Trailer Release Soon
Narnia Fans is reporting that we could see a trailer for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in about two weeks. Check out the article here for the full details.
As always, we will be sure to post the trailer along with a full set of screen-caps and the transcript.
This may also mean that the trailer will premiere in front of Toy Story 3 as that’s the most appropriate movie set to release in two weeks. Can’t wait. Sail on Dawn Treader!
UPDATE: Kristi at The Lion’s Call reports that Walden has confirmed the trailer will premiere in front of Toy Story 3!
Awesome! I could see it being in front of Toy Story, since it's targeted toward a similar audience. Plus Toy Story will be (I assume) very popular, meaning better advertising.
um, yeah, right! toy story and narnia REALLY don't have ANYTHING in common, besides, the majority of toy story's fans will be six-year-olds, while voyage of the dawn treader's will be mostly SIXTH GRADE and up.
Well, many of the first two Toy Story films' fans may have been six years old when they were released over ten years ago. Now they're a bit older; I'd say a trailer in front of Toy Story 3 would be an excellent strategy.
so you're saying, AJAiken, that all of the Toy Story 3 fans are gonna be 16-year-olds????
Disagree completely. I don't think you properly understand Pixar's target audience. The fact is that people of all ages will go see Toy Story 3, not just six year olds.
i NEVER said only six-year-olds were going to go see Toy Story 3, narnianlover101. i simply said most of it's fans are going to be children, while VDT's fans will not only be children but also teens and pre-teens.
You're right, you didn't say they all were ALL six year olds; I apologize. I still disagree, however, because the majority of Pixar fans aren't children.
well you see,
while many toy story three fans will be young what about the parents and older siblings taking them there?
plus some older kids do like those movies you know.
I honestly can't think of a single film this year that would be a better choice to put a Dawn Treader trailer. The fact is that all pixar films are family films, not just kid films. Dawn Treader is also a family film, and the demographics between the films are almost identical, with Dawn Treader PERHAPS being skewed to a slightly older audience.
I couldn't disagree more. You obviously don't understand the people who make up Pixar's fanbase: artsy moviegoers, animators, adults, and of course, children. If you haven't noticed, Pixar's last movie, Up, was targeted more to adults than kiddies. And it was a huge success.
Yeah, Pixar is huge. A lot more people going to see their movies than just little kids.
thanks narnianlover101. No, not all pixar fans are little children. I may not be a fan of toy story, but i do think pixar is the best animation film company. Oh my gosh, how did a conversation about a VDT trailer turn into a a argument about what age-group toy story will apeal to the most?? lol
LOL!
My point was not that the plots were the same. It's merely a marketing strategy; Pixar movies are targeted to a huge audience range, which means VDT will be advertised to a lot of people.
Personally, I would be really exited to see the VDT in front of Toy Story 3. First of all, Toy Story 3 will probably be one of the most watched movies this summer and therefore the maximum amount of audience will see the trailer. Second of all, we are forgetting one thing about supposed "kid movies": parents must attend with there kids. What does that mean? A lot of adults will see the trailer for VDT whether or not Toy Story 3 is a "kid movie" – an entirely different debate which I will not get into.
hey Watziznehm, you just got yourself into that debate that you said you wouldn't get into by replying to these comments!!!!
For your information, I was stating that their debate wasn't needed. Whether or not Toy Story 3 is a "kids" movie there will be a lot of grown-ups at the movie. Therefore, their debate is not needed.
when you don't think a debate is needed, you don't respond to it!! if you reply to something a bunch of people are saying, you can't expect to not be drawn into whatever the discussion is!!!!
This will make or break my expectations for the movie… fingers crossed!
Glad it's in two weeks!! Will be counting down for sure! On internet or in front of a movie in theaters?
I can it being in front of Toy Story 3 but I don't get why Disney would to that after dropping the Narnia films in the first place… I really hope this first teaser shows the world that Narnia is back to conquer the box office!
If it does release with Toy Story 3, it won't be because it's attached by Disney. Simply 3D trailers usually show in front of 3D movies despite what company it belongs to.
YES!!! I love that, "Conquer the box offices."
