Hey, everybody! Just wondered if there are any Wizard of Oz fans here. I recently rented the Oz film from my local library. Hadn't seen it since I was a kid, and I fell in love with it all over again. What a fantastic movie!!! So magical, and the costumes and effects aren't dated at all -...

Hi again! You know, in the book The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, when Edmund enters the Witch's courtyard and sees all the statues, a dragon is among them. So one must assume that that dragon was one of the good guys. Yet, in later Narnia books, dragons are always evil - they're ASSUMED to...

I saw this some time back on PBS. And although the animation was a bit cheap and stiff, it was still quite successful as an adaptation, I believe. In fact, overall, I think it's more successful than the live-action movie. Lucy's trip from London to Narnia through the wardrobe was better done...

I recently rented LWW a few days ago, and watched it for the second time. I'd seen it at the movies and...rather liked it. But I was a bit shaken and dismayed by the differences between the book and the movie, and at the rather unclimactic scenes involving Lucy's passage from the wardrobe into...

I've just rented and rewatched LWW...and there was one thing about the film that galled me when I first saw it and galls me still: the portrayal of Father Christmas. In Lewis' book, he was "Huge and glad and real"...but in the film he was a shabby-looking ragpicker in a dirty rickety sleigh...

And how do I know that? Check out this snippet from Friday's USAToday article about Superbowl commercials - and I quote: *Most Replayed (Commercial) on DVRs: Walt Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian ws the most-replayed ad via DVR, with 4.1 million viewers.* That is a huge amount...

I think the series ended too soon. (And ended badly IMO). Narnia is so rich in imagery and ideas. Surely there are more stories to be told...At the very least there should be a story about Susan. I'll never forget the shock I felt when I read that she was "no longer a friend of Narnia". I even...

Reep is the character I'm most nervous about. I was here a long time ago angsting over Aslan and Lucy - turned out I was worried for naught - but I'm still a worrywart, and I do hope Reep turns out looking cool. And I do hope the movie producers remember that he's a mouse, not a rat. ;) I loved...

This should settle the "Kong" vs. "Lion" battle once and for all... From today's Variety online newspaper: *By opening a $13 million gap overseas over "King Kong," "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" has established its claim as the year's biggest box office...

I know I am. IMO it makes sense that others from our world besides the Pevensies and their cousin could have visited Narnia. After all, the Professor, in "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" told the Pevensies that they would be able to tell if other people they met had had similar adventures...

First of all, I'd like to retract my previous statement regarding the actress that's playing Lucy. She is absolutely adorable in the trailer, and it's clear she's quite a good little actress. Her reactions when she opens the wardrobe are delightful, natural, convincing. HER performance is one...

Susan and the Loss of Her Family/What Ever Happened to Susan When I first read "The Last Battle" I received a genuine shock when I learned that Susan was no longer a friend of Narnia. Apparently she'd gone materialistic and turned away from the rest of her siblings. Ever since then, I've...

I just saw a pic of the kid who's playing Lucy! OMG she's a dumpy little pug-nosed squat! I PROTEST! She's as bad as the Lucy in that awful PBS version - the one with the midget in the mouse suit impersonating Reepicheep! And I had such HIGH hopes for this...
