    George Melies 'Silent Lion Witch and Wardrobe

    I think they would pretty much stick the hide and seek, the entry into the coats of the wardrobe, and the lamppost in the snow. It would all start to fall apart when a shirtless man with horns strapped to his head and fur covered jeans came out holding an umbrella. Thing is, you don't have to...

    George Melies 'Silent Lion Witch and Wardrobe

    We all know that the Chronicles of Narnia took place roughly during World War II, unless you are counting the early adventures in The Magician's Nephew. That doesn't mean we can't imagine how cheesy George Melies would have made the film series in, let's say, 1897 to 1903ish. It would be fun to...

    Greta Gerwig Sent us a Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew Gift Today

    No "progressive" filmmaker can destroy the Chronicles of Narnia any more than a "progressive church" can destroy the atoning sacrifice and resurrection of our Lord. They can seek to associate with it, and even claim to represent and adore it, and yet still miss it entirely. But just because a...

    Path-Choosing Stories

    Jake arrived at the creation we call Channel 8, for lack of a better name, quite nauseous. That was his first channel change, and his body rebelled. What passed for meadow grass was blue. The trees--taller than any trees he had ever seen on earth, had leaves of aqua and cerulean. The cloudless...

    Path-Choosing Stories

    Copperfox has consented to postpone actually starting "Sang Ki-jung," so I can try my hand at a path-choosing story which came to my mind. Copperfox can resume his kung fu story sometime later. Therefore I now proceed with Channel 8. ======== CHANNEL 8 ======== Once upon a time there was a...

    I finally traded in the badger with glasses for Ripple Otter, the happy chappy who, as I do now, sees without glasses and experiences the joy of life with open glee.

    The Marketplace of Technique: Open to All

    Perhaps you've noticed my otterly charming profile picture. It represents two things--first that I have not worn glasses for about three years since my cataract surgery permenently changed my vision to 20x20--second, that I am happy in my retirement and have found inner peace dealing both with...

    The Marketplace of Technique: Open to All

    ===================== AN APPEAL TO COMMON SENSE ===================== Narnia was created FOR talking beasts. Humans intruded and were tasked with repairing as much of the damage as they could as wise rulers. Narnia is NOT a theme park where humans can be entertained and bemused by talking...

    Harrod's Bend - or - Otterly Narnia

    - 12 - New Beginnings It was early on a most important day at Pond Place. Thistle the Dry Goods seller was there with a rented formal jacket for Rip. “Stop squirming,” the hare said, trying to fasten the cravat around his neck. “Stop trying to strangle me,” the otter said, exasperated...

    - 11 - Talking Points Rip was lost in a wonderland of geometric bliss, hunched over a drafting table with a pair of dividers and a straight edge. He had gone beyond the basic shapes he learned in the early chapters of Hedgley’s Helpful Handbook and was creating perfect triangles, swirls, and...

    Harrod's Bend - or - Otterly Narnia

    - 10 - The Manor The royal mail came to Pond Place. Rip was delighted to see Pappy Bounder bringing him the letter. “How’s Glory and all the little Bounders?” “Right as rain, Mr. Pond. I’ll tell ‘em you asked.” “Please call me Rip.” Ripley got a crescent to tip Pappy, but the rabbit shook...

    Harrod's Bend - or - Otterly Narnia

    - 9 - Handy and Hardy Since subsistence fishing wasn't really his thing, and he liked a varied diet, Rip tried his paws at construction. He had watched the workers performing repairs. With his fabricating skills, he understood what they did and why. He was hampered by his lack of technical...

    - 8 - Oh, For the Love of Fish! After his open house, Ripley Pond found himself in love with the whole idea of small-town life. In Cair Paravel he only stood out because of his outlandish claims and spectacular failures. Now he stood out because of his warmth and humility, and the hope that...

    - 7 - The Open House Rip was grateful to Thistle for his hospitality, but he was even more grateful to move back into his own home, a place that was not haunted by the undisturbed belongings of Dodger and which now with its freshly painted rooms and potted plants was no longer haunted by...

    - 6 - A Little Help To say Pond Place needed a little help was putting it mildly. The first couple of steps were not as obvious. Even before the roof and floor, the wisteria and ivy had to come off. That wasn’t a house with plants, it was plants with a stand. Despite his initial misgivings...
