The National Zoo will be joined by actors Georgie Henley and Skandar Keynes who star in the upcoming holiday motion picture event, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for a special naming ceremony Thursday, December 9th.
In celebration of the upcoming movie and C.S. Lewis’ beloved books, the cast will announce the name of one of the Zoo’s seven lion cubs (http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/GreatCats/LionUpdates/default.cfm), a 10-week-old male cub born to female lion Nababiep Sept. 22 and sired by the Zoo’s lion Luke.
The event supports the Zoo’s great-cat conservation, research and public education. The Zoo’s seven lion cubs will make their public debut Dec. 18, weather permitting, after they have received all of their vaccinations. The film will open in theaters nationwide Friday, December 10.
guess there naming him Aslan…because “Kids like Zoos” LOL
probably lol … i noticed skandar dissing will about right at the end of the interview, where he turns around and says “kids like zoos?” i think the video cuts at kids
we saw that too and wished we could have seen the rest. We’ve been quoting it ever since! 🙂
where are you getting that quote? I can’t find it…
it’s on narniaweb, i think. it’s one of the 22 interviews. not sure which one.

its the first video on this page. Watch it clear through. Its worth it.
Thanks! Is it just me or does Georgie look weird in that interview? haha, but anyway, is the “kids love zoes?” an inside joke with them or something? I really don’t see how that is funny.
Tomorrow, the 9th? Why would they make Skandar and Georgie go to Knoxville TN tonight, then all the way to DC tomorrow morning or afternoon, and then back to Lexington KY? What a horrible schedule. They’re not superheroes!
I used to live near DC. I’ve been to this zoo countless times!
I know me too! Of course I live no where near there now that there is some sort of Narnia event going on.
theres a new narnia clip on yahoo. its one of the dragon attacking the ship you can see it here http://blog.movies.yahoo.com/blog/249-hollywood-says-humbug-to-holiday-movies
I just went to the zoo last summer. It is probably the best zoo I have ever gone to. The animals are given the best care ever, and has a great conservation program.
