Fans in South Bend, IN to Line up early for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?

They have a laptop computer, MP3 players and books, including C.S. Lewis’ “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

“That’s the movie (‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’) probably the next one we’ll wait outside for,” Wallis said. “I may be more excited about that one than ‘Star Wars.’ ”

Both read “The Chronicles of Narnia” as children. They read J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” books in college.

Why are those movies so special?

Wallis thought a while before answering. “They’re just kind of escapist stories — outside everyday life. It’s the fantasy and the adventure.”

“The same thing,” Burton said. “I’ll piggyback on that.”
