1. I wish they wouldn’t cut Caspian out of the DVD/Blu-ray cover in favor of the White Queen. Grr.

   • I know! Caspian played a bigger role.

   • Probably because they made such a big deal about her but they still should have Caspian on the cover.

   • I think the reason they didn’t put Caspian (Ben Barnes) on the cover is because Michael Apted as well as Fox really tried to distance this film from the “teen heart-throb” approach of “Prince Caspian”, (not that I didn’t appreciate it. lol jk) which is why they probably decided to remove Caspian from the cover. Also, a lot of adventure film covers contain 3 things, something that gives you a reminder of the film (The Dawn Treader), the heroes of the film (Edmund, Lucy, Eustace, and Reep), and lastly some sort of glimpse of the film’s villain. In Dawn Treader, the closest thing we have to a villian is the “return” of the White Witch. I suppose they didn’t thing putting a green mist on the front would have been as exciting… or clear as a “evil figure”.
     Don’t get me wrong, I think Caspian should be on the cover as well, but this is my guess as to why he is not.
     For Aslan! 🙂

     • I suppose the serpent would have been too terrifying. 🙂

       • not to mention it never won an oscar.

2. Actually its before the Deathly Hallows DVD comes out 😉 (comes out on the 15th in the US and 11th in the UK).
   SO excited for the Dawn Treader DVD! The extras sound great 🙂

   • Wonder if The HD Room just mis-read the release date for HP.

     • Really I had no idea it would been great if it came out on April 8th besides my birthday is on April 7th and I could have gone and bought it as a Birthday present.

3. Oh man! Me & my family can NOT wait! YES!!!!!!!! The count down is on…..I hope the time goes by fast! I would LOVE to have it be the directors cut (like the 1st 1 I have) though. But still an awesome movie….

   When & what will be the next 1 in theaters?

   • Probably SC then HHB then MN then LB so that all the characters atLB will be in it.

4. I want that for my B-day but it’s not till September and I’ll probably won’t be able to get till then 🙁

   • Me too..

     • My birthday’s May 2nd, a lot closer to the release date. But I can’t wait that long! I waited for 2+ years for the movie to be out in theaters, and now 4 months and 8 days for the Blueray. No way I can wait another 14 days after it’s released for my birthday. I’ll just have to save up enough money to buy it on my own. 14 days might not sound that long, but I’ve waited too long already. 🙂

5. so will there be a silver chair movie

   • No word on that yet.

6. Yes! Another countdown to drive my friends batty with! *laughs evilly*
   But just one question: Is this just news for region A, or is it a worldwide release date?

   • 😀 yes, I do that too!! Now I can do it again:D:)

     • Although they may be a little less annoyed seeing as it is only about 60 days to count down rather than 600! 😀

       • I can relate 100%

7. Is the 3-disc blu ray going to be available in Mexico?

8. So, to be clear, the two-disc DVD will have all of the Bonus features ever mentioned? I want them all, but I don’t have Blue-Ray.

   • That’s what he done did said! 😉

     • SWEET! Whats the extra disc for on the bluray version then?

9. all in all, even no extended – i think it’ll be an all round awesome pack.

   For Narnia!

10. This is good news….but Caspian should definitely be on the cover…the white witch only had a very small role!

    • OMG stop obsessing about that guys! What done is done!

11. April 8 is two months away. It’s still at the theater here where I live. Maybe I’ll see again before the dvd release.

12. One Question: the picture from the news i mean that one with the postcard and stuff will be included in the bluray package??

    • Imean all that stuff will be inside of the package???

    • Good question. I think that might be the case, but I’m not certain. I have to believe they’d only show it pictured if it was included.

      • That would be awesome! I was hoping for that!

13. Paul,
    Where should I buy the DVD that will support the franchise the most? Would it be better to buy it on Amazon, or from my local Walmart, or will Fox sell it on their website or what? Will the Narnia franchise make more or less money if I buy the DVD at different places?
    (By the way – I’m a first time commenter!)

    • Anywhere you buy it counts the same. 🙂

14. Here in Brazil the launch of DVD and Blu-ray for both rental and for sale will be March 30 very, very happy! See here: http://migre.me/3NEKD

15. YA!!! My birthday is April 11. What a great birthday gift for me. I hope my parents will buy this dvd for my birthday!!!!!! 🙂

    • Well, my dog’s birthday is April 12… Oh, wait. Maybe we’d better not go there again. 😛

      • Yeah..I remember you saying that earlier..What’s his name? Is he a Narnian too? Buy one DVD for him also… 😀 😀

        • LOL KATY!

        • my cats were narnians, however, they are now in aslan’s country, waiting for me. probably hangin’ with The Big Cat. : )

          • I love that! 🙂 Nice way of thinking of it! 😀

16. Man! No Commentary with the cast! thats my favorite part! -_-

17. I am the most sad that the three BTS featurettes will not be included on the 2-disc DVD version, only the Blu-ray. Are we sure about that?

18. I am glad it is coming out the 8th and not the 15th! 7 days earlier!

19. *drools* this is beautiful! 😀

20. Paul Martin, I have a question. If you could answer it that would be great:) There is a bookstore that i always shop @ and they are giving me a cheaper price if i pre-buy VDT. i can pre-buy the Special edition, DVD, or 3-disc blu-ray edition. I’m just wondering if the Blu-ray would have all the same special features on it that the special edition does? I want to make a good purchase and i love blu-ray but also want the special edition. sooooo….?

    • Yes, most blu-ray discs these days will have all of the features that a DVD has. I believe this is the case with the blu-ray of Dawn Treader.

      • thank you so much-that really helps. I think I’ll buy the blu-ray now!

21. Boooo, harry potter! Narania beat it up!!!
    I am happy if harry potter becomes the worst movie series ever !!! I hate harry potter it is stupid!!! I would rather watch Narnia, Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings movies! I don’t like it at all. It is a stupid story line! Narnia is at least modest to watch! ( How can people watch it. all that stupid witchcraft and evil. one of the worst movies to be. In my oppion!)Hope this doesn’t offend anyone ,but I am tired of hearing about harry potter, it is sick to my stomach, I couldn’t live with someone who reads, collects, watches or does any thing with it! I would throw it in the trash and burn it!!!!
    Go Narnia beat it to the top !

22. Sorry, I got excited.

23. Eeepp! I want that so much! Have to preorder it!

24. why is there no 3D bluray release of this??? I know that a lot of time and effort was done in post production to get the 3D effects to work and not be a repeat of the ‘Clash of the Titans’ remake 3D’ing debacle. Also, why is the film’s aspect ratio changed for the home video release – the film in the theater was 2.35, here though it sounds like the film is now full frame 1.78 – was this okayed by the director? And the sound – this was Fox Studios first discrete 7.1 surround sound release for the cinema, yet from what I can tell, they did not encode the bluray as such and it’s just the standard 5.1 soundmix – it really begins to sound like Fox really shafted the bluray edition and us fans with state of the art home theater systems.

25. Okay, I am really confused about this. I am going to buy the DVD, But I want the one that has the most features on it. Not in blu ray though because I don’t have a blu ray player. Does the regular 2 disc edition come with the post card collection and all the behind the scenes features? I don’t want to buy a DVD set and then realize I should have bought another version after I’ve already spent my money. I don’t get why they don’t just put it all in one bundle so people wouldn’t get so confused 😛 And also does the standard 2 disc edtion come with a digital copy? or is that just the blu ray? If you could get back to me it would mean a lot. Thanks 🙂
