There are seven books in the series. Disney is going to make a franchise out of these. The presentation focused on the history of the books. We do get to see the children. One photo of the White Witch with icicles out of the top of her head, sort of like a crown. WETA will be doing the creatures in this one. That’s great news. They showed a short animatic of a possible CG battle. If you can picture the Battle at Pelennor Fields from ROTK with minotaurs, centaurs, and griffins, that’s what it looked like.
