I know right? I hated the Prince Caspian cover art. It looked so childish. It was too busy, too many colors, and no central theme to tie it all together. This one is way better. The LWW one was really good too.
Yes, the subtlety of the cover really pays off. I’m glad some of the stuff in Voyage is different from Wardrobe and Caspian since they were war stories and this is just when they go out seeking adventure.
I would rather they cut out the WW and put Caspian in her place, but whatever. I’m glad it’s not the standard VDT poster we’ve seen so much of, but something different. And is that a new picture of Lucy?
Yeah, I never seen that pic of Lucy for advertising. I like it better, though! 🙂
Poor Caspian, he is a part of the movie a thousands more times then the WW, so that really should get fixed. But overall, I love the design better than the posters, and I’m getting really giddy for it to come out! 😀
Shastafan..I agree. Lucy is beautiful in that shot. And that is my favorite picture of Eustace.
But I am upset that Caspian is not there. He is such a part of the story and in it so much more then the White Witch. LOVE the purple
Oh that not what I meant…I love Eustace in ANY pictures. But my favorite is when he is transformed…and has a softer facial expression. But when I want him annoying…he’s got the perfect face for that too. 🙂
i TOTALLY understand what u mean, Aslan’s Meadow. Whenever I try to explain to my friends why i LOVE Will Poultler so much, i never get the right wording, but what u said about his facial expressions is the exact reason i love him so much. he’s such a diverse actor. i hope acting in Narnia gives him more chances to act in other movies as well. 🙂
You took the words right out of my—or rather my finger as I type this. I like it for the most part. But I don’t like that Caspian is a major character and he gets knock off the cover by someone who only had a few minutes screen time.
It’s beyond weird that Caspian is not there! o.O I honestly didn’t expect that, after all he’s one of the very main characters *puzzlement* I really hate that he’s not there, but apart from that, I like the design better than the poster, especially the colours. Still – why the heck isn’t Caspian there?!
I’m a little frustrated that they didn’t put Caspian on the cover. It makes no sense whatsoever to me to put the white witch on there, but not Caspian. What are they trying to alude to? I get that marketing the White Witch MAY help with advertising the movie and therefore MAY help with making more profit. MAYBE. She has become(regrettably, in my opinion) a perpetuating antagonist in the movies…so i get it. What I don’t get is why they could not make room for Caspian, who is a MAIN character. I’m sorry, but that really bothers me. Probably more than it should too. I really did enjoy the movie and, I am a huge fan of the books. I feel a little better now after I vented. Only a little though. 🙁
I realized that i was too busy complaining about what I didn’t like about the DVD cover that I forgot to mention what I did like. I think that the colors are quite beautiful, and I really like the pictures of Lucy and Eustace. Lucy really stands out, and she looks beautiful. I don’t really like the picture of Edmund. They could have done a much better job with him, and he is one of my favorite characters. Aslan, you look amazingly beautiful on the cover, and I wouldn’t change a single thing about you. As far as the White Witch is concerned, she can just go take a very, VERY long hike. Maybe she will choke on some green mist along the way. 🙂
While I agree with the White Witch’s role, I think Aslan’s role was well-done in the movie. Both on-and-off screen. But not to start a discussion on that here 🙂
Also, I think it’s safe to say that Aslan is Narnia’s icon. You almost can’t not have him there. He’s on the cover’s for the previous two movies, so this fits in nicely.
As a side note: whatever artist worked on that particular image; he/she did an amazing job on it! I love the mane!
I totally agree with you about the WW. If anything, they should kick the WW off the cover, put Caspian there, or a blob of that green mist (because really that is the villain of the movie, not the WW.)
Aslan has a minor role in several of the books (take SC for example). However, he’s still the backbone of the story, you might say, and the movie adaption of VDT is no exception. It’s only right for Aslan to have a prominent place on the cover of the DVD’s and soundtracks, and on the posters.
I beg to differ. Aslan wasn’t the backbone of the movie at all, he was a walking fortune cookie who left the story whenever it was convenient. All his power, signifigance and wildness was gone. With remarkably little editing (although they’d have to reshoot the ending), Aslan’s presence could be completely gone. That couldn’t be said for the first two, especially Prince Caspian. In that movie everything depended on his return.
I can imaginw what Ben Barnes reaction would be…it has no Caspain…its ironic u know coz he was one of the main characters in the film…but i love the design and the colours and design…but put caspian in it like replace him with the witch…she is not mean to be in this book and yet they exclude the main character of the book and film…ironic
and i feel bad for ben cos VDT is his fav narnia book. but the’s remember he was front and center for PC, and no one wanted him to be remembered for that at Fox.
Wow, I really love it! It is a shame Caspian isn’t on there….but it’s still great! I like the new picture of Lucy, but they’ve never changed the pic for Ed. I’m not complaining, but everyone gets different pics but him. Anyway, I’m really excited 😀
Wow, I LOVE this new cover. For one, you don’t have to stare intently at it for 10 minutes to work out what the movie is about… Aslan is dominating half of it!!!
But the White Witch instead of Caspian??? Okay, so I’ve never really liked Ben Barnes as Caspian anyway, but I like the over-advertisment of the White Witch even less… I mean, she’s in the movie for what? 30 seconds? Surely Caspian is a /bit/ more important than her, you know, being the MAIN CHARACTER and everything.
But apart from that, I really like it! It makes the movie seem more like the magical adventure it is.
yeah, that’s why I didn’t like the official poster, with the bleak , drab grey colors and muted focus. I hope it didn’t hurt movie sales, cause look how much more magical this cover makes the movie look. the poster makes it look like a much more serious, not fun tale. not appealing to kids.
