I wonder If Harry G. Williams will make the music for this movie as well.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I think. I don’t see any reason at all for the Chief Dufflepud to say that anyway. . . I think it’s just a mistake. Or I hope it is! Anyway, sail on VDT!!!

As much as I hate to say it, the old school BBC versions of the Narnia movies are much better than the newer ones that they’ve come out with. The costumes were cheesy, the acting was so-so, and the visual effects were ludicrously simple. But they were actually true to the Narnia books. When I was growing up, they still captured the magic that the books contained.
The new movies are visually beautiful (mostly) but they get everything wrong. I’m not necessarily talking about small details like hair color (although that’s there too.) But when they practically write Aslan out of the first movie it upsets me. The children had one prophesy about them, Aslan had several. But somehow he became a subnote for the saving of Narnia, and the children became the focus.
Prince Caspian got virtually everything wrong about the plot of the movie, Caspian’s motivation, etc. And what they didn’t get wrong plotwise, had a completely different flavor than what the book portrayed.
For me, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is sacred. I can only hope that the low level graphics that we are seeing is simply a product of the still distant release date. But much more important to me is that they can get the story right, with all of the elements put into their proper context. I can forgive the preview for presenting the story as being disjointed; the novel itself is written with one chapter having little in common with previous ones. It’s hardly a continuous story. But if Aslan isn’t at the end of the movie telling the kids to learn his other name, I think I’ll rip somebody’s head off.
I don’t want to see still somebody else’s far fetched interpretation of how the books are meant to be taken. The way they are written is perfect for me.

Could the White Witch part be some vague reference to the Dark Island of Worst Nightmares?
I sure do hope they stay faithful to the book, still – there was no reference to Eustace’s adventure or the seven missing lords. :/

Not everyone’s opinion of the trailer is going to be "OMIGOSH!! IT’S SO FREAKING SHINY!!!" Get over it.

You do realize that having Peter and Susan in Narnia in VDT would make Aslan a liar?

Last time I checked we weren’t in a competition to see who could suck up to Fox/Walden the most.
