Christian artist Vicky Beeching is going to be performing some songs, but mostly, she says, speaking on C.S. Lewis for ‘Narnia Day.’ Part of their Homeschool Days.
Next week I am speaking at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. I’m singing a couple of songs too, but most of it will be me speaking about C S Lewis. They are holding a “Narnia Day” centered around the Prince Caspian exhibit they have there. Apparently there’s someone dressed up as Caspian, and some scenes from the movie rebuilt that you can walk around. So watch this space for a photo of me and Prince Caspian!
The day is for HomeSchoolers…so it will be fun to tell them about C S Lewis and what a hero he’s been to me. They also want me to tell stories about my time in Oxford and the different ways that C S Lewis ‘met’ me through the places he used to teach, live and hang out. Fun times!
Since Disney has dropped out of the future Narnia projects, I have wondered what they planned on doing with the “Journey into Narnia” attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. But it seems they’re going to keep it around, at least through their events that will feature it.
If anyone goes, can you please submit a report about it?
Homeschool Days take place on January 12 and/or 13, 2009.
Kelly Kyle, the owner of a bookshop named “Narnia Children’s Books” is facing a lawsuit for having the word “Narnia” in their store name, according to TimesDispatch.com. This comes as a surprise because the store opened in 1984, and they have not received any prior requests to change the name.
In an effort to reward the faithful fans, who have been the biggest champions of the Narnia movies, Disney has orchestrated a simultaneous, fan-driven launch of the trailer on all Narnia fan sites — from Narnia Web and Narnia Fans, to all Narnia groups on social media communities like Facebook and MySpace.
CS Lewis, who is enjoying renewed popularity with the release of the film adaptation of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”, won in 1956 for the lesser known “The Last Battle,” the concluding volume in his “Chronicles of Narnia.”
