    YAY! Now to find out when it comes out in Australia, still a gigantic shame there are no bloopers.

  2. Beginte says:

    I know, buu, I was hoping for the commentary from the kids… though Ben and Skandar hardly constitute as kids by now 😛 Anyway, too bad… *sob* I want to know how can I order this three-disc thing that is so appetizingly displayed on the right side of the photo though!!!

  3. Yellow Peril says:

    It could be about the wonderful green mist!

    has ANYONE noticed that ever since Fox took this franchise, it's been sinking deeper than what we all expected? I've noticed it SOOOO MUCH…I know I hate Disney, but I'm beginning to miss them handling all this than what we know now as the distorted movie series we all watched grow into a wreck

  5. Griffle says:

    I don't see why the DVD that comes with the BD should be any different than the one that is sold separately. Wouldn't make any sense at all and it would cost FOX extra to print two different versions.

  6. Arantxa says:

    Wow I want it!!!!! Do you know when it be in stores in Spain??

  7. Not Of This World says:

    That's a good date! I know what i'm buying this April 🙂

  8. reepicheep's_fangirl says:

    i know what I'M getting for MY birthday
    😀

  9. Not Of This World says:

    Yes, that makes sence. Where did you hear that?

  10. Lucy says:

    I think this boycott idea is stupid! It's a good movie (for those of us who liked it, please let's not turn this into a debate about the movie's quailty since many of us seem to have different thoughts on that matter), and yes, it's a little sad if there's not commetary with Will, Skandar, Geogrie, and Ben, but that's not reason to boycott an entire dvd/blu-ray. But it's a horrible spoiled brat thing to do not to get it at all just cuz of that. What about all the other stuff on the dvd? You boycotters are awfully spoiled and quite silly. Honestly, fox will NOT do everything disney did, get it through your heads. We're lucky they're giving us as much as they have! I mean, look at "City of Ember", a science fiction/fantasy film based on a book series also done by fox; they gave NO EXTRA FEATURES AT ALL, and think of the sweet, though fast-paced (kind like VDT actually, LOL) movie dvd buyers would have missed if they were idiots and boycotted THAT. Don't be stupid. Just buy the freakin dvd if you like the bloody movie! I for one am not joining this moronic boycott, and I intend to buy the blu-ray combo pack (or at LEAST the dvd) no matter what. I just really loved the movie. If fox only makes one sale because of this nonsense, over one little feature you are all moping about (which yes, I'm sorry they won't have it too, but get over it, move on!), know it was MY sale, and that while you're all sitting home with no new movie to watch, I'll be enjoying Fox and Waldens Voyage of the Dawn Treader in my cozy living room, with snacks! So there!

  11. faunforaslan says:

    I am glad that Fox is putting more time into the design of the DVD and Blu-Ray. It seemed like, for PC, Disney rushed the cover art and the disc was just silver. These things look so much more well thought out. Can't wait for it! 😀

  12. Reepicheep775 says:

    I want the movie because I'm a big Narnia fan and I enjoy comparing the movies to the books. The other two movies, I bought simply because I liked them in addition to the fact that they were based on books that I love. I'm also very interested to hear what Apted will say on the commentary. And like stateofgreen said, there were good moments. Distressingly few, but they are there.

  13. {the girl who checks her closet erry night} says:

    Oh my Lordee be,
    I know this is random but has anyone gone on youtube and checked out the soundtrack?
    http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=2D453ACC847046BE
    scroll down the the end and listen to ALL OF THEM.
    i like the movie 10,000 times better after hearing this soundtrack.
    what do you guys think?

  14. reepicheep's_fangirl says:

    i know right???? i was totally looking forward to hearing Georgie for the last time, and Will is soooo sweet and cute and i wanted to hear his recollection of making the film. 🙁 🙁

  15. reepicheep's_fangirl says:

    wow, that really explains a lot!
    No WONDER the movie sucked!

  16. Gleeokan says:

    Wonderful!!

  17. Kelly says:

    It's released on my birthday. Yay!!!!!!!!! 🙂 Can't wait to go buy it now. 🙂

  18. Lucy says:

    Dawn Treader did NAWT suck. That's an opinon. i think it's ghastly that if I said, "Dawn Treader was AH-MAZING" everyone would jump down my throat and say it wasn't and that's just my silly opinon but you people can say it sucked and get away with shoving your opinons around on everyone. NOT FAIR.

  19. Shastafan says:

    Awesome! These features look pretty good, although some of the stuff I raise my eyebrows to (animated short?). Overall, I'm very hyper for this release! ;D

  20. Snow here in Chicago is magnificent. Feels very Narnian, though too much of it looks like an attack from the White Witch. Can't wait to play in it though! 😀 And I NEED that DVD so bad I know it gets annoying saying it over and over but I'm too worked up. These two months are going to be kinda hard for me. XD

  21. The soundtrack is unbelievably gorgeous, I simply love it.

  22. Eustace says:

    That is so funny!

