Personally at first I thought he was just confused and controled by the ape but in the end I was confused and Hated him and the ape for what they did
Sorry but what does IE mean? and EG?

Wow, hello everyone, it's been a while for me...
That is an awesome website...very much like the one for the LOTR movies. Can't wait to see more.

Well, the movies that are out now for "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe", "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and "The Silver Chair" were really, really great. It'll be tough for them to beat those movies, even if modern special effects give some small advantage.
I say the advantage is small because often special effects become too much of a focus and character development is skipped out on in favor of it. In this case, they'd better try not to omit or bury the symbolism, for that is the strongest aspect of the Narnia series. |

mmm...I agree with you lief. as a side comment, not a discussion topic, I think that was one of the weaknessess with the LOTR movies...that the actual movie magic overshadowed the story and character development.
However, the Narnia website indicates that they have a good screen writer who is committed to being faithful to the books, and they have Douglas Gresham involved, too. I'm confused...the only movies I've heard of about Narnia are the animated LWW, which I haven't seen, and the BBC productions of about ...10 or so years ago (?) I saw the BBC LWW, and VDT, but not the Silver Chair or any of the others. Did you really like the BBC ones? I thought they were faithful to the story, but the stuffed lion wasn't impressive. I would like to see some CG effects to further create the world visually.

One good thing about the low-budget ones is that they have to rely on the story, rather than SF or battle scenes.
P. S. - Wasn't Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader on the same one?

Yes, those two were on the same tape. I personally really liked the BBC productions; you're missing out by not seeing their The Silver Chair, englishnerd. It was my favorite of them.
Though I agree with you that their lion isn't impressive . But then, no real lion would be right for Aslan either. |

too true, Lief. I'll have to check out that silver chair. I think I was afraid of seeing it because the first two were kind of disappointing.

Was he stuffed? I thought he was two guys in a suit.

hmmm... I just wish that the excellence of the form matched better the excellence of the content in the BBC productions. I did really like the dialogue, and how they stayed so true to the text.
:-)

Ditto. Wish they'd made a LOTR mini-series...
