‘The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’ Trailer is Here!
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for since Prince Caspian came out — the unveiling of the first trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader! This film has had a tough journey from the book to the screen; for a while we didn’t even know if it would be made. The voyage isn’t over, but at long last the trailer has arrived in all its glory to tantalize Narnia fans around the world.

Opening shot in Cambridge with recruitment posters
Recruitment Officer: Are you sure you’re 18?
Edmund: Why, do I look older?
Lucy: Edmund, you’re supposed to be helping me with the groceries.
Other boys in line: [laughter] Good luck next time eh squirt?
Outside of the recruitment building Edmund and Lucy load up their groceries on a bicycle
Edmund: Squirt! I’m a king.
Lucy: Not in this world.

In the Scrubb household, Edmund and Lucy study a painting of an ocean with a tiny ship sailing on it
Edmund: Lucy, have you seen this ship before
A closeup of the painting and the waves are starting to roll and on one side a tiny trickle of water forms
Lucy: It’s very Narnian looking isn’t it?
In the same bedroom, all of a sudden the painting starts gushing water into the room and Edmund, Lucy and Eustace look dumbfounded
Eustace: What’s going on here?
Lucy: Edmund the painting!
Eustace yells and pulls it off the wall. Edmund and Lucy try to help, but water is rapidly filling the bedroom. Lucy screams and falls and suddenly the room is completely underwater with furniture floating around. They swim upwards towards the surface and just as they reach it and gasp for air Lucy turns and sees the Dawn Treader sailing towards them.
Lucy: Edmund!
Caspian and Lucy are hoisted out of the water onto the ship. Lucy, now in Narnian clothes looks into a mirror and sees her reflection and Aslan looking back at her.
Lucy: Aslan.
Aslan: Welcome. You have come far, but your journey lies beyond.
A shot of the Dawn Treader sailing away from an island at sunset. A shot of a minotaur on board as well as a couple crew members in the background. A shot of Lucy and Edmund standing on deck wrapped in blankets.
Lucy: Reepicheep!
Reepicheep bows.
Reepicheep: Your majesties!
A shot of a mermaid swimming in the water next to the ship. She waves and Lucy waves back.
Edmund: So if there are no wars to fight, then why are we here?
Caspian walks through a door followed by Edmund and someone else. Edmund looks through a spyglass. A shot of an island surrounded by fog. A shot of Coriakin magically throwing a map across the floor.
Coriakin: You are all about to be tested.
A shot of Eustace peeking through something. Smoking tendrils surround the ship and head towards the crew members. One in particular heads towards Edmund.
White Witch: Edmund, I can make you my king.
A vision of the White Witch
White Witch: And much more.
Lucy blows across the cover of the Magician’s Book and the letters on the front of it arrange into The Book of Incantations. She opens it. She sees a reflection of herself on one page and then begins to transform into Susan.
Lucy: I’m beautiful.
Lucy hears a lion roar and jumps away from the book as pages quickly turn away from the page. Next shot is Lucy standing in the Magician’s room as snow is falling all around her. She gazes up in wonder.
Coriakin: You have an extraordinary destiny.
Reepicheep quickly climbs up the mast of the Dawn Treader where he reaches the crow’s nest and looks out smiling.
Coriakin: Something greater than you could have imagined.
Narrator: From C. S. Lewis’ epic masterpiece…
Shot of the crew aboard the Dawn Treader with Drinian at the helm. Shot of what is likely Narrowhaven. Shot of Lilliandil glowing beautifully.
Lilliandil: The fate of Narnia depends on you.
Narrator: This Christmas…
Edmund holds Rhindon in his hand. It’s glowing blue. Lilliandil turns back into a star and shoots into the heavens while Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy look on.
Narrator: Return to Hope
Shot of a faun doing a flip in Narrowhaven and kicking someone. Shot of Lucy aboard the Dawn Treader about to fire an arrow.
Narrator: Return to Magic
In the magician’s study, suddenly where he was once invisible, Coriakin turns around with a book in his hand. Shot changes to the Dufflepuds bouncing around on one foot with Eustace standing in the middle of them looking dumbfounded.
Chief Dufflepud: This place just gets weirder and weirder.
Narrator: Return to Narnia
Shot of Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace, and Reepicheep paddling a rowboat through the sea of lilies. Shot of Aslan standing on dry ground next to Caspian, Edmund, Eustace, Lucy, and Reepicheep while holding back a wave.
Aslan: You have returned for a reason. Your adventure begins now.