Yeah, with all the trying to make the movie appeal to a large range of audiences, someone seems to have forgotten that the books were written for CHILDREN, and the movies should be made to please children as well as other audiences. I really like this cover, because it will make kids want to see it (with the bright colours, the shimmering dawn treader and the younger looking characters) but it will also appeal to other audiences, with Edmund holding his sword and Aslan gazing majestically from the top half of the cover. 😀
I think it’s now safe to say that "Snowy Aslan" was indeed "Starry Aslan" after all. It’s pretty clear now that all the white dots are stars. At least, they seem to have enhanced them 🙂
Also, a minor thing that’ll please a lot of people: The Dawn Treader has been flipped, meaning that the letter "N" finally appears as it should; yay!
Myself, I love the cover! It’s so, amazing! And purple, haha! Definitely agree that the White Witch should be replaced with Caspian though… Meh, the movie is what counts, and I sure liked it 🙂
Wow! That is *beautiful*! For all the *tiny* slips they made in one poster, they sure made up for it in THIS! That’s amazing. I just about squealed when I saw it. Aslan’s picture is georeous! And I love how he’s so *huge* here!! 😀 Finally! Feels like they’r enot cutting back his role. Love Ed’s pic. LOVE Lucy’s new pic!! 😀
It’s just all around georgeous! Don’t care either way about the Witch’s picture– after all it’s just a cover– but it’s *so* beautiful. I didn’t even notice Caspian was missing, but that’s okay since in the book he wasn’t as prominate as the other two kids. Besides Lu and Ed deserve a prominate role there since Su and Peter always took it before 🙂 They’ve got the spot light!! 😀
Overall, this is *awesome*!! 😀 I can’t wait to see the back. Good work whoever designed this!! 😀 Makes me excited to see the movie all over again!! 🙂
This is amazing! I absolutely love this design. The white witch is annoying here though- Caspian definitely deserves that spot more than her!
But other than that, it’s BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love it! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I LOVE DE DESIGN IT’S REALLY BEAUTIFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT I’M REALLY PISS OF WITH THE WHITE WITCH
I MEAN WHAT THE HELL SHE IS DOING THERE????? AND NO CASPIAN????? IT’S RIDICULOUS I MEAN THEY REALLY NEED TO GET OVER IT ABOUT HER!!!!!!!!!! SHE’S NOT A MAIN CHARATER!!!!!!!!
AND ASLAN’S FACE I DON’T LIKE THAT PICTURE SINCE THE VERY BEGINING CUZ HE LOOKS VERY SAD AND MAKE ME FEEL IT’S A DRAMA MOVIE WHICH IS NOT!!!!!
BESIDES IT’S REALLY PRETTY COVER!!!!!!!! WAY BETTER THAN CASPIAN
I HOPE IN BLURAY WILL BE WITH SLIP CASE!!!!!!!!!!!
This is sooo much better than the poster! 🙂 Although, why is Tilda on the cover and Ben isn’t? I mean the WW doesn’t even play a huge role in the film… I think they should have left the WW out and put Caspian in.
it looks absolutely georgeous! the design is very fitting: the gold, purple, and "sea-fairing" feel. 🙂 i LOVE that pic of Aslan, i have the poster in my room. 😀
it’s a little annoying that the White Witch is on there…. okay, it’s REALLY annoying, after all, she was in the film for all of, what? ten minutes??? what’s up with that?
i actually don’t mind them dissing Ben ( i mean Caspian, sorry 😉 )
he was one of my least favorite characters in the movie. his lines felt too rehearsed (well, then again, just about ALL the characters had that problem, in my opinion) and the facial hair makes him look like a caveman. sorry. 🙂
Ha Ha- i laughed out loud at that, I thought he was so much more gorgeous in PC! his hair is flat and stringy now, he’s washed out and his eyes disappear with no makeup, and the "beard" is patchy. plus, i know i’m in the minority, but I liked his accent. And I liked the telmarines as a distinctly different race.
alas, i make MYSELF laugh sometimes….
just kidding 😉
and yes, Caspian is quite georgeous in PC. the flowing hair, cute Latino features, and accent were amazing. And THEN Michael Apted came along and everything was instantly British-ified.
I really hope Andrew Adamson directs the next one, he’s seriously better and a lot less formal-ish than Apted! No offense to him of course, I just think Andrew is better suited for the Narnia movies.
His facial hair /might/ have made him look like a caveman, if it had any substance to it.
You see, in my opinion, Ben Barnes was never the right guy to play Caspian. In PC he looked like a girl, in VDT he looked like a girl with facial hair. Whatever happened to the Caspian with blonde hair, who looked young enough to still be a kid? Sorry, but Ionic = cannon freak 😀
I’m not saying that Ben Barnes is a terrible actor (unless an accent is involved), I’m just saying that to me, he wasn’t right for Caspian. You know, Caspian being a BOY and everything 😉
Swordebrithil12, you are SOOOooo right, I want Adamson to come back too. in VDT, the actors felt stiff and the dialect sounded waaay too rehearsed. Adamson, in my opinion, put the actors at ease, which is VERY important. Then the acting feels more up-close and personal.
Ionic Bonding Rocks, u crack me up. 🙂
Caspian looks like a "girl with facial hair????"
toooo funny 😀 I myself am not a cannon "freak" 🙂
-which doesn’t mean that they’re not important- so I can’t entirely relate to what you’re saying, but you have a point. 😉
I remember an interview where Georgie said that "Adamson was so nice and friendly while Apted was so BRITISH" oh my God I almost suffocated with laughter! Adamson MUST direct The Silver Chair it’s just such an awesome story and if it does well all may not be lost for the movies.
Man, I’m so torn up about who should direct the next movie! I mean, after PC I completely lost faith in Adamson, from the themes he chose to concentrate on to Suspian. But after seeing what Apted has done, I think I’m starting to wonder whether Adamson perhaps could come back and do SC. At least with Adamson, the emotional dimension was there. With Apted, the acting seemed a little forced. And if Adamson came back, we’d have Harry back!!! /That/ would be something. I missed Harry’s music so much in VDT.
On the other hand, I’m not sure I quite trust Andrew anymore. What if he made a Jill/Eustace romance??? *shudders*
As long as Wes Anderson doesn’t direct… after what he did to ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’, I don’t think I could ever forgive him.
