For the same reason, I suspect, that you posted the same question three
times under different headings.....

But seriously, because you didn't see them, is that a proof they didn't?

No. You answered that question *yourself* by admitting that we see a
number of the "destonees" (such as Tumnus, the Fox, and that lion)
later on.

So instead of asking a semi-trollish question that's already been
answered by the movie, your time would have been used in asking
yourself *what* this blurring and disappearance may mean, as it
OBVIOUSLY and SELF-EVIDENTLY doesn't mean that they were "raptured to
heaven".

For example, *my* interpretation of that scene, is that we see it from
the point of view of Peter, where he has a sort-of religious experience
in witnessing the Utmost Reality that Aslan is, turning everything and
everyone else (especially the transient chaos of battle) to mere
insignificant blurs by comparison.

Why waste your and our time with questions that you've already answered
yourself, instead of asking the question that is actually open, the one
inviting actual interpretation and theorizing?

In the rest of that scene, as the four children enjoy their reunion, and as
we fly over the scene just before the trnasition to Cair Paravel, I did not
see the hordes of reinforcements who came from the castle standing around.
Shouldn't they have unblurred after Peter was done witnessing the Utmost
Reality that Aslan is?

I imagine they're supposed to have been pursuing the enemy. Perhaps
they should have been seen. That's a complaint for the director
however,
not a reason to believe they were "raptured": As you said we see
several
of them afterwards, therefore it's a fact that they were NOT
"raptured".

It had crossed my mind that most of them might have been "raptured" because they
did not belong in Narnia, since they would have been dead by now if they hadn't
been stoned, so they got a free ticket to Heaven. I figured that the marked lion
might have been stoned recently, so hadn't exceeded his normal time in Narnia.
Ditto for Tumnus and the fox.