CONQUER THE BOX OFFICES, DAWN TREADER!!!
couldn't agree more
YES!! Come ooooon Dawn Treader!
"We eagerly await thy coming, oh most noble of ships. Thy beauty hath been transcribed upon our hearts for years. Fail us not."
Ha ha! That's exactly what I'm thinking! But I wasn't brave enough to post it…
thats beautiful!
Why is that front page news _again_ , when we already had the approximate 2 weeks ago ๐ ?
Because that was basically a guess; this is more of an official announcement. ๐
I knew it. I thought as much after the prediction that it would be finished around June 11th. Giving them time to put together and distribute or release it puts the 18th as a fair guess.
OOH! Double excitement for the 18th!!!!
(btw, love your name! glad you are bold in putting "ChristProclaimer" as a screen name! mine requires a teeny bit of research: "Ariel" means "lion(ess) of God" and I only use that name because the meaning is sweet and because it really fits with Narnia! lol I've wished it was my real name for years…. lol)
FINALLY!
Wait, 2 weeks. CRAP! Ill be out of the country!!! NOOO!!!!
The trailer will probably be on vid;eo sites and Narnia.com when it comes out, so don't worry.
Never thought about narnia.com! Forget about my idea to try to see if a friend wanted to go to Toy Story 3 (yes, just for the sake of the trailer!). I'm gonna chill at home and watch it as many times as I want… heehee.
It's nice to have a fairly reliable and more definite time to look forward to. Sail on VDT! ๐
let the countdown begin!!!! oh i cant wait!!!!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I love exclamation points :P)
Yes! Yes! Yes! I can't wait for Toy Story 3 now!
I LOVE Toy Story too!
YESSS!
i could have guessed this. but i'm still going to take it with a grain of salt. don't want to get my hopes up.
I HAVE ONE WORD: A-W-E-S-O-M-E……!!!! <3
or do you mean "7 letters?" ;P
YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!! Oh yeah! I feel a little dance comin along! I am DYING for the trailer. That sounds kinda weird, "DYING" for the trailer. Now I feel stupid. I think this Narnia stuff is kind of becoming an idol for me. Not an idol that I worship, but I mean, I'm kind of more excited about it than God. Sad face ๐ This stinks! NOT the trailer thing; that's awesome!!! But the whole "not putting God first" thing. Sorry, I kinda got off the point… Anyways, I can't wait for the movie!!!!
That's always a serious danger with this fandom stuff.
oh, you're probably just excited. I'm sure God is still number one, you're just too jazzed about the trailer to realize that. Anyone would be. In any fandom. As long as you're aware of it, don't let the guilt eat at you.
Maybe you should practice having a couple "Narnia-free" days before the trailer comes. That might help you remember that it's only a movie, and life will go on with or without it.
Still, I'm pretty excited too. I'm just keeping it hidden. (WWWOOOOOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!) Whoops, let it out! ๐
That's an excellent idea, Starlily! Also, maybe you could find some quiet time to pray and ask God to help you order your desires properly. I agree– it can get tough, but you can also find God in Narnia. ๐
Hopefully this trailer will satisfy much of our curiosity about all of the questions we have. I can't wait!
Hey, sweet! This is the second one of these "mini-discussions" on NarniaWeb!
I admit that within the last ten minutes, I've been really excited. (Don't get me wrong; I still am!) but now I'm sobering down. I think one of the reasons why it's so easy to idolize or fan-freak over something like this is because it's something we can /see/ it. We can't see God, but we know He's there. But we often forget that. Have any idea how chagrined I am everytime I come to and I realize what I've just done? Heh-heh, yeah, let's not go there!
So thanks to all of you who have helped remind me that there's a Real Person who is the inspiration behind my favourite character in fiction ever and that it's for the Real Person that I should be living for!
May the Real Lion be with us!
Hmm. It'll probably actually cause even MORE questions, rather than answer them!! O my goodness!!! I am excited beyond belief! And the 18th is my birthday!!!! It would be so neat if the trailer came out on that day! ๐
well its about time i'm going to see toy story 3 – i am 15 – how sad lol – but i've seen and LOVED the first two so why not go see this one lol and if VDT is there I will be even more thrilled BRING IT ON!