As a side note, has anyone noticed how much Caspain looks like Rafa? I was watching the tennis last night, and I thought, "Gee, he looks like Caspian! If they wanted someone to do a proper Spanish accent, they should have got /him/ to play Caspian!"
Kidding, kidding! Getting a tennis star to play Caspian would have surely meant the painful death of the Narnia franchise 😀
LOL, i think i’ve seen that review before, Swordebrithil12. Leave it to Georgie to tell it like it is. Ah, you gotta love that girl. 🙂
And I agree Ionic, it is pretty hard to find the right director for SC. Tim Burton would ROCK doing SC, although normally i hate **most** of his movies b/c they’re so weird and dark, but SC IS a little weird and kind of dark.
It’s good to know that there’s someone else in this world that misses Harry Gregson Williams. He’s, like, my hero. I listen to the PC soundtrack at least 2 times a day and i NEVER get tired of it. 😉
And don’t freak out so much about the Suspian, we don’t even KNOW if he’ll come back yet. Although the Eustace/Jill thing sounds a bit mortifing. 😛
In the end of VDT, though, that’s almost where they’re headed. "Eustace! Jill Pole has dropped by for a visit!"
wow. where the heck did Apted get THAT from?
Still, it was kind of cute, and made me hopeful that SC will be made. 😀 🙂
Hmm, I don’t know about Tim Burton… something tells me he’d turn it too dark… I mean, it should still be enjoyable for children to watch, seeing as the books are written for children, anyway.
But yeah, I miss Harry’s music sooo much! It had so much excitement and magic and depth and emotion in it, and the movies are lacking something without him! He’s my hero, too 😀
I don’t think that Apted was prompting a romance between Eustace and Jill, he was simply giving the book fans a little something to look forward to. However, he’s kind of fencing himself in a little, because how’s he going to explain them being friends /before/ Eustace is changed? The only explaination I can think of is that Alberta and Jill’s mother are friends, and and Jill’s mother drags Jill to the Scrubb residence with her. Something like that 😉
I’m kind of hoping Adamson will direct SC, if it gets greenlit, but I’m wondering whether he will accept. I don’t think he wanted to do VDT, because he needed a break from such a huge full-time job. :s
i agree Ionic, Burton would probably bring out more of the "dark side" of SC, and probably make it a little creepier. I know this sounds awful, and don’t get me the wrong way, but I’d almost Narnia be a little darkers than OVERLY cheery. I felt like VDT was kind of takin a turn for the worst a couple times with Lucy and all. She was more childish in VDT than in the first two movies.
I TOTALLY agree about what you said about Harry’s music. It had a certain depth and majestic feel that I don’t think ANYONE but him could capture. PLEASEEEE COME BACK HARRY!!!!! narnia SUCKS without you!!!!
I guess ur right about Apted. I think it might be kind of cute if Eustace liked Jill just a LITTLE. 🙂 I don’t mind the Suspian THAT much, yeah, it was unexpected, but it added a different twist. so far, i actually like the movies better than the books, mostly because they’re surprising and WAAAaay more interesting. 🙂
I know this is totally random, but does anyone notice how there is a sever lack of Narnia gossip? I guess after the movie comes out, there really isn’t anything that exciting going on anymore. i always feel sad when that happens. 🙁
Oh yeah, nobody wants the movies to be overly cheery, but I just think that Tim Burton would go to the opposite extreme and make it super-dark, too dark for kids to enjoy it as well. Whoever directs needs to find a balance between these two things.
Again and again we come to Harry’s music, and the fact of the matter is this: his music has such a distinct Narnian flavour to it that I’m not even sure I would want Hans Zimmer or Howard Shore to take his place. Harry’s music + Narnia = pure awesomeness. 😀
About what you said about Narnian gossip, Reepicheep’s fangirl (assuming that by gossip you meant news of any sort), I would have to agree with you. There is virtually NO Narnian news out there, hence us all hanging out on these pages for prolonged periods of time. However, I think it is great that NarniaWeb has still been able to provide us with some news at least once a week, which is compliment to their dedication to provide us with a great news site. 😀 I hope SC gets made so that this website continues to run!
yeah, i guess Burton would take it to the other extreme. look at what he did to "Alice In Wonderland"! Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter???? sure, he’s a good actor but the MAD HATTER? wow, **creeepy**.
i thought about Peter Jackson, but i think i already discussed that before, and he’s busy w/ LoTR ‘The Hobbit’ (all who’s excited say "I!").
yes, i agree, I am very thankful for NarniaWeb’s reports, and the fact that they’re so up-to-date with all the stuff we absoluetely NEED to know. LOL 😉
Its interesting…..but not at all what I expected. I dont’ know why the white which is on there when she had a whole 90 seconds of screen time. I wish Caspian was on there.
I understand why aslan is on there so prominently….he is the face of Narnia and the only carryover character throught he whole series.
One problem with the poster is that it felt too crowded. There were too many main characters. I guess they felt that since Barnes got so much spotlight in the last movie, they could leave him out here. Makes sense to me and I hope Barnes doesn’t feel snubbed. As for the witch, I’m beginning to think that she’s the best friend of all the movie people so they put everywhere because they like her 🙂
I agree it’s a dissapointment that Caspian isn’t there, but he will most likely be on the back which we haven’t seen yet so keep your hopes up!
And with the whole White Witch thing I really think she’s just being used to symbolize the mist. Remember it wasn’t easy to defeat her, so she’s still a nightmare, which is basically what the green mist relies on.
Somebody please explain to me why the White Witch is there and Caspian isn’t. Completely disregarding the book, Caspian’s got more screen time in movie VotDT than WW does, so, at least to me, logically Caspian should at least be on the DVD cover as one of the main characters.
But, then, logic may have been displaced. You never know what they’re teaching in schools these days.
Logic certainly was misplaced when Fox had to take control of the Narnia films. If this was a Disney movie Ben Barnes would be on the FRONT cover of the DVD in all his glory, just like he was for Prince Caspian. I’m just sayin’.