Shot of Peter. Shot of Susan. Shot of Lucy. Shot of Edmund. Aslan standing on the shore roars.
End credits. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader form out of spiked rocks and then turn into the well known logo with the Dawn treader seen sailing in the background between snowy mountains. Christmas. 3D.
Narrator: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Directed by Michael Apted. This December in Digital 3D.
Don't worry, the seven lords will be in it. They are in the cast list.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!! I love how Edmund tries to enlist and it doesn't work. I don't like how they try to present him like Peter in PC. I don't like Peter, never have, and have always loved Edmund so PC was such a victorious slap in the face to my Peter loving friends. This whole "I wasn't always a kid" thing from Ed was annoying. Painting scene isn't how I pictured it, but it could be interpreted that way. Love Coriaken's house. It's even better than I pictured it. I ABSOLUTELY POSITUTLY WITH-OUT-A-DOUBT LOVE the White Witch's scene. It's brilliant, particularily if it is on Dark Island. I don't like how they morph Lucy into Susan. love the snow scene. Love the star. Love the sword glowing blue. Like everything else.
About this whole "The movies are growing darker and more serious!" thing. I kind of like it. I know this is troublesome and scary for some. For me however, these movies coincide with my taste. I was kind of young when LWW came out, and it was perfect. PC, just enough brutality, drama, romance, and above all, Sprituality, for my age. I can tell VDT is going to be perfect.
One of my favorite scenes in the book is the spell "for the refreshment of the spirit". It is really a story about "a Cup, a Sword, a Tree and a Hill". Achingly beautiful, but how to do it on screen? I wonder, therefore, if the scene with the snow in Coriakin's library is actually part of the refreshment spell, meant to revive Lucy's memory of her first arrival in Narnia, in a way that works cinematically.
Oh, yeah, Caspian has a beard!!!(or mustache. I forget)
I noticed Asland looked weird where he appeared halfway through the trailer, but he looks a lot better at the end of the trailer.
I think the trailer is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Only disappointments: Nothing about "Dragon Eustace"; Caspian had no lines(wanted to hear the accent); Aslan looked a bit different; and I don't get Peter and Susan being in it…Thought that didn't happen till the Last Battle, and Susan isn't in that one…hmm.
LOVED: "Why, Do I look older?"(fav. line so far);Reep's voice doesn't sound tooo different; White Witch testing Edmund; the resemblance btwn Lucy and Susan and Edmund and Peter…It makes sense since they're siblings:); and Everyone looks sooo grown up!
I am beyond excited and remaining cautiously optomistic about my worries:) Thank you God for letting us see the beginning of a story that was written for your glory!!!!
ASLAN IS BACK!
Exactly what I thought.
Well actually the White Witch doesnt test edmund.. She's dead.. It's just edmund's worst nightmare, that turning him against himself…
It looks absolutely amazing! Can't wait!
Wow! That was great! I watched it as soon as I got up this morning! The only thing that is driving me crazy is the White witch! I think the kids look great! I want to see it sooooo bad! I can hardly wait till midnight of Dec. 10!
It looks like they are trying to go to the book more on this one. I love the scene where they join the Dawn Treader. Eustace is perfect. Just how I imagined him when I was reading the book! A little chubby and blond! I think that Lucy is looking great. 🙂 She keeps that sweet face that Lucy was supposed to have. Looks like they nailed the Dufflepuds too. Happy about that! I think the scene I am looking forward to the most in the one with the Magicians book. That has so much potential! I am looking forward to Deathwater island too!
Just can't wait for the whole thing!
Feeling rather optimistic at this point. 🙂
This film looks like it's going to be a good one! It really gives you a feel of adventure, which is should.
I'm surprised at how much they've kept from the book!
Some things are… confusing? but not really concerning at this time:
White Witch I assume will be something like Dark Island. You can see they have their lanterns lit around the ship.
Peter & Susan??? What? They are in Narnian clothes and in what looks like Narnia??? What's concerning is that it appears Lucy is wearing her clothes that she wore during the rest of the trailer. So, what's up with that? A dream sequence maybe? I don't know if it could be considered a flashback if Lucy's in Caspian's clothes.
Good thing is, through the rest of the trailer, it's just Lucy and Edmund with Eustace. I seriously don't know where Peter and Susan could come in at in this film.
Ramandu's daughter looks kind of weird all blue like that. And why does she fly into the air? I think I recall one Narniaweb story saying they following the "blue star". So maybe they meet her early on and follow her to Ramandu's Island? That's probably where that scene in the trailer is from.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Ramandu himself will not be in the film at all. I don't know why they'd want to cut him out though.
Why is Edmund's sword glowing blue? Personally I think their trying to copy more Lord of the Rings, it reminds me of Frodo's sword. Maybe it's part of the Dark Island? The skies behind him were dark and menacing.
Ramandu's Daughter says, "The fate of Narnia depends on you." Why? what's up with that? I'm guessing it has to do with the added storyline with the seven swords?
These are all just curiosities. At this time, I'm not going to worry, because I have a feeling that any changes to the story won't make a HUGE impact on how I will like this film.
Again, I'm thrilled to see the trailer! And it looks like they're going is a good direction with this.
Oh, it looks absolutely GORGEOUS!! 😀 The visuals are simply stunning! I love it!
In the scripting that was added below the trailer, it was typed that the Chief Dufflepud says: "This place just gets weirder and weirder." However, I think it's much more likely that Eustace is the one saying that line.
Opinions? Did I miss seeing the Cheif talk?
oops *Chief* lol
As much as I want the story to stick to the book, I would not be too upset if they did go to Narnia for a short time. I think it would be great. 🙂
I was confused about Ramandu's daughter too.
I think it looks AMAZING!!! I wasn't too sure about how they did the lilly scene at first..but when i look at it again it looks incredible!. So Excited..When King Caspian comes through the double doors..WOW! 😀
Oh, and I am sooooooooooo excited about 3D!!!!
I thought it felt the same way, more Harry Potter-ish this time
*SCREAMS*
*SCREAMS LOUDER*
I think the graphics and visuals for the trailer look great! I would have liked to see them showing Eustace as the dragon though. And i hope they don't make it too much different from the book. I do not understand why the White Witch is there. And it looked like Peter and Susan were in Narnia?! I am excited to see how this will all fit together! I would have liked to hear what Capian's voice would sound like. But overal I am very excited and cannot wait to see the movie!!
wow! I like it very much! Lucy is charming as always 🙂 and the scene with the lilies in!…. I'm hopefully optimistic about the movie and looking forward to it coming out. Wonder if this is the only trailer we'll see? haha It's great!
This trailer was awesome! I really like the shot near the end of the trailer when Lucy is walking towards the camera. Can't wait for the movie! 🙂
Thank God for the trailer,I'm very very happy to see its finally here! =)
Me too, he looks diferents there, but at the end he looks better.
When Eustace goes to pull the painting off the wall, does Edmund yell "Don't Eustace, No!".
My ears, people. Like I don't dig loud noises, man.
🙂
I know, it's exciting. Just please, stop shouting.
Yeah, I think you're right. Prob. just a misprint.
HAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is gael????????
No puedo creer q este viendo el trailer de narnia, esta demaciado bien!!!!! viva narnia
Gael is the MLG (Mysterious little girl). Some think that she may be Drinian's or Rhince's daughter. I don't think anyone knows yet. She appeared in some of the footage that was taken by the Narnia Webbers. She does not appear in the book and I think that there is still a good deal of speculation over her.
One thing I'm really glad about is it looks like they've changed things from the book. Voyage is a great book, but its format would make a terribly boring movie. It needs to be changed to work on the big screen and it looks like they've made some improvisations and I approve.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS! IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME! yay! awesome! awesome!
This is really really great! I really don't think the White Witch thing is a big deal. From the looks of it, it will be a quick 30 second appearance, I mean how much time can they spend on a nightmare of the White Witch returning. It's called The Voyage of the DAWN TREADER, not the lion THE WITCH, and the wardrobe! 🙂
this trailer is terrible! i was so disappointed when i first saw it. i thought it would be more like the trailers for the previous movies. they better come out with a better trailer.
it sounded a little bit fake and a lot less exciting.
there's no metion of eustance turning into a dragon or the 7 lords.
aslan seems different and a lot less important.
i hope the new director hasn't ruined the movie.
*whispers "hooray" excitedly*
SWEET!!! I'm still really excited to see this movie, but to be honest this trailer was a let down.
Aslan seemed weird/cheap (like the BBC Aslan). Especially Aslan’s eyes. I loved his eyes…they were always something special about them, but now it seems like there’s nothing special or charming about them.
The actors were not as believable (their acting came off as cheesy and disconnected…..I know they can do better than that)
Obviously what was with Jardis, Peter, and Susan???