  23. Ugly Pig says:

    Why would you listen to a soundtrack on YouTube? That's what CDs are for, 😉

  24. Pepper Darcy says:

    okay, is it me, or does it look like the DVD Blu Ray comes with a package of pictures? If so, I'm buying THAT set since it has the Normal DVD anyway!! That is beautiful work!! 😀

  25. Here in Brazil the launch of DVD and Blu-ray for both rental and for sale will be March 30 very, very happy! See here: http://migre.me/3NEKD

  26. What are you talking about? Skandar's been animated enough in the video/other interviews I've seen! Maybe you need to watch more of what's listed here! http://www.aslanscountry.com/?s=skandar+interview

  27. reepicheep's_fangirl says:

    you are absolutely right, Lucy, and i apologize, i don't know what came over me. saying it "sucked" was way too harsh. I was just annoyed to hear my theory that Apted was rather stiff compared to Adamson proved correct. sorry again. 🙂

  28. reepicheep's_fangirl says:

    you're right, but do you think we could tone it down just a little???? it was only a SUGGESTION to boycott it, although i wouldn't give up seeing the movie just because it doesn't have as many super cool features as the others either. 😉

  29. narnia fan 7 says:

    everything looks Awesome!!! buy the Animated Short

  30. reepicheep's_fangirl says:

    haha, i have to admit, sadly, i second that. i WANTED to like the movie, i really did. But it was missing something that the other two had. of course, there were definitely parts in it that i liked, but just PARTS not, like, the ENTIRE thing. i was still very impressed with the visual effects and Will Poultler <3 <3 <3 (who wasn't??? 😉 ) , of course.

  31. reepicheep's_fangirl says:

    "seasick GAG reel"? i know there wasn't a pun intended, but I still have to laugh at that. *sighs* i am soooooooo easily amused…

  32. Duffleglum says:

    Cover art is disgusting.
    I hate how cheap they did this!

    I'll take a snowy Aslan anytime over this

  33. DruidDream says:

    no bloopers? that's sad ):
    On the other hand, the animated short sounds pretty interesting 🙂

  34. Gleeokan says:

    I wonder when it will arrive to Sweden…. hope it won't take too long!!

  35. wait, the commentary doesn't include the kids????? that's just not fun!

  36. icarus says:

    What on earth is going on with the Dawn Treader artwork on those??

    On one you have the proper image of the Dawn Treader with the full sail, on another you have the badly photo-shopped version with the half-sized mast and incomplete sail, and on the third you have the horrendous un-photo shopped picture of the Dawn Treader Set which not only has a half-sized mast and an incomplete sail, but also has the Metal Scaffolding present from shooting that was built to hold the sail up!

    Seriously, is there any way Fox could have put less thought and effort into this?

  37. Peter's BFF says:

    I can't wait for April 8th! Please have bloopers though, by then!

  38. I am about on the edge of swearing reading your comment Anhun. I won't, but it seems that Apted is such an anti-Narnian director it was idiocy to even consider him for the job. Andrew Adamson needs to come back Apted is way too rushed and just terrible for the job.

  39. Cause YouTube is awesome 😀

  40. Ugly Pig says:

    The Norwegian release date is supposedly March 30th, so I would assume Sweden will get it roughly around the same time.

  41. wolfloversk says:

    OH does that say two disc dvd?! It had better (although, again the other one has the better cover art… 😐 But if its multidisk I'm happy 😀

  42. Griffle says:

    Once again: It's so incredibly embarrassing that they keep on releasing artwork for the film of the low quality we've seen. What to say…really!? I guess, from a collector's point of view, it's kind of interesting that they've used three different versions of the Dawn Treader for the three different releases of the film on DVD and BD. The one they've used for the 2-disc set has to be the worst of them though. Looks really weird with the sail like that.

  43. What!!? Still no Bloopers!!!

  44. Not Of This World says:

    What about that upsets you, Swordbrithl?

  45. narnian resident says:

    an animated short??? what could that be???

  46. Anna says:

    personally i don't care at all what adapt has to say about the film because he was an awful director and also people only really watch the commenterys with the actor in it

  47. narnian resident says:

    umm…..im a little disturbed that they had the audacity to put that horrid picture of the Dawn Treader with the half-completed mast and all the poles sticking out on the movie cover………

  48. nic says:

    The other two are really extra good, but the mis-step is for the most important one!

  49. Demor says:

    EWWW I hate that they actually used a picture of the DT without a complete mast. It looks really crappy and unprofessional.

  50. Nathan says:

    this is cool

  51. I LOVE THIS COVER ART!(the middle one at the top)
    Being an artsy person myself I think the photography is wonderful and seeing the boat with land in the background give it a complete look. Much better than when the boat is just floating out in the middle of no where. I'm so glad they changed from the photo of Lucy on the movie poster. Great Job 🙂 Great colors.

  52. I'm sure they will have bloopers! You just have to have faith about these things people!!! I'm sure bloopers are one of the MANY featurettes. 🙂 This will be a great Easter gift 🙂

  53. Fireflower says:

    OHHOIE WHOOOPIEEIEI! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am buying it the minuet the storre opens!!!!

  54. reepicheeps archer says:

    this movie is awsome but just my opinion lol this is great!;)

  55. samuel says:

    hmm, could be about the dufflepuds

  56. Princess Jennifer says:

    Awesome

  57. narnian21 says:

    Actually i'm looking very forward to hearing their explanation as to why Dawn Treader was adapted the way it was. And you know it's not all Apted's fault. He wasn't involved in writing the script. He's directing what was given to him

  58. Connor Rush says:

    Actually it's have=)

  59. Anhun says:

    They talked about it specifically in an interview with Skandar, although I can't remember which one. They also made an allusion to it in an interview with Will and Georgie where she mentioned that they had far fewer takes than they had with Andrew Adamson.

  60. "KingPeter" says:

    The Double DVD Pack looks horrible. Maybe it's just a teaser?!?! But knowing Fox, probably not.