Caspian? Caspian? Where for art thou, Caspian? o.O Ahh, wait, I see what’s going on now. He’s too busy being shoved off of the cover by the White Witch. What is that, anyways? "I’ll always be alive… ON YOUR DVD COVER! Mwahahahahaha!"?! And why must Edmund look like he’ll hack your hand to pieces if attempt to pick it up off the shelf? Oh well. Optimistic time… well, the colors are lovely, as are Aslan, Lucy, Reep, and the Dawn Treader. And, despite the hack-ness, Ed looks pretty boss… okay, basically, everything rocks except for Jadis. She has GOT to go!
you mean the avatar on my comment? it’s a bright beach scene, and I was wearing white shorts, sooo yeah. I apologize if that’s what it looks like! I should probably change it so that there isn’t any question.
For Christmas I got a video game, but my grandma bought it, and what ever website it came from sent it, but it didn’t come with a cover. So (I have a couple game covers of games that don’t work) I used one of the covers, turned the paper part inside out to the white part and drew my own cover. You can turn the VDT paper part inside out and draw your own cover. 🙂
i find it extremely weird and aggervating that caspian isn’t on it. he’s a way more important character than the witch {who, may i add, is just a figment in edmunds imagination in this movie. and yet she gets on the cover? what??} but its still beautiful. much better than the official poster. i cant wait to see this on my shelf!
This is sooooo stupid! How come Caspian isn’t on there? He is one of the main characters- so why isn’t he there? I am very disappointed in Michael Apted for no Caspian on the front cover. MEH.
Apart from no Caspian, I like it! Apart from the WW, of course. The colours are nicer and Lucy doesn’t look photoshopped anymore- thank goodness. It makes the cover look a whole lot more professional.
Is this like, legit for real what the cover is going to look like when it is on shelves at stores? Don’t get me wrong, the creative artwork and design is amazing but seriously I am with everyone else, where is King Caspian? That’s so lame to just not have him on the cover because that is like not even having him in the movie!
Beautiful cover. The purple and blue really capture the magic of Narnia. I love how it’s so much brighter than the Prince Caspian cover, which was all brown and nasty.
ADAMSON I MISS YOU!!! YOU ARE MY DIRECTING ICON!!! PLEASE COME BACK FOR SILVER CHAIR!!!! 🙂 Have a happy day.
I like it, it’s really different though. The first cover is the best one so far, though. Yeah, me and my family were like, Caspian should be on it before the White Witch! Argh… 😛
I love the purple and the Georgie pick, but….
WHERE IS MY CASPIAN????
he served a much bigger part than both the WW amd Aslan.
Sorry Aslan, buddy, you know i respect you.
you too, Tilda.
yay they have the beautiful picture of Aslan and not the terrible one! good. and a much better picture of Lucy. i’d really wish their strange obsession with the White Witch would have not squeezed its way onto the cover. and where is Caspian? for goodness sake he’s, like, very important! even so, its a very nice cover. cant wait to own it!!!!
As the person above said… WHERE IS CASPIAN!? He’s one of the major characters! This cover is a way better than Disney’s first two. I only dislike Ed’s picture, it could be a better one…
Good grief!!!!!!!!WHERE IS CASPIAN?????????????????? Although I think I like the Prince Caspian cover better. (it actually showed Caspian.) ((Not to mention all the other main characters)) So, I agree the pic of Lucy is SOOO much better than the poster version. And the one of Eustace is a little misshaped. 🙂 Ed is a little dramatic for a movie cover, but it’d make a good portrait…..good idea. 🙂
I like it. I think the colors are vibrant, the pictures show courage and good scenes, and the people make it cool. But the one thing that I think makes it special, is great, awesome, courageous, Reepicheep !! I love Reepicheep !! I love Skandar too. But honestly. if Aslan gave me the choice of being a queen, or a mouse with Reepicheep, I would pick a mouse.
wow! i am getting that apirl 8th 2011 for being good in school.I am sad it is the last narnia the dvd is fantastic you gotta admit skanndard/edmund is funny BET NARNIA EVER
I love it!!!! first comment!!!!
is it just me, or does it look like the cover of Enchanted?
Nice. Love the purple background. Great way to make it different from the other Narnia covers.
Yeah this one’s quite unique, but doesn’t separate its design from the others.
Love the purple and blue, as well as the simplicity.
SO glad they’re not sporting SNOW in this cover 😛
YES!!! The purple cover fits perfectly since the full color book also has a purple spine!!!
I know right? I hated the Prince Caspian cover art. It looked so childish. It was too busy, too many colors, and no central theme to tie it all together. This one is way better. The LWW one was really good too.
Yes, the subtlety of the cover really pays off. I’m glad some of the stuff in Voyage is different from Wardrobe and Caspian since they were war stories and this is just when they go out seeking adventure.
I would rather they cut out the WW and put Caspian in her place, but whatever. I’m glad it’s not the standard VDT poster we’ve seen so much of, but something different. And is that a new picture of Lucy?
I am agree with u about Caspian!
I want him 2 come out.
Yeah, I never seen that pic of Lucy for advertising. I like it better, though! 🙂

Shastafan..I agree. Lucy is beautiful in that shot. And that is my favorite picture of Eustace.
But I am upset that Caspian is not there. He is such a part of the story and in it so much more then the White Witch. LOVE the purple
Aslan’s Meadow, ANY shot with Eustace in it has to be good. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Oh that not what I meant…I love Eustace in ANY pictures. But my favorite is when he is transformed…and has a softer facial expression. But when I want him annoying…he’s got the perfect face for that too. 🙂
i TOTALLY understand what u mean, Aslan’s Meadow. Whenever I try to explain to my friends why i LOVE Will Poultler so much, i never get the right wording, but what u said about his facial expressions is the exact reason i love him so much. he’s such a diverse actor. i hope acting in Narnia gives him more chances to act in other movies as well. 🙂
You took the words right out of my—or rather my finger as I type this. I like it for the most part. But I don’t like that Caspian is a major character and he gets knock off the cover by someone who only had a few minutes screen time.
