Oh wow! I have been to Camp Allen twice. It's just under an hour away from me and it's a really peaceful place. This sounds really good! I might be able to go.

I'm familiar with Veggie Tales. I knew about them when they first came out, then watched a lot of them with my nieces and nephew between 2010-2015. They have such good messages and humor. Some of the songs are still stuck in my head, and as a balding 41-year old I'll occasionally break out into...

I just saw this. Exciting. More excited than I thought I'd be. Well, at least we have something concrete to track and follow now. It will be interesting to see if something good comes out of this.

Some kids who played games about Narnia Got gradually balmier and balmier---

These are excellent points. I rather like what they did with "GENERAL Glozelle and Lord Sopespian." (emphasis added to accentuate Miraz's insinuating intonation). Although a heavy military slant detracted from the heart of the story, it was at least a conceivable perspective of the antagonist...

Yeah...about Prince Capsian... I remember how excited I was when the first trailer came out. The opening shot captured the girls in school uniforms running across a London street behind a double-decker bus, with one of the lions, "like the lions of Trafalgar Square" watching solemnly, this to...

I like that quote. Even though I have not read or seen King Solomon's Mines, what Lewis is saying makes perfect sense. Tell the story as it is written. I liked that the BBC version accurately portrayed Edmund facing himself/his conscience. He had decided to ignore the overwhelming evidence in...

There's a lot of great material here to pull from. Sure, there could have been two Swanwhites. I never really thought of it that way before though. Having one's reflection shine from pools of water into the sky like a star for a year and a day is a pretty unique character attribute. Though I...

How about the revival of Mary Poppins? I enjoyed watching the music come alive in Saving Mr. Banks, an otherwise tragic story. Mary Poppins Returns definitely exceeded my expectations, and the choreography was incredible. I'm familiar with Godspell as a youth from the audience. Almost...

Oh yes, at the time the Disney Prince Caspian arrived, I remember there was a poll on here asking which of the many changes made to the film was the worst, and the assassination of Peter's character was exactly what I voted on. Likewise unnecessary was Disney Peter's attitude of, how shall I...

Well I finally finished rewatching the BBC The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I had started via my DVD player. However the remote control for that device seems to be broken and I had limited buttons to chose from on the actual device, so if I watched any another DVD and then returned to the...

The Horse and His Boy has a lot of interesting background. A series or season centered around the Golden Age of Narnia, give or take a few decades, would make for great storytelling in the right hands. Aravis and Lasaraleen recount numerous adventures throughout the Calormene countryside, while...

This is a really good article. I'm in the middle of watching the BBC LWW, and it's been years. It's so wonderful watching it again. I feel like I'm really there in Narnia. https://www.google.com/amp/s/filmotomy.com/the-everlasting-charm-of-bbcs-the-chronicles-of-narnia/amp/

I was really confused as to what your point was at all about the schools. To call them rubbish and out of place are pretty strong statements that need support. I think the description of the schools is very appropriately reflective of the oppressive culture of conquest that existed under the...

Prince Caspian is a brilliant story, especially the ending. There is poetic justice in the overthrow of the "enlightened" education system of the Telmarines and the subsequent refreshments. Boys that had been pigs far too long could no longer be boys again. Grapes burst forth (think "The...

Specter, while I agree with many of your points, I just really struggle with the Sequel Trilogy. First, though, I agree erasing or rewriting the sequel trilogy would not be helpful. There are some beautfiul things about it, like you mentioned, such as Luke and Leia's interaction. It is certainly...

I have definitely been wanting such an approach. I can really appreciate your keen analysis of the key components necessary for such an undertaking. Your words capture this prospect precisely. The comprehensive cast selection and filming timeline would allow the best options specific to each...

Okay, here is the first part of my review/synopsis for the "Prince Caspian" play I saw in July at The Logos Theater. I wanted to have completed it sooner, but I just haven't had enough time. So I started with the introduction and hope to provide more on it soon. It was definitely worth the drive...

I came across this refreshing article the other day. I'm in general agreement with Liam Gaughan. Actually...I think he's spot on! I skipped through the first few extraneous paragraphs and started reading where he actually begins ranking and analyzing the Walden Media films. Here's a link to the...

Well, it's a go! I leave tomorrow and stay with a friend in Mobile, Alabama. Then onto South Carolina to see Prince Caspian Friday night with another friend there. Surely I will listen to the audio drama on the way! Or should I wait until after? Hmm, tough choice. I'm so excited! Then onto visit...