Man, I'm 20 and I can't wait to see it! I grew up with Toy Story!
I'm with FriendOfNarnia2! I'm 17 and I couldn't be more excited for Toy Story 3. I'm not ashamed of it in the least, either. ๐
Hey! I'm 17, too! ๐ Alright, if anyone goes to see Toy Story 3, let us Narnia Fans know! I think I would maybe go just to see the trailer on the silver screen! ๐ (I mean, I like Toy Story, as well!) Sail on, Dawn Treader!
I'm 16 and the Toy Story movies are my favorite PIXAR movies and I am so happy baout Toy Story 3! I hope the VotDT trailer is in front of it! yay! I can't wait for the trailer! yay! yay! awesome awesome awesome!
Yipee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking it would be months more before it came out!!! Maybe I can talk my family into seeing toy Story 3…
P.S. I'm 23 and wouldn't mind seeing Toy Story 8-D
I've always thought it would come out with Toy Story. This will be perfect! Toy Story 3 is already selling out showings which is basically unheard of for any film this far from the release date. This movie is going to be HUGE! This can't do anything but help Voyage of the Dawn Treader!
Agreed!
Yea, I heard that the Narnia trailer is going to appear before the next Toy Story movie.
Since Toy Story is in 3D, they'll show 3D trailers like Narnia.
Nathan, shut up already, wont you? You haven't any idea what you're talking about. first you say, "Yeah, yeah, it came out with the new shrek movie" then you're like, no no no it didn't. Now you're all saying, "I knew it would come with toy story." You just like attention. Get over yourself. Sail on VDT! (waves).
Thank you Lucy, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Okay, that's enough. Nathan's gotten enough flack, thanks. It's easy to make a mistake with all the rumours floating around. If you want to correct, please do it kindly and respectfully.
this nathan guy is seriously acting like a jerk. No one knows what movie the trailer will come out with until it actually comes out with one!!! Settle down, everybody!!
You're giving him the attention he wants…
Look,
maybe Nathan is being a jerk. OR maybe the first time he was playing with us or made an honest mistake. You don't know, so please LAY OFF.
So maybe someone posted an innocent assumption up on here and turned out to be wrong, but what right does that give you to start to lash at them? What if /you/ were the one who posted the apparently incorrect assumption and then got all these negative comments flung back at your face? "Jerk" is another way of calling someone a fool: something for which Christ will judge you for. I'm not trying to be harsh or "breathe brimstone down your neck", just giving food for thought.
And as a moderator, I'm telling you to cut it out. You may not like the guy, but the name-calling and telling people to shut up stops NOW.
Like i said earlier, "Settle DOWN!!!!" everybody is making too big of a deal out of this!!! Ariel of Narnia, no food for thought, please. I can't believe you guys all have time to respond to these remarks if you all think it is so stupid. I must admit, nathan, i am sorry if i (or anyone else) offended you.
My mom always says, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." ๐ I feel for you, Nathan.
I believe we were all just upset because he claimed to have actually seen the trailer himself before Shrek, then he posted another comment elsewhere claiming it was coming out before I can't remember what movie, so I suppose we were only assuming he was purposely trying to mess with our heads. I'm apologize if any of you got offended, it was just a bit irritating.
thank you, high queen of lantern waste. Looks like you were the only one who stayed cool through all of this.
Hey hey Lucy lets calm down now we are all Narnia lovers here lets try to be nice alright there is a lot of rumors out there. SAIL ON VDT
I agree with you, Peter the Magnificent. Everybody is just excited about when the trailer will come out and everybody wants to be the first ones to find out which movie it will premiere with. I know i thought nathan was acting like a jerk, but we don't know if he was really messing with us or just wondering when the trailer will be first shown, so y'all didn't have to go around chirping about how we will be judged when everyone had some fault in this.
