...no info on times and channels yet, but this has been confirmed.

The teaser will also "most likely" be attached to prints of SW III.

Or you could watch the jerky, sometimes out of focus illegitimate fan-taped version of the unfinished trailer posted here on AICN (which I normally loathe) but I'm such a Narnia geek that I just did.

Watch it here. It's sure to be taken down soon though, if I know Disney.

*dances*

[Party]

I can hardly wait!

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Oh man. It looks _so_ good.

This'll tide me over until December. [Cool]

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :

Not me. I'm already gnawing my fingers off. [Big Grin]

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

That one shot with the Mer-People leaping in front of Cair Paravel _alone_ gave me chills.

Trying to keep my expectations reasonable. Man, it's hard. [Smile]

Hey, it's LOtR meets A Series of Unfortunate Events!

Looks very pretty.

Jadis is HUGE!

That scene in what I assume is her palace where she grabs Edmund....*shiver*

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Annnnnd...it's gone. That was quick.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

It seems to be back, unless I'm not clearing my cache properly.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

The AICN link for the trailer leads to a page of gobbledygook for me now.

Oh well. The 7th isn't that far away...

*vibrates with pleasure*

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Hmmm. It is back. Must've been a momentary glitch, or a problem on my end.

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

Seems cool!
But you can tell Disney had their way with it. Those were some really overdone lines as well as the text up on the screen... very kiddish and melodramatic. Trying to get the Harry Potter crowd I guess.

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :

Nope, it's gone again now.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Disney had no involvement with the film except distribution and advertising.

Other that the warnings from the housekeeper Mrs MacReady, Peter counting down during "Hide and Seek" and one line from Susan "Impossible!"...there wasn't any dialogue in the teaser at all. And the text on the screen wasn't any more dramatic than the stuff the Beavers told the Pevensie kids in the LWW book about their destiny.

Lewis's style in CoN was an influence on Rowling's style in HP, remember. [Smile]

And remember...Lewis definitely _did_ write LWW for children. A faithful adaptation will have things that are aimed more at a "family" audience than the "Late Teens and Adults" LotR was aimed at.

AICN has removed the link from their front page. Must be gone for good.
