Although the film had a mixed reception and did not continue with sequels, the story has been adapted into a successful television series titled "His Dark Materials," which aired from 2019 to 2022. This series covers the entire trilogy, providing a more complete adaptation of Pullman's work.

Additionally, the film's controversial elements, such as its critique of organized religion, sparked backlash, particularly from groups like the Catholic League.

"The Golden Compass," based on Philip Pullman's novel "Northern Lights," is not directly related to Narnia but shares thematic similarities. Both stories explore parallel worlds, feature young protagonists, and delve into complex moral and philosophical questions.

While both series involve fantastical elements and adventure, they originate from different authors and have distinct messages.
