Dear Disney,
- Please, do not pocahontasize* this wonderful story.
- Please, no Aslan stuffies.
- Please, no sword of Peter or Susan's horn at Toys R Us.
- Please, no Dawn Treader rides at your theme park.
- Please, be true to Lewis' worldview.
I am encouraged by Veith's review, Nicolsi's review and Moring's review. My hope is that this movie will bring Narnia to non-readers (which sadly describes a huge section of our image saturated society).
To readers who are parents. Please read this book to your children before seeing the movie. Please. If you don't, you will miss out on Lewis' storytelling ... which is a truly priceless treasure to unwrap for your children.
Now, just wait till The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader hits the big screen. I will need to purchase more bandwidth for this blog. :-)
* i.e. don't deconstruct a story and shoe horn typical Disney-esque motifs into the story.
