i was just going over the list and "Narnia" got a couple oscars nominations: it's for best makeup, sound mixing, and visual effects. congrats Disney!!

I really enjoyed Narnia - I'm glad to see that it at least got some recognition.
Thanks tragic!

Cool... I wish they could have earned more, but I guess the Oscars is not really aiming at the Disney-esque crowd. Oh well...

I need to see this before our trip. I read the books many moons ago.

This movie came out while we were on our DL trip last month. They had the world premier there and it was a pretty neat event. For some reason I didn't get a chance to see the movie until a week and a half ago, and it was good. It stuck to the spirit of the book rather well...

i bought this huge book of Narnia that has all 7 books at the end of last semester. I've read three of them and am almost done with King Caspian. I just need some time to finish it and go on to the next book. with school this semester, I can't really find the time to continue reading. i do have to say i've enjoyed the books so far.

My oldest daughter loved the chronicles, but me and my youngest could've waited until the dvd came out.

Narnia was great...great to see it get noticed...good luck...I think they have a good chance...woo hoo from baloo!

I was sort of disappointed by the film. I felt Aslan was not explained well enough before his appearance.

As I told Lil' if the movie was based on a recent story and not an enduring classic, I don't think it would have gotten much attention.

Believe me, I WANTED to love this film, but I only found it "okay."

FireAngel · 01-31-2006

I totally agree with caver, I really thought it was ok. I guess I was expecting more.

**ddoll** · 02-01-2006

OMG! I'm so surprised you guys weren't impressed! I was totally blown away by the movie. I thought it was one of the best I've ever seen!

Weren't you even impressed with the special effects? They made some ground breaking strides in effects just for this film! I bought the making of the film book for DS for Christmas and DH has been reading it instead.

I guess I'm "special effects"-out. Matrix, LoTR, Star Wars--Narnia needed special effects to make it work, but more emphasis on character development would have been much better.

BTW, I thought some of the scenes were somewhat low-budget. Often you'd have the kids in front of a blue screen, and it was obviously blue screen.

I typically like the book better than the movie and that was definitely the case with The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Aslan was good, but I expected more from him, especially since he is a Christ-like figure.

But I did enjoy the movie, in part since I have been waiting for it since I was about 7 years old. Overall it was fun and gets my imagination bubbling...

I want a wardrobe...