I mean my fingers.
lol…..I can just see you typing everything out with one finger. 🙂
It’s beyond weird that Caspian is not there! o.O I honestly didn’t expect that, after all he’s one of the very main characters *puzzlement* I really hate that he’s not there, but apart from that, I like the design better than the poster, especially the colours.

As far as the White Witch is concerned, she can just go take a very, VERY long hike. Maybe she will choke on some green mist along the way. 🙂
Caspian…I think Ben did very good work.He must come!!
& about Lucy,I love the new 1*
Georgie is so cute!!
Yeah, just about the first thing I thought of when I saw this was that Caspian should have been in the WW’s place. Other than that it’s nice.
Looks good! Now, what’s on the disc?
I’ll buy it when it come 2 Japan!!
Beautiful,isn’t it!?
I love it so much**
I really like it!! But why is Tilda Swanson always on the cover art though?
Ummm…
In Japan,there is a saying;don’t 4get first time.
Maybe she is some kind of hint 4 the next,i mean SC!
Nice.
That looks really good! I’ll probably buy the Blu-ray when it arrives.
it lookks awesome! cant wait to own it! ^ _ ^
I like the cover, its not too busy like the VDT poster that has all the characters… wish it had Caspian though, but oh well.
Not sure why the White Witch and Aslan are so prominently featured. Both have very minor roles in the movie.
While I agree with the White Witch’s role, I think Aslan’s role was well-done in the movie. Both on-and-off screen. But not to start a discussion on that here 🙂
Also, I think it’s safe to say that Aslan is Narnia’s icon. You almost can’t not have him there. He’s on the cover’s for the previous two movies, so this fits in nicely.
As a side note: whatever artist worked on that particular image; he/she did an amazing job on it! I love the mane!
I totally agree with you about the WW. If anything, they should kick the WW off the cover, put Caspian there, or a blob of that green mist (because really that is the villain of the movie, not the WW.)
Aslan has a minor role in several of the books (take SC for example). However, he’s still the backbone of the story, you might say, and the movie adaption of VDT is no exception. It’s only right for Aslan to have a prominent place on the cover of the DVD’s and soundtracks, and on the posters.
I beg to differ. Aslan wasn’t the backbone of the movie at all, he was a walking fortune cookie who left the story whenever it was convenient. All his power, signifigance and wildness was gone. With remarkably little editing (although they’d have to reshoot the ending), Aslan’s presence could be completely gone. That couldn’t be said for the first two, especially Prince Caspian. In that movie everything depended on his return.
I want to cry. They have the WW and no Caspian?!
I can imaginw what Ben Barnes reaction would be…it has no Caspain…its ironic u know coz he was one of the main characters in the film…but i love the design and the colours and design…but put caspian in it like replace him with the witch…she is not mean to be in this book and yet they exclude the main character of the book and film…ironic
and i feel bad for ben cos VDT is his fav narnia book. but the’s remember he was front and center for PC, and no one wanted him to be remembered for that at Fox.
Wow, I really love it! It is a shame Caspian isn’t on there….but it’s still great! I like the new picture of Lucy, but they’ve never changed the pic for Ed. I’m not complaining, but everyone gets different pics but him. Anyway, I’m really excited 😀
This is actually pretty good, much better than the posters anyway. My only question is: Where are the seven swords?
My only answer: WHO CARES! It’s great that the swords arn’t on the cover. lol. But if you liked the swords I can understand that too.
Wow, I LOVE this new cover. For one, you don’t have to stare intently at it for 10 minutes to work out what the movie is about… Aslan is dominating half of it!!!
But the White Witch instead of Caspian??? Okay, so I’ve never really liked Ben Barnes as Caspian anyway, but I like the over-advertisment of the White Witch even less… I mean, she’s in the movie for what? 30 seconds? Surely Caspian is a /bit/ more important than her, you know, being the MAIN CHARACTER and everything.
But apart from that, I really like it! It makes the movie seem more like the magical adventure it is.
yeah, that’s why I didn’t like the official poster, with the bleak , drab grey colors and muted focus. I hope it didn’t hurt movie sales, cause look how much more magical this cover makes the movie look. the poster makes it look like a much more serious, not fun tale. not appealing to kids.
Yeah, with all the trying to make the movie appeal to a large range of audiences, someone seems to have forgotten that the books were written for CHILDREN, and the movies should be made to please children as well as other audiences. I really like this cover, because it will make kids want to see it (with the bright colours, the shimmering dawn treader and the younger looking characters) but it will also appeal to other audiences, with Edmund holding his sword and Aslan gazing majestically from the top half of the cover. 😀
I’m glad the dragon is gone, he looked kinda cheap on the movie posters. Hope we Flemish people get this dvd-cover too.
Cool but where’s Caspian, Susan, and Peter?
I think it’s now safe to say that "Snowy Aslan" was indeed "Starry Aslan" after all. It’s pretty clear now that all the white dots are stars. At least, they seem to have enhanced them 🙂
Also, a minor thing that’ll please a lot of people: The Dawn Treader has been flipped, meaning that the letter "N" finally appears as it should; yay!
Myself, I love the cover! It’s so, amazing! And purple, haha! Definitely agree that the White Witch should be replaced with Caspian though… Meh, the movie is what counts, and I sure liked it 🙂
I’m still convinced that it was snow.
yea! i win the bet!!!!!
The Lion The Witch & The War-treader-mouse…
Where is Caspian?!