I apologize to all of you. I should not have written what I said or at least not in the way I said it. I have a hard time putting my thoughts into the proper words and my intentions are not always clear. Not only that, but I am afraid that I may have brought my Lord into this in a less-than-ideal fashion. I ask you all for your forgiveness.
terebinthiangirl, thank you for helping me realize my mistake. I may have misunderstood your first comment (not only do I have a hard time expressing myself properly, but I often mistake what someone else says) and thus reacted far less ideally than desired. As part of my reply was directed toward you, I especially ask forgiveness from you. Shall we – as Digory put it – "call it Pax"?
Don't be so hard on yourself Ariel, it's all right. ๐
Thanks, HighQueen_of_LanternWaste.
u guys r so mean. he IS right. XP XP thanks 4 the info.
I*
Two weeks! What movie will it be with? I'm excited and happy!

I read this in my sixth period and jumped for joy in the middle of my class! I'm very excited, my expectations are high.
haha that must have been so funny. i would probably squeal real loud and have everyone look at me if i saw it in class
Ha yeah I recieved a few stares ๐
Excited sqeak: "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!" ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Just don't forget that not every showing of Toy Story will come with the trailer. You need to call your theater and ask first. That way you can make sure you attend a showing with the trailer.
Yes yes yes! That's so cool! That means I can see the trailer before I leave for Cedar Point on the 21st! Very nice indeed. Ekk! *gets chills*
YAY!! I can't wait. I wasn't really planning on going to see Toy Story 3, but now I just might. Maybe I'll get luck and see the trailer. *crosses fingers*
i know, right? if the trailer does end up coming out with toy story, maybe i will go see it!!! hey, but they WILL post it on here when it comes out.
i gasped and nearly choked myself when i saw the update! i am literally shaking right now. o my goodness i've never been so shook up with excitement before…..eeehhhh! i cant contain myself ๐
๐ Yeay! I'm so super excited. ๐
AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's great)))))))))))))))))))

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!! The next two weeks will be going by very slowly for me!!!
I canยดt wait! The magic will show its first signs of life! I feel like a kid again like waiting for the Star Wars and The Lord Of The Rings trailers back in the days! Bring it on sailors!
Very interested to see how this is going to be marketed…
Yes!!!!!!!

Esoy muy emocionada!!!
YYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for this from day one! lol
FFFFFFIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNAAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to see the Trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you know it will be with Toy Story? Or if the trailer will be 3d. What else comes out in 2 weeks? Whatever movie it's with I'll be there to see it on the giant screen.
We don't know that it will be in front of Toy Story 3. Tis only an educated guess – albeit a good one … but still a guess.
A very logical assumption and nobody knows that it won't be before Toy Story 3 either. But we will know for sure in 2 weeks. ๐
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *starts dancing a jig*
Oh man!!
I really am excited now!!
Toy Story 3?! ๐ ๐
This is really some absolutely great news for me,
not just because it's THE DAWN TREADER MOVIE TRAILER,
but because I am also a huge Tom Hanks fan, so it'll be double (or triple) awesome to see Toy Story 3!
I might go opening day, now! ๐
Ha ha.
I. Am calm I am calm…….AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJJHJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OK it's all out now wait wait now I'm dancing
*giggle* ๐
Haha yeah I danced for like 5 minutes lol
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! That's exciting!!!!!!!! ๐ Trailers are always cool!
YEESSS!
AAAGH, I can't wait. I'm soo excited ๐ ๐
I must be the only person that's disappointed by this, not because it coming out in two weeks isn't awesome, but because I loaded Nweb just now hoping to FIND the trailer on the front page.. and now, 2 more weeks. ๐
I heard that the trailer is going to be released online before it shows up in the theatres.
Where exactly are you "hearing" all this, Nathan? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Link please?
Oh, hello nathan…here to tell us some more news???
OK, really now Nathan. Really, this is like the third time c'mon now tell the truth. If so where is the link?
why r u guys being so mean to nathan?? he's just trying to help. He has been right be4. "Thanks nathan 4 the heads up!" as they say. ๐
Bahahaha and now he's right!
thanks for your "insight", nathan, but i don't think you or any of us should post when the trailer is going to come out. Unless we know for sure and have solid proof. You've had a few goof-ups before dude, and i don't think people are gonna take you and what you're saying seriously.
