Its financed by a Born-Again Christian Billionaire. It will be interesting to see if the subtle 'Aslan as Christ-figure' will be put forth as it was in the book.

Three generations of my family have loved these books, and we will all of us be going to see it together. 9 people. We are going out to dinner before and will make it our holiday event (Narnia, not Potter).
I don't object to Harry Potter, but I much prefer the Narnia books.

That's what lunch-breaks are for!
We rarely go to the movies, but if we do, it's usually at some guaranteed slow time, like a 1pm show on a Tuesday or something.
Trailers look great, movie looks great, same visual effects team as the Lord of the Rings series - I think it'll knock Hollywood on it's butt. They won't learn that wholesome, classic good vs. evil family entertainment is what sells. Not their leftist garbage.

The way he talks and moves screams "Three Dollar Bill" to me.

I think it will. In the stone table scene at least it will.

If they are inane tripe, then why do so many people love them?
I'm not talking about stupid people. I'm talking about people with high IQs including my family.

That's too bad considering the books are inane tripe. Wow, breaking news on the literary fore front. And how, pray tell, did these books get such a rating, and what do YOU prefer as a childrens series.

No sh-t. I was convinced that it was a documentary.
Nevertheless, not a strong role model for a young boy.

The books are wonderful. Lewis was a master and shows what potential the most diligent atheist has when they stop denying themselves by denying God.

I suppose some have to have everything spelled out for them to enjoy something. I think Harry Potter is great but I absolutely loved Narnia especially "The Voyage of Dawn Treader". I remember when I was asked as a child in school who my favorite author was and I said C.S. Lewis I got a strange look from the teacher. Later I discovered Lewis's other wonderful books. An especially good one is a "Grief Observed" amd "The Screwtape Letters" is a good gift for any friend especially a liberal one (though they are likely not to get it).

Not inane tripe at all. They are very well crafted books.

I read them when I was but a small thing, back in the day, and found myself rooting for the witch.
I also wanted all those namby-pamby kids to get eaten by the lion. When it became evident that Aslan would let me down in that regard, I was cheesed.

Who let Eustace in here?
The Narnia books are certainly better for kids than a lot of so-called "Young Adult" literature today. Aslan looks terrific, BTW.
