treader.
Upon further consideration of screencaps from that scene, I noticed something else. Among various other goofs, in the shot that opens the scene, panning in toward Caspian asleep on the sand, if you look at the left of that first screencap you can see that Lucy is not in her bedroll, and fascinatingly, Reepicheep's is clearly empty as well! Apparently this shot was orignally after the kidnapping and when they needed to use it earlier they digitally filled in the dufflepud tracks and hoped no one would notice anything else.
TL;DR? Reepicheep apparently hopped out of bed shortly after Lucy was kidnapped, certainly before anyone else woke up. So where did he go during the rest of the adventures/exposition on Magician's Island? Why was he never animated in and/or his scenes were deleted? Probably we'll never know.

In LWW the Extended Edition, Lucy's crown moves about an inch forward on her head during the coronation scene.
I just noticed something I've never seen mentioned on NWeb before - a little tidbit of the sort we all love.
In PC, when Peter and Edmund are pushing the sliding stone wall over to expose the door to the treasure chamber, to the right of Ed's shoulder you can see large words engraved in the stone slab. I can't make out what it says - it may not be in English. I'm thinking it's probably meant to be Telmarine graffiti from after the destruction of Cair Paravel?
I'll try to upload a screencap of it to this post when I'm on my usual computer.
Edit: Here is the screencap:
