Thanks to icarus for the heads-up!
The first one is gorgeous! The second, stately (I won't say boring) and the third….weird.
The third looks like a movie poster. Love all three!
Oooh! I love the first one.The cover art for the last one looks like it could be movie poster art – the design seems strikingly similar to the poster concept art we saw a while back. But the Dawn Treader's sail is flipped…ugh. I really hope I'm wrong about it being a poster.
The composition of the third is the best yet, but still, the blending is sloppy. Just look at the way Lu's collar cuts into Edmund's head!
The blending on the third one is terrible, which is a shame because that one showcases most of the characters. The first two are simple, yet wonderful!
The first one was expected. It is an absolutely beautiful shot, but it was expected.
The second one is an interesting choice. It has two pluses: Reep isn't on the logo; and "Return to Adventure" is better than "Return to Magic" (which appeared on the teaser poster).
As for the third, I was hoping to never see anything that even remotely looked like that banner ever again.
Oh, and one more thing – why do they have to have the cheesy "Return to Magic, Return to Adventure, Return to Narnia" phrases on all three? That's a slogan for the movie. These are books we're talking about. What's the point of having the slogan there for the all-seven-books volume? Nobody can "Return to Narnia" if they're reading the books for the first time… :-/
The link for second book cover is incorrect – it links to the page for the third book instead. But i have to say i love all 3! The third, with a bit more work, and bit of a tidy up around the rough edges, would make a fantastic final movie poster!
"Ooh! Minotaurs, man. I love them Minotaurs. I think I'm gonna buy this book." (Days later …) "Awww, man! There weren't any Minotaurs in there. What happened? They just like stuck 'em on the cover picture?"
Seriously, I'm glad Minotaurs are in the film adaptation, just because they are indeed cool. 😀
Aslan's mane they're all awesome!!!! =D
Fixed! Thank you. 🙂
Lol, yeah I hope no one buys the book hoping for Minotaurs! I really like them too, and I'm kind of glad they're in the movie. They're so big and hairy and cool! I can't wait to see them fight. 😛
Awesome!! Looks great! Except the last one… What are those creatures that are not in the book doing on the cover??!! I don't like them being in the movie as it is, but putting them on the cover? Hmph.
That doesn't even look like Aslan.
I'm too much of a purist to be glad to see them in the movie… Besides, how would those hooves keep a grip on the deck? Do they roughen them? I mean, seriously! When you put cattle on wood you have to give them something for their hooves to grip, usually little protruding ridges for them to stand on (Cowgirl here knows from experience). With the boat rocking to and fro, how is it logically possible for them to not slide around? And also, of what use as a sailor is a minotaur? I can't imagine any, so does that mean Caspian brought them along as warriors? Wait, he was INTENDING on fighting?? Why bring them along "just in case" of a fight and feed them all that way?
All in all, I'm not happy. 🙁
The first one is the BEST.
WOW!!!!! the third is my favorite:P
EEEEEEE! AWESOME! PERFECTLY AWESOME… though Lucy looks kind of weird… is it just me, or does she look a bit off?
Well the third one looks exactly like the poster stand, except Peter, Susan, the Chief Dufflepud, Lilliandil, and the White Witch aren't included!!!
I agree, the first is excellent, the second is nice but that third is weird and "crowded"
The first one is epic. And the sail is purple. 🙂
The second one is actually fine now that Reep has been removed from the logo.
The third one makes me raise an eyebrow. What the heck?
I like the 3rd one!
I agree, she looks disturbing to me, not at all flattering.
Impressive! All of them are wonderful. Excellent job.
Oh my goodness they all look great!!! 😀 😀 😀
LLLLLLoooooooVVVeeeee the first, eh- for the second, and excited for the third. however, i dont care for the artstyle of the third as much as the poster for the first movie. it has kind of a blurry, aged effect that is kind of ugly, i think. the LWW poster had a dreamy, fantasy look that was more pleasant, i thought. not as much grey, and lucy looks kinda ugly on DT #3.
I like the third one best. I hope they're coming out with a Movie Companion soon. Anyone know anything about that?
Yeah Pepper it is a weird picture of her! ;P
The third one is weird. Does anyone notice that the second no longer says "Return to Magic"? But the first is beautiful! And the second is nice too.
The first one is great, and would, in my opinion, make a great movie poster.
I love the first one (expect for the "visit Narnia.com" which seems like it belongs on the back. . .). The second one is nice, I think I've just seen the image too often to have much of an opinion. =P The third one. . . 🙁
Also, what's the tagline for the film? We've had "Return to hope/ to magic/ to Narnia" then the second trailer had "Return to wonder" in place of magic, and now it's "adventure"? Interesting. . .
Well, you can return to Narnia with this book if you've read the first two already! 🙂
these are so beautiful! I am so happy! I think I want one…..
I'm just wondering, will there be VDT posters in stores in Canada later when the movie is out?
Hmm. That first one is good, the second one is… boring, and the third one would be AWESOME if the blending wasn't so sloppy! Seriously, did a monkey photoshop that? I can't have anyone ruining my Narnia!!
::breathes::
At least Peter, Susan, and the WW were taken out… the minotaur is bugging me, though. Looks fake.
Hee-hee, your comment gave me the mental image of a monkey doing Narnia photoshop…hee…I must be over-tired cuz now I can't stop laughing.
Ditto.
I Love all of them! But I really like the 3rd one most!
Oh! I love them!!
really?. 1st eh not bad but over all nothing intriguing and not enough mystery. second very good captures the real main character of the story. and the third is the typical, everyone you expect to see. but gives a bit too much away.
Look's great!!!
I like the first one the best. 🙂
Truly, the monkey bit is making me laugh /my/ head off too!
(Sometimes I wonder just how many monkeys really do work on the sets … no offense to any worker in particular … I am just commenting on the adaption of the movies specifically.)
Yay! The Dawn Treader has sailed from the bathtub!
To be precise, the Dawn Treader has sailed OUT of the bathtub!
I love the third one so much!! That's how I pictured the final poster to look, except I wanted Lilliandil on it too.
wow the first one is beautiful, and the third one is lovely too.
I like all the covers,but we need more King Caspian,I'm just sayin'.
I agree wholeheartedly, it's Caspian's journey after all. I've always loved him in this book! 🙂
The third one does look odd… Kind of cartoonish, I think. Especially the minotaur. I hope they don't look like that in the movie…
I totally agree with almost everyone that the first is the best. We've seen the second from the teaser poster and the third comes from the posters in Cannes. What I don't get about the latter is why there is so much rays of shine coming from it.
he noticed the same thing 🙂
Ok, good it's not just me… maybe they enlarged her eyes? Don't look at me weird… they do it to models when they advertise shampoo or something. i saw the clip :/ anyways, those covers look *awesome*! 😀
I wonder why they keep changing the middle part of the tagline. First it's "Return to Magic". Then it's "Return to Wonder". And now it's "Return to Adventure". At first I was thinking it was dumb to keep changing it…but now it's starting to grow on me. 😉 At least it makes things different each time. I wonder what'll be next?
First one's cool, second one is okay, and the third one I really like!
The third one!
The third one!!
The first one is the great. Simple, well composed, original and looks genuinely Narnian. The second is… there. The third one is AWFUL, looks like a very bad adaptation of the LWW poster, very poorly put together. The coloring is off, the composition is too busy. For their own box office sake, I hope they don't choose to go with THAT one. That one so ugly could scare kids and parents away from the theater. So I think we have a 'the good, the bad and the ugly' situation going on.
I Love the magestic look of the first one.
Kinda sick of seeing the picture on the second one.
I would have loved the third one if they would have merged them together.
