It's amazing to me how Disney, in the past, has done everything in their power to foward their blatantly anti-Christian agenda, and yet now with the record-smashing success of [i]The Passion[/i], they're trying to backtrack tremendously. You don't fool me, Disney. I will not be going to see this film and I encourage you all to do the same.

[Borges]

Good luck. There's a massive fanbase here of Narnia fans looking forward to this.

[Bommer]

Sure Newbie, whatever you say!

Financial analysts said the boycott had no effect on Disney's bottom line. The Disney-Narnia campaign appears to acknowledge implicitly that the Disney boycott has been a failure.

When was the last time you read in the "legacy" media that a leftist boycott was a failure?

[wmichgrad]

Disney is not about being anti-Christian. Disney is about appealing to as many people as possible in order to rake in as much money as possible.

I will not be going to see this film and I encourage you all to do the same.

I'd encourage you to do what you like; I'll do what I like. I'll be seeing it, probably more than once. Want me to buy you a ticket?

Ah, chillout...Disney is a corporation...their motives are always about the bottom line (as indeed, they should be). As an investor, I'd be pretty ticked off if their motivations were not about profit.

Be happy they are making the movie. I loved the book, can't wait for the film.

a $100 million, live-action and computer-generated animated feature it is co-producing with Walden Media.

This could be great. Here's hoping.

I understand why people want to boycott Disney, but there's nothing wrong with rewarding them when they do the right thing. It can be part of a carrot and stick approach.

do i hear a ZOT?

And yet, they keep airing a cartoon with a cross-dressing effeminite male alien.

This is not Disney's "first" involvement with the religious community. After all, Walt himself created Mickey Mouse and his companion, Amanita Muscaria (aka Minnie Mouse), and a whole host of critters otherwise found in Sa'ami shamanism.

Then, there's Fantasia! Talk about delving into religion ~ whole bunch of the old time stuff in there Fur Shur.

I think this needs clarified to note that this is possibly Disney's "first" involvement with Christianity!

Welcome to Free Republic!

I for one adore CS Lewis, have all the Narnia books that I STILL read and while I don't often go to movies...this one I just might go to (or at least buy it later).

[Conan the Librarian]

I plan on seeing it at some point before we go back to Disney World for the third time this year. We hope to go again just before Christmas.

At Christmas they have a very moving reading of the Christmas Story (yes straight out of Luke and the place doesn't even catch on fire or anything) with a large mass choir singing Sacred Songs.

They also have an extreamly fun Christmas party in the Magic Kingdom. It snows on Main Street and is a blast!

[My Favorite Headache]

What's the weather like over at DU? Partly Insane with a 50% chance of histrionics?

[xjcsa]

Can't wait for the movie. Sorry, I don't take advice from newbies, even on movies.

I saw the trailer at the movies about a month ago, it looks great. First Lord of the Rings, now this. I'm looking forward to going and taking my kids too.

[I still care]

I am definately going to see this movie

a. because I want to
and
b. because Disney needs to be reminded of the massive segment of the population they have alienated.

The boycott didn't work? Hogwash. We aren't even in the stats anymore, they don't know we exist, so they don't know the business they have lost. The Passion was a kick in the face.

I live near Disneyworld. Everytime a family came to visit me, I always asked them about seeing Disney. More than half of them said they would rather go someplace else; they didn't want to give Disney the business. I know there are several movies I have not seen like Pearl Harbor. They've lost business, no doubt about it.

Also, whenever anyone asks me about Orlando, I always tell them not to come in May or June because of the gay stuff being shoved in your face. Not once has anyone said to me, Oh, that doesn't bother me. They all say, "Thanks for the heads up!"

[k2blader]

I'll be going to see the movie. The preview is stunning. :-)

[colorado tanker]

The trailer looks really good.

In the Narnia story, a lion named Aslan is a Christ-like figure who offers himself as a sacrifice to save another character. He is tortured and killed. Then later he is resurrected to transform Narnia into a heaven on Earth

Uh... do the words "SPOILER ALERT" mean anything to this writer?

True, everyone should have read the Chronicles... but not everyone has.