The translated title of the movie and book
in swedish is (in case you didn´t know it)
King Caspian And The Ship "The Dawn" 😉
Wow! That is *beautiful*! For all the *tiny* slips they made in one poster, they sure made up for it in THIS! That’s amazing. I just about squealed when I saw it. Aslan’s picture is georeous! And I love how he’s so *huge* here!! 😀 Finally! Feels like they’r enot cutting back his role. Love Ed’s pic. LOVE Lucy’s new pic!! 😀
It’s just all around georgeous! Don’t care either way about the Witch’s picture– after all it’s just a cover– but it’s *so* beautiful. I didn’t even notice Caspian was missing, but that’s okay since in the book he wasn’t as prominate as the other two kids. Besides Lu and Ed deserve a prominate role there since Su and Peter always took it before 🙂 They’ve got the spot light!! 😀
Overall, this is *awesome*!! 😀 I can’t wait to see the back. Good work whoever designed this!! 😀 Makes me excited to see the movie all over again!! 🙂
This is amazing! I absolutely love this design. The white witch is annoying here though- Caspian definitely deserves that spot more than her!
But other than that, it’s BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love it! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I LOVE DE DESIGN IT’S REALLY BEAUTIFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT I’M REALLY PISS OF WITH THE WHITE WITCH
I MEAN WHAT THE HELL SHE IS DOING THERE????? AND NO CASPIAN????? IT’S RIDICULOUS I MEAN THEY REALLY NEED TO GET OVER IT ABOUT HER!!!!!!!!!! SHE’S NOT A MAIN CHARATER!!!!!!!!
AND ASLAN’S FACE I DON’T LIKE THAT PICTURE SINCE THE VERY BEGINING CUZ HE LOOKS VERY SAD AND MAKE ME FEEL IT’S A DRAMA MOVIE WHICH IS NOT!!!!!
BESIDES IT’S REALLY PRETTY COVER!!!!!!!! WAY BETTER THAN CASPIAN
I HOPE IN BLURAY WILL BE WITH SLIP CASE!!!!!!!!!!!
i hate the white witch on there as much as the next guy, but can we try to keep language, u know, "family friendly"? thanxs 😉
aslan looks sad cause caspian ‘s not there= : )
I thought NarniaWeb filtered out profanity… please do not use those words again.
so for my words!!!! i was angry!!!! it never happen again
I’M STILL LOVING THE COVER AND I WANT IT WITH SLIP CASE
perfectly alright YOJAR, we all have our moments. 😉
and yes, it IS angering to see HER on there.
It’s great, but yeah, what about caspian?
I like the cover, but I agree that Caspian should be on their instead of the WW.
Wow! Lucy looks younger in that pic! And Caspian should be on the cover!
I love them, they look very very narnian
I agree about tilda and ben !
because Tilda dosn’t appear in the book
and Caspian does !
Caspian is definitely missing. Otherwise it’s a nice cover.
Awesome!!!!!!
This is sooo much better than the poster! 🙂 Although, why is Tilda on the cover and Ben isn’t? I mean the WW doesn’t even play a huge role in the film… I think they should have left the WW out and put Caspian in.
because Tilda has an oscar and ben doesn’t, maybe?
it looks absolutely georgeous! the design is very fitting: the gold, purple, and "sea-fairing" feel. 🙂 i LOVE that pic of Aslan, i have the poster in my room. 😀
it’s a little annoying that the White Witch is on there…. okay, it’s REALLY annoying, after all, she was in the film for all of, what? ten minutes??? what’s up with that?
i actually don’t mind them dissing Ben ( i mean Caspian, sorry 😉 )
he was one of my least favorite characters in the movie. his lines felt too rehearsed (well, then again, just about ALL the characters had that problem, in my opinion) and the facial hair makes him look like a caveman. sorry. 🙂
Ha Ha- i laughed out loud at that, I thought he was so much more gorgeous in PC! his hair is flat and stringy now, he’s washed out and his eyes disappear with no makeup, and the "beard" is patchy. plus, i know i’m in the minority, but I liked his accent. And I liked the telmarines as a distinctly different race.
alas, i make MYSELF laugh sometimes….
just kidding 😉
and yes, Caspian is quite georgeous in PC. the flowing hair, cute Latino features, and accent were amazing. And THEN Michael Apted came along and everything was instantly British-ified.
I really hope Andrew Adamson directs the next one, he’s seriously better and a lot less formal-ish than Apted! No offense to him of course, I just think Andrew is better suited for the Narnia movies.
His facial hair /might/ have made him look like a caveman, if it had any substance to it.
You see, in my opinion, Ben Barnes was never the right guy to play Caspian. In PC he looked like a girl, in VDT he looked like a girl with facial hair. Whatever happened to the Caspian with blonde hair, who looked young enough to still be a kid? Sorry, but Ionic = cannon freak 😀
I’m not saying that Ben Barnes is a terrible actor (unless an accent is involved), I’m just saying that to me, he wasn’t right for Caspian. You know, Caspian being a BOY and everything 😉
Swordebrithil12, you are SOOOooo right, I want Adamson to come back too. in VDT, the actors felt stiff and the dialect sounded waaay too rehearsed. Adamson, in my opinion, put the actors at ease, which is VERY important. Then the acting feels more up-close and personal.
Ionic Bonding Rocks, u crack me up. 🙂
Caspian looks like a "girl with facial hair????"
toooo funny 😀 I myself am not a cannon "freak" 🙂
-which doesn’t mean that they’re not important- so I can’t entirely relate to what you’re saying, but you have a point. 😉
I remember an interview where Georgie said that "Adamson was so nice and friendly while Apted was so BRITISH" oh my God I almost suffocated with laughter! Adamson MUST direct The Silver Chair it’s just such an awesome story and if it does well all may not be lost for the movies.
Man, I’m so torn up about who should direct the next movie! I mean, after PC I completely lost faith in Adamson, from the themes he chose to concentrate on to Suspian. But after seeing what Apted has done, I think I’m starting to wonder whether Adamson perhaps could come back and do SC. At least with Adamson, the emotional dimension was there. With Apted, the acting seemed a little forced. And if Adamson came back, we’d have Harry back!!! /That/ would be something. I missed Harry’s music so much in VDT.
On the other hand, I’m not sure I quite trust Andrew anymore. What if he made a Jill/Eustace romance??? *shudders*
As long as Wes Anderson doesn’t direct… after what he did to ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’, I don’t think I could ever forgive him.
