    Celebrate Advent with Hallow and CS Lewis

    I'm not sure! I personally can't learn much more about it without a membership, but this review gives some good screen shots of a few features and a rundown of the app. From what I gather it looks like it does, as at least one screen grab includes a few prompts. But, I may be wrong. Here's a...

    What is ONE thing you hope happens in the Netflix Narnia stuff, that you are concerned they won't do?

    One thing I'd like, especially when we come back to VoDt, it for the story to remain episodic. One thing that became all too common in 2010's fantasy movies is to try to give a "tighter" plot tread to stories that were either more episodic in nature, like Dawn Treader, or The Hobbit ( as studio...

    A Narnia Christmas Carol

    If were going for a straight one to one retelling, I'd actually go with the following: Definitely Andrew as Scrooge. With Digory Kirke as nephew Fred. Miraz as Jacob Marley ( greedy, covetous, would have to atone for some sins). Ramandu's daughter as The Ghost of Christmas Past ( most...

    Natalie Wood. She's the only one who lines up in the time-line to be remotely close to being a contemporary for Susan Pevensie. And hearkening back to my post featuring Father Christmas from Narnia being one and the same with Tom Bombadil and teh Ghost of Christmas Present... Father Christmas...

    Silly Ideas for the Netflix Narnia Movies and Shows

    Not only does Aslan playfully romp upon his resurrection in LWW, or lead the romp in Prince Caspian...he busts out the following dance moves in a 15 minute montage including "twerking", "flossing", "The Thriller", "the Hustle", "the YMCA", "The Chicken Dance" and "The Charleston".

    Connected to A Christmas Carol, The Spirit of Christmas Present is also Father Christmas from not only Narnia, but Tolkien's Father Christmas Letters and...it gets even better... Father Christmas was Tom Bombadil!

    Merging The Narnia Series With Unrelated Books

    Somewhat off topic, but there is a story in the Doctor Who Comic magazine from 2010 that saw the Doctor and Amy traveling back to London where they had a chat with Tolkien and Lewis. The Doctor even is the one who suggested Jack use a Wardrobe as the portal to Narnia.

    Sir Robin's Minstrel from Monty Python and the Holy Grail escapes just before he's eaten and slips through one of those chinks and chasms in our world and ends up in Narnia just and becomes Reepicheep's minstrel. And there is much rejoicing. (Unenthusiastic.) *Yeah.*

    Least Favorite movie

    Fair point. That said, if they had bothered to ask my advice on the Last Jedi ( which they didn't) and considering the whole "Map to find Luke Skywalker" plot thread from The Force Awakens, what I would have done is take that page from the Arthur myths and have Kylo Ren, like Sir Mordred, deal...

    Least Favorite movie

    THANK YOU! Fact is, by the time of the sequel trilogy it had originally been George Lucas' intention that Luke would be more like a King Arthur figure returning when the galaxy needed him most ( which we saw utilized perfectly in the season 2 finale of the Mandalorian). Luke was supposed to be...

    To add my five cents to the debate ( sorry, inflation being as it is, it can't just be two cents anymore) a better option for merging Narnia and Oz is if the Cowardly Lion were a younger half brother of Aslan, much like how James, Jude, Simon and Joses were to Our Lord, as mentioned in the...

    What if Narnia Books Were Each A Musical?

    I almost wonder if a musical, especially an animated one akin to the Disney classics, or Dreamworks Prince of Egypt, may be the way to go for Narnia. Its well established that in a musical when they break out into song it's because its a moment of heightened emotion when mere dialogue won't due...

    Middle Names for Narnia Characters

    Yes. Yes it is. I had initially thought about using the European naming convention with Digory and give him a family name, a Christian name ( or given name), and a middle name and have him be "Arthur Digory James Kirke" but that just felt silly. If I went with that, Peter's middle name would...

    Silly Ideas for the Netflix Narnia Movies and Shows

    Hey, now...we're talking "silly" not cruel. Then again, this is Netflix, where they cancel good shows all too soon, and extend bad ones past their expiration dates. Even if they don't cancel a good one, they'll over extend it to the point that it declines in quality and keep it running ad...
