Narnia

[Leslie]

Disney is making a big budget film out of it.

Following collaborations on "Holes," "Ghosts of the Abyss" and the upcoming "Around the World in 80 Days," the Walt Disney Co. has struck a deal with Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz' Walden Media to co-finance and distribute "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."

these are beloved to me, my all time favourite as a kid. I am about to share them with my oldest...it's good timing for me, he'd be finishing the series pretty much as the first movie came out. I don't know that the Disney of today will do it justice though

 

[Ms Ann Thrope]

just be grateful Peter Jackson isn't doing it

there was an older version of the book made into a movie but I dont know if it was the BBC one. I havent read the books in years but I remember really liking it esp the winterland right inside their closet was it?

I LOVED the BBC series, I might not see these movies because it will tarnish my precious memories of that series

(saw the series before I reading the books)

I'm just waiting for the day someone decides to do a couple of movies based on Terry Pratchett's books (hehe - 'specially Wee Free Men).

Come to think of it - The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents would be a wonderful movie for kids.

Anyone remember the book with Mrs Who, Mrs What, and Mrs Which? Damned if I can remember the name of it.
