The casting looks brilliant. Lucy looks WONDERFUL.

And Jadis looks simply disturbing, exactly as she should.

I can't wait.

Jadis looks like an evil angel. Appropriate for a woman who on her father's side comes from a race of corrupt sorcerers of giantish blood, and had Lilith the mother of demons for her own mother!

The kids look like they can act! Lucy in particular seems perfect.

Aslan looks AMAZING.

Mr. Tumnus!

Mer-People leaping in front of Cair Paravel!

Peter leading a whole ARMY of centaurs in a charge!

I cannot _believe_ there are people over at another site saying they wish this resembled the BBC version. o_o;

I should warn you, I watched the ABC version of the trailer (EST time zone.)

It's MUCH shorter than the version online.

Still cool!

Kinda wish they included the "Movie Surfer" clips of Tumnus playing his pipes, Edmund meeting the Witch, and the ASTOUNDING animatronic Aslan they made for the "Stone Table" scene.

I caught part of it while I was at work.

I had the most horrible shift EVER earlier, and I was ready to just walk off the line (I work at a restaurant in the kitchen) and say screw it, I was so pissed.

But then I glance over at the big screen TV (it's a sports bar/restaurant) and I saw the trailer come on for TLTWATW, and I had a smile plastered on my face for the rest of the night.

It's really looking good.

One really good thing about the high res version of the trailer is that it solves several concerns I had after watching the unfinished bootleg version.

For instance, I know now that the mysterious "horse riders" are centaurs (dur-hey! It's Narnia!), and that a lot of the foggy, fast-moving blurs are Talking Beasts running lickety-split. [Big Grin]

I can't stop watching this thing.

I will say that I love how they're going for a very "Faerie Tale" look, judging by the teaser. Bright, clean colors. Stylized designs.

Those who pre-claimed this would be "Too LotR" looking seem to be off.

And yet, it looks darker, grander, and more meaningful than the norm.

Hmm, perhaps I should read the book. I'm sorry to say before this movie I've never heard of this series.

GASP!

Yes, you *really* need to go read the books. Preferably before you see the movie.

I'm so excited! I've watched the trailer at least ten times, and gone through it slow-mo and everything. *squeal*

Read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" first, definitely.

Harper Collins may feel putting "The Magician's Nephew" first is more correct as it's the back-story to the entire Chronicles, but I feel it spoils some secrets better discovered later.

Beautiful as it is. It's still a great book. [Smile]

I disagree. I was introduced to the books in chronological order (back when I was a very little kid) and I have always read them in that order since. I still think it's the best order to read them in.

I'm close to actually reading the books, the only problem is I'm not really a fan of fantasy novels.

Don't think of them as fantasy novels. That is much too limiting to the works of genius that they are.

They aren't "Sword and Sorcery" type fantasy is that's what you mean by "fantasy".

The Narnia books are a mix of Beatrix Potter, Hans Christian Anderson, Edith Nesbit, Greco-Roman Nature Myth, the New Testament, and Lewis' own fertile imagination.

Do you like good faerie tales?

If so, there's a good chance you'll like the Chronicles of Narnia.

Each of the books are fairly short, and a relatively quick read.

*bump*

This trailer went online while I was out of the country, so I just now saw it. I can only add my three cheers. It actually made me cry, it just looks like it will be a really powerful movie. That glimpse of the stone table scene was awesome. I cannot wait!!

Didn't Jadis look EVIL in that scene?

I saw it before Episode III yesterday. There was a lot of detail I had missed even in the high definition online version.

I could actually make out Mr. and Mrs. Beaver as being more than waddling spots, for one thing. [Wink]

We saw it before episode 3 on Friday. ElJay was... "agape" is the word for it, I think. This is probably the first book(s) that all three of us siblings read, so kinda nifty. Not counting the books that were read TO us, of course.