As a side note, has anyone noticed how much Caspain looks like Rafa? I was watching the tennis last night, and I thought, "Gee, he looks like Caspian! If they wanted someone to do a proper Spanish accent, they should have got /him/ to play Caspian!"
Kidding, kidding! Getting a tennis star to play Caspian would have surely meant the painful death of the Narnia franchise 😀
LOL, i think i’ve seen that review before, Swordebrithil12. Leave it to Georgie to tell it like it is. Ah, you gotta love that girl. 🙂
And I agree Ionic, it is pretty hard to find the right director for SC. Tim Burton would ROCK doing SC, although normally i hate **most** of his movies b/c they’re so weird and dark, but SC IS a little weird and kind of dark.
It’s good to know that there’s someone else in this world that misses Harry Gregson Williams. He’s, like, my hero. I listen to the PC soundtrack at least 2 times a day and i NEVER get tired of it. 😉
And don’t freak out so much about the Suspian, we don’t even KNOW if he’ll come back yet. Although the Eustace/Jill thing sounds a bit mortifing. 😛
In the end of VDT, though, that’s almost where they’re headed. "Eustace! Jill Pole has dropped by for a visit!"
wow. where the heck did Apted get THAT from?
Still, it was kind of cute, and made me hopeful that SC will be made. 😀 🙂
Hmm, I don’t know about Tim Burton… something tells me he’d turn it too dark… I mean, it should still be enjoyable for children to watch, seeing as the books are written for children, anyway.
But yeah, I miss Harry’s music sooo much! It had so much excitement and magic and depth and emotion in it, and the movies are lacking something without him! He’s my hero, too 😀
I don’t think that Apted was prompting a romance between Eustace and Jill, he was simply giving the book fans a little something to look forward to. However, he’s kind of fencing himself in a little, because how’s he going to explain them being friends /before/ Eustace is changed? The only explaination I can think of is that Alberta and Jill’s mother are friends, and and Jill’s mother drags Jill to the Scrubb residence with her. Something like that 😉
I’m kind of hoping Adamson will direct SC, if it gets greenlit, but I’m wondering whether he will accept. I don’t think he wanted to do VDT, because he needed a break from such a huge full-time job. :s
i agree Ionic, Burton would probably bring out more of the "dark side" of SC, and probably make it a little creepier. I know this sounds awful, and don’t get me the wrong way, but I’d almost Narnia be a little darkers than OVERLY cheery. I felt like VDT was kind of takin a turn for the worst a couple times with Lucy and all. She was more childish in VDT than in the first two movies.
I TOTALLY agree about what you said about Harry’s music. It had a certain depth and majestic feel that I don’t think ANYONE but him could capture. PLEASEEEE COME BACK HARRY!!!!! narnia SUCKS without you!!!!
I guess ur right about Apted. I think it might be kind of cute if Eustace liked Jill just a LITTLE. 🙂 I don’t mind the Suspian THAT much, yeah, it was unexpected, but it added a different twist. so far, i actually like the movies better than the books, mostly because they’re surprising and WAAAaay more interesting. 🙂
I know this is totally random, but does anyone notice how there is a sever lack of Narnia gossip? I guess after the movie comes out, there really isn’t anything that exciting going on anymore. i always feel sad when that happens. 🙁
Oh yeah, nobody wants the movies to be overly cheery, but I just think that Tim Burton would go to the opposite extreme and make it super-dark, too dark for kids to enjoy it as well. Whoever directs needs to find a balance between these two things.
Again and again we come to Harry’s music, and the fact of the matter is this: his music has such a distinct Narnian flavour to it that I’m not even sure I would want Hans Zimmer or Howard Shore to take his place. Harry’s music + Narnia = pure awesomeness. 😀
About what you said about Narnian gossip, Reepicheep’s fangirl (assuming that by gossip you meant news of any sort), I would have to agree with you. There is virtually NO Narnian news out there, hence us all hanging out on these pages for prolonged periods of time. However, I think it is great that NarniaWeb has still been able to provide us with some news at least once a week, which is compliment to their dedication to provide us with a great news site. 😀 I hope SC gets made so that this website continues to run!
yeah, i guess Burton would take it to the other extreme. look at what he did to "Alice In Wonderland"! Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter???? sure, he’s a good actor but the MAD HATTER? wow, **creeepy**.
i thought about Peter Jackson, but i think i already discussed that before, and he’s busy w/ LoTR ‘The Hobbit’ (all who’s excited say "I!").
yes, i agree, I am very thankful for NarniaWeb’s reports, and the fact that they’re so up-to-date with all the stuff we absoluetely NEED to know. LOL 😉
I would give this cover art 6/10.
Its interesting…..but not at all what I expected. I dont’ know why the white which is on there when she had a whole 90 seconds of screen time. I wish Caspian was on there.
I understand why aslan is on there so prominently….he is the face of Narnia and the only carryover character throught he whole series.
all hail Overlord Aslan! : )
1) Yay for using the good Aslan pic
2) More Caspian, less Jadis please!
3) Any multi disc dvd editions?
One problem with the poster is that it felt too crowded. There were too many main characters. I guess they felt that since Barnes got so much spotlight in the last movie, they could leave him out here. Makes sense to me and I hope Barnes doesn’t feel snubbed. As for the witch, I’m beginning to think that she’s the best friend of all the movie people so they put everywhere because they like her 🙂
Simple. Stylish. Looks like a kids movie.
WHERE IS CASPIAN???:( Otherwise it is very awesome!
I agree it’s a dissapointment that Caspian isn’t there, but he will most likely be on the back which we haven’t seen yet so keep your hopes up!
And with the whole White Witch thing I really think she’s just being used to symbolize the mist. Remember it wasn’t easy to defeat her, so she’s still a nightmare, which is basically what the green mist relies on.
Can’t… stand… WITCH!
