Waaaaay back in 1979, I stayed up one night to watch an animated movie called "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." I absolutely fell in love with the story! Fast forward to 2005 and you'll find me sitting in a movie theatre, watching the trailers for upcoming movies. In true life and all it's glory, I watched in amazement to see they had made a full length film about my favorite childhood cartoon! I couldn't wait for it to come out - and even though I typically hate to see movies in the theatre (people truly are so rude nowadays) we went to see it on the big screen. It was fascinating and beautiful all over again.
This weekend we rented "The Chronicles of Narnia; Prince Caspian." Though it wasn't as great as "The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe," it was a good movie.
If you'd like to see the original animated variety, you can find it on Amazon. Keep in mind this is 1979 animation - you remember, when they used to do this by hand with ink? I now have the original version on DVD and I enjoy it just as much as I did way back when.
"We're in a horrible, repugnant place now where kids are told it's their right and due to be hugely famous. Not good at their job, not good at anything, just hugely famous. This is not sane. Little girls think they'll be famous if they have vast breast implants and might as well die if they don't." James McAvoy (aka Mr. Tumnus)
