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.

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.

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.
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.