What was the point? The trailer didn’t seem to have any focus. It seemed too ambiguous and random. Plus, where was the dragon??? I really hope they didn’t take those scenes out!!!
The first image of the ship looks really cheesy…like an amusement park ride. The top view of the ship looks better, but on the sides, it looks like plastic.
“The fate of Narnia depends on you.” WHAT??????
I can tell the general quality of the film doesn’t look too great…
I like the Lucy and book scene.
Edmund with the blue sword is just too much like “sting” and it looks fake and plastic
The dialogue seems cheesy, too =(
I hope the movie will be different from the trailer. Obviously since this is just the trailer, I may end up loving the movie after all. But this trailer doesn’t seem all that great (besides the music). But it does seem like they’re trying to follow the book….trying lol (maybe not fully succeeding).
i aggree with everything you said. this trailer does not seem to be going anywhere!
@ emijoy
I know, right. And yeah, you're right. They didn't even mention the 7 lords…..that's like a major plot line.
It looks great!!! I love it and can't wait to see more! Although… I would have liked to see Eustace swinging Reep around by his tail :)!
WOW… WOW… I can say nothing else! The trailer is SPECTACULAR!! It's better than I ever hoped! Everyone and everything looks great! Oh my goodness, this just gets better and better!!
What do you mean the seven swords? I think that the whole Peter and Susan thing is to show how far Edmund and Lucy have come in VDT and that they are now just like Peter and Susan were at the end of Prince Caspian, so therefore they cannot come back. I could be wrong, its just a thought.
yup Edmund says it 🙂 does anyone know :what movie would the Prince Caspian trailer be on?
When you have a careful look at the setting of the scene where the four Pevensies appear, you won't get worried about Susan and Peter's appearing at the end of the film.
When I first saw the trailer I Thought "OMGSH!!!! This Movie WILL Be the best one of the YEAR!!!" *going to watch it again for the 20th time!*
I totally agree with you! The CG effects were so cheesy and the part with Liliandel turning into "the blue star" felt very much like Super Mario Galaxy. And I don't think anyone who saw this trailer would say "oh, that looks like a good movie!" I think they'd be more inclined to laugh and say "they're making ANOTHER one?"
It doesn't feel good to criticize a Narnia movie trailer, especially VDT, but this trailer has me more worried than excited. Maybe Disney would have done a better job….
Guys, about the 'no mention of the Seven Swords.' I don't think the blue-glow sword is actually Edmund's. I think that's one of the Seven. You know, like a video game, they glow when you collect them. Just a guess.
I'm tremendously encouraged by this trailer. It really seems to capture the magic and fantasy that I think people missed in the previous film. Apted really seems to've done an amazing job – it looks rich, colorful and totally inviting!
I've completly changed my mind! Watch it again, and your eyes will adjust to the digital film. And then…… WOW! I'm so so so excited for this film now!! 🙂
What is the setting? I have been looking and can't figure it out.
Me neither… But definately the TWO do NOT appear at the beach of the end.
The sword is from Peter. The very sword…

This is EXACTLY how I feel! I'm glad I found someone who agrees with me.
I feel like one would have to be high to enjoy this trailer.
Oh let them. If you don't like it do what I do and carry some cotton and bee's wax in your pocket for your ears. Trust me it works.
i have mixed feeling about the trailer.
GOOD: it seems that they included some main points from the book, like the painting and the Dufflepuds. Eustace looks how i imagined him.
BAD: the acting is cheesy. the actors don't seem like they really are the characters, and they just come across as themselves reading the lines. the animation is terrible, mostly with aslan, but the animation for the painting was bad too. and why is edmund's sword glowing? i don't remember that in the book…
and i also got a sort of child-ish sort of vibe from the trailer. did anyone else notice that? the trailer seemed more directed at kids, which worries me.
i don't want to write the movie off yet, so i guess only time will tell, right?
You know what, that helps… it really does. I KNOW that the painting scene will be much better than what they did in the trailer. But having Eustace say "what's going on here" AFTER we've seen water move and pour out of the painting already was slightly corny. Then it got REALLY corny for Lucy to say "Edmund the painting!!!"
…
grrrrr…
I mean…
It's just, and she already had said "she's a very Narnian ship" WHILE we saw the ocean move! I imagine that it will be much more magical in the actual movie. But the trailer really, really stinks. Beyond stinks, it B-stinks.
This is probably my favorite trailer out of the three movies
It appears that it is Edmund that she appears to and it is and Nightmare Island.
