good. maybe it will get picked up by someone with a little heart and imagination, who doesn't copy the "Lord of The Rings" model again.

Call the people who did Shreck. Narnia is supposed to be animated.

Mr. Gresham, are you reading?

I was actually glad that the movies had a LOTR feel to it. Both Lewis and Tolkein were very much friends - in fact, it was Tolkien that Lewis gave credit to for his reversion from atheism, although Tolkien was disappointed that Lewis embraced Anglicanism rather than Tolkien's Roman Catholocism.

That being siad, the two were not very far apart in their approach to literature, nor in major theological doctrine, so it is appropiate that the fi,ms have the same "feel".

This could be a face-saving opportunity for New Line, who have totally screwed up the future Hobbit film due to their financial shenanagans...

Hell no! I thought “Lion” was very well done the way it was, and I haven’t seen “Casprian” so I can’t comment on that one.

Are you joking? Hard to tell. Andrew Adamson directed both Narnia films—as well as Shrek I and II. Don't think he would agree with you on the animation thing.

He was actually in a bit of a quandry when Caspian rolled around, because as a fan of the Narnia books, he had already done his version of Reepicheep with Puss… in Boots. He had to come up with a new angle.