I’m just going to print a picture of Caspian’s head and tape it on the DVD cover over the witch.
hahah
that’s a good one
I’ll join you! I’m no fangirl, but something is wrong when the King of Narnia isn’t even on the DVD cover. :-/
Somebody please explain to me why the White Witch is there and Caspian isn’t. Completely disregarding the book, Caspian’s got more screen time in movie VotDT than WW does, so, at least to me, logically Caspian should at least be on the DVD cover as one of the main characters.
But, then, logic may have been displaced. You never know what they’re teaching in schools these days.
Logic certainly was misplaced when Fox had to take control of the Narnia films. If this was a Disney movie Ben Barnes would be on the FRONT cover of the DVD in all his glory, just like he was for Prince Caspian. I’m just sayin’.
I love it!!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!!!
Caspian? Caspian? Where for art thou, Caspian? o.O Ahh, wait, I see what’s going on now. He’s too busy being shoved off of the cover by the White Witch. What is that, anyways? "I’ll always be alive… ON YOUR DVD COVER! Mwahahahahaha!"?! And why must Edmund look like he’ll hack your hand to pieces if attempt to pick it up off the shelf? Oh well. Optimistic time… well, the colors are lovely, as are Aslan, Lucy, Reep, and the Dawn Treader. And, despite the hack-ness, Ed looks pretty boss… okay, basically, everything rocks except for Jadis. She has GOT to go!
Excuse me missy, um, What is with the picture of the girl half naked ?
you mean the avatar on my comment? it’s a bright beach scene, and I was wearing white shorts, sooo yeah. I apologize if that’s what it looks like! I should probably change it so that there isn’t any question.
By no means a perfect merger, but here is how the cover art should have looked with Caspian on it instead of the white witch: http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/732/70935488.jpg
Yes, i prefer your’s!
they put the white witch but not caspian -__-
This is the best cover design in the whole series, it is fabulous! Cannot wait for the blu-ray!
For Christmas I got a video game, but my grandma bought it, and what ever website it came from sent it, but it didn’t come with a cover. So (I have a couple game covers of games that don’t work) I used one of the covers, turned the paper part inside out to the white part and drew my own cover. You can turn the VDT paper part inside out and draw your own cover. 🙂
hahaha, that sounds like fun! there should be a contest for that or something. 😉
Yeah! That would be fun!
i find it extremely weird and aggervating that caspian isn’t on it. he’s a way more important character than the witch {who, may i add, is just a figment in edmunds imagination in this movie. and yet she gets on the cover? what??} but its still beautiful. much better than the official poster. i cant wait to see this on my shelf!
Jaja me too!! i can’t wait!!
P.S. i like your nickname.. is funny!
This is sooooo stupid! How come Caspian isn’t on there? He is one of the main characters- so why isn’t he there? I am very disappointed in Michael Apted for no Caspian on the front cover. MEH.
Apart from no Caspian, I like it! Apart from the WW, of course. The colours are nicer and Lucy doesn’t look photoshopped anymore- thank goodness. It makes the cover look a whole lot more professional.
I don’t think Directors have anything to do with the cover art for posters or DVDs but I could be wrong
Oooooooo!!!!! I love it!!!!! So nice looking!!!!
Is this like, legit for real what the cover is going to look like when it is on shelves at stores? Don’t get me wrong, the creative artwork and design is amazing but seriously I am with everyone else, where is King Caspian? That’s so lame to just not have him on the cover because that is like not even having him in the movie!
The cover looks good but Caspian should have been on there…
Beautiful cover. The purple and blue really capture the magic of Narnia. I love how it’s so much brighter than the Prince Caspian cover, which was all brown and nasty.
ADAMSON I MISS YOU!!! YOU ARE MY DIRECTING ICON!!! PLEASE COME BACK FOR SILVER CHAIR!!!! 🙂 Have a happy day.
Its absolutley lovley! 🙂 I love it! 🙂
Uh, where’s Caspian?
I like it, it’s really different though. The first cover is the best one so far, though. Yeah, me and my family were like, Caspian should be on it before the White Witch! Argh… 😛
NANIYA IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.I LOVE NANIYA.MOOOOOOO
AMAZING!! <3
i like it. but ticked off cuz Caspian isnt there:(((
I love the purple and the Georgie pick, but….
WHERE IS MY CASPIAN????
he served a much bigger part than both the WW amd Aslan.
Sorry Aslan, buddy, you know i respect you.
you too, Tilda.
I love it!!!!!
they should squeeze caspian somewhere in there, he’ll fit nicely : )
yay they have the beautiful picture of Aslan and not the terrible one! good. and a much better picture of Lucy. i’d really wish their strange obsession with the White Witch would have not squeezed its way onto the cover. and where is Caspian? for goodness sake he’s, like, very important! even so, its a very nice cover. cant wait to own it!!!!
As the person above said… WHERE IS CASPIAN!? He’s one of the major characters! This cover is a way better than Disney’s first two. I only dislike Ed’s picture, it could be a better one…
i know right whats up with that Caspian is AWESOME!!!!!
Good grief!!!!!!!!WHERE IS CASPIAN?????????????????? Although I think I like the Prince Caspian cover better. (it actually showed Caspian.) ((Not to mention all the other main characters)) So, I agree the pic of Lucy is SOOO much better than the poster version. And the one of Eustace is a little misshaped. 🙂 Ed is a little dramatic for a movie cover, but it’d make a good portrait…..good idea. 🙂
I like it. I think the colors are vibrant, the pictures show courage and good scenes, and the people make it cool. But the one thing that I think makes it special, is great, awesome, courageous, Reepicheep !! I love Reepicheep !! I love Skandar too. But honestly. if Aslan gave me the choice of being a queen, or a mouse with Reepicheep, I would pick a mouse.

WHERE IS CASPIAN!!! But the cover is great. Though I think Edmund looks kinda silly ;)It’s a great cover! I can’t wait when it comes out on DVD!
Did you know Skandar is on counciling ?
wow! i am getting that apirl 8th 2011 for being good in school.I am sad it is the last narnia the dvd is fantastic you gotta admit skanndard/edmund is funny BET NARNIA EVER
