That comparison of Adamson's Peter to Shrek is on point. It's sad but true. I don't see the line in and of itself as racist. Some people have lighter skin, some have darker skin. If a viewer were to take issue with it, isn't that a reflection of their own outlook? I agree that lines like this...

I'd really enjoy seeing the dialogue in future adaptations match as closely as possible to the books. I hold these stories in such high esteem. I don't wish to see them become typical blockbusters geared toward the next, next generation. I'd rather all sorts of planning and funding be put into...

Copperfox, when I was going to a community college in my 20s, those of us pursuing an associate degree had to take a 1 credit hour 'capstone class.' Its alleged purpose was for students to demonstrate a proficient ability to write. There were a wide range of subjects offered, so that we could...

This summer I reread the Cosmic Trilogy. Of the names it has been given, that has become my favorite, followed by the Ransom Trilogy, and then the Space Trilogy. They are all good names. In some ways, Out of the Silent Planet is my favorite of the three. I love the way the whole mystery and...

I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it Benisse! How was it?! Did you go to the writers track or the readers track? How were the discussions? I would have loved the opportunity to have met you and participate in the conference. I'm not sure I would have registered on time or if they were going to...

Here are some pictures from Camp Allen. The deer came within 10 feet of us. https://photos.app.goo.gl/e8kaqNiVkr43s164A

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...
