Your GF has good taste! Gudetama is amazing, I think we can all aspire to be as powerful as it is. I'm ashamed to say I had to quickly google Badtz-maru to remember who that was :P
Nice! I was always more of a Harry Potter fan growing up, to be honest. The few books I read were great though. Never heard Aslan described like a teddy bear but that makes him sound even better so I fully agree. I liked a lot of the animals, I think the beavers were super minor characters but they were awesome too :D
