One of my all-time favorite first lines for a story comes from this book: "There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it." It's perfection.
@@ninipookie Then what's the point of any adaptation if you're going to fundamentally change the story and characters? At that point, the filmmakers are just milking it for the name recognition.
Mine was Eustace turning back into a boy, its was my whole youth doctrine theme. Aslan clawing the ground and Eustace feeling a good sort of pain stuck with me forever
This will be also came out when I was much younger and weirdly it was at a time when it seemed like I was phased out of caring for the franchise but I hadn’t known it yet. I still weirdly remember the first two films much better.
I saw it as I was just leaving high school. My friends were all moving on and the scene on the beach with Lucy saying it was their last time in Narnia killed me, it felt like losing my childhood.
It was my understanding that they didn't continue the franchise partly because of the declining box office numbers, but mainly because at the time the crew didn't believe they had the technology and techniques to give the Silver Chair the justice it deserved while staying faithful to the material.
@@rmhartman Definitely agree. Though I guess if this movie had done better critically and in terms of box-office, I feel like Eustace could have carried at least another movie (The Silver Chair) on his "own", though he does take along a new friend. But that really would be it. Afterwards, the movie makers would be tasked with adapting The Horse and his Boy, which has none of the original characters except in passing, and takes place during the events of the last chapter of the first book (when the Pevensies are ruling). Then the Magician's Nephew is a prequel which features Professor Digory and the origins of the white witch, which I think would be kind of cool. But at that point moviegoers would consider both of these as spinoffs, not sequels, which I kind of agree with. And the last book just leans HARD into religion, and the very end is honestly is kinda depressing in general (unless you're super into Christian eschatology) and especially in terms of Eustace's final fate (IYKYK), so that wouldn't be well received by general audiences. The first three books are just the stories most ripe for adaptation into popular movies.
This undeniably showcases Lewis's remarkable brilliance; upon my initial encounter with The Magician's Nephew, I was captivated by the early introduction of the multiverse concept.
Oh the ending gives me chills! My family and I rewatched all these movies last year and I SOBBED at Lucy and Aslan’s conversation at the end. The chills when he said “In your world I have another name” were crazy.
45:31 enter Caspian's bride. In Narnia, stars are living beings, Lilliandil's father is a dying star and was in the book. She ends up marrying Caspian. 55:49 but that WASN'T in the book, so they probably got that from Harry Potter. Skybeam also not in the book. 1:13:06 this movie isn't supposed to have a villain, the mist was created to give it a villain but the book has no villain. It's the only book that doesn't have a villain in it. It's supposed to be a break in Narnia being in trouble. Always called back by trouble in Narnia, this time they were called to have one last fun adventure. Eustace himself along with Jill Pole are in The Silver Chair and all except Susan are reunited in The Last Battle.
I personally want somebody to finally make an adaptation of the Magician's Nephew (book 1 chronologically), because it's SO DIFFERENT from the rest of the series. It feels more like a dark fantasy/ could even have a little bit of borderline horror elements to it if done right.
It is book seven, and the first instance of a "prequel" that I am aware of. It really spoils some things if you read it first, and belongs as book seven.
Eustace is the main character in The Silver Chair and The Last Battle along with a new character, Jill Pole. The only book where you don't follow someone from our world going into Narnia is The Horse and His Boy, which takes place during the reigns of the Pevensies and was always my favorite of all the Narnia books. That is the one book I pray they adapt extremely well, if they do.
One of the things I remember most about watching this movie for the first time is that in the german dub Caspian's accent made his line about raming the sea serpent against the wall sound like he said 'we have to f--k it against the wall'. My best friend and I turned to each other "did he just say...?" To this day we sometimes quote the wrong line randomly 😆
I did! 😂 It was the first thing I noticed when he started to speak. They said he had more of a Spaniard accent in the second film, but in this one, he's just British. Though, you could say that's because he belongs with the Narnian's now, and therefore takes on their accent unknowingly. That's how I'd like to believe it.
We were supposed to get a film adaptation of THE SILVER CHAIR (book 4 in release order; book 6 in chronological order) without Disney/Fox and Walden Media. The film was supposed to be released by Sony and directed by Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger), and that was the last piece of news for that movie (back in 2017). One year later, Netflix announced a full reboot of the series, canceling THE SILVER CHAIR.

"In your world I have another name. You must learn to know me by it. That was the very reason you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there." Probably one of my favorite lines in all of cinema. The words themselves dont hit too hard, but every time i hear them....the chill running down my spine and the goosebumps... just perfect. When i saw it for the first time, the whole series just clicked in my head, and I realized why i loved these movies so much growing up. Why they always make me feel so good. C.S. Lewis was a genius and deserves every bit of praise he received. God surely rewarded him unimaginably for his life of service.
Fun fact, in the 4th book (the one after this movie), it's revealed that Caspian came back and married Lilliandil (the blue star) and they had a son together
Think they reveal that bit about Caspian marrying the star in the very last chapter of thus book. But it gets expanded upon in the silver chair because that story is about caspians son mostly
Even though I consider this the “worst” of the movie adaptations, I still love 1) Eustace and 2) the younger Pevensies taking leadership roles, 3) Reepicheep, and 4) Aslan’s words at the end.
I love this movie even tho it is not my favorite of the 3. It is fascinating to know more about Edmund and Lucy and the way they are feeling specially since they were the youngest and we can imagine they were probably compared to Peter and Susan all the time
I tend to skip the intros. But this channel gets me hocked to watch it all hahah, specially since wicked when you guys started asking each other how are you doing, seems pretty cute 😊

Oh Eustace… 😅 Reminder that this book actually starts: “There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.” 😂
This is the last of the Walden Narnia films. Good observation that the first two were on Disney and the third was on Max. Disney produced the first two films. Both films were profitable. But as we all know, Disney doesn’t just want to make a profit. They want a cash cow. So when Lion, Witch and Wardrobe made $745 million and then Prince Caspian made $420 million (on a $225 million budget) they passed on making a third film. Fox then took Voyage of the Dawn Treader, trimmed the budget to $155 million, and made about $416 million at the box office. All three films were profitable, but creative differences between different entities are what kept a 4th Narnia film from being made. Now it’s been 15 years since the last Narnia film, and we are in a new age of streaming. Netflix has the right to the Narnia films and I hope they at least as good as the Walden Narnia films (if not better).
Eustace returns in The Silver Chair. It was always my favorite Narnia movie, but they never made it for these re-makes. You should check out the original Narnias including The Silver Chair.
After rewatching these I still feel like it’s 1,2,3. As much as I love Prince Caspian and the entire world building it made from the first movie, the first movie just holds a special place in my heart from my childhood. It’ll always be number one for me
I know there's probably zero chance that you will, but I really wish you'd both do reactions to the BBC's "Chronicles of Narnia" TV series from the late 80's/early 90's. It goes one further and includes the next book, "The Silver Chair". One day we might get a solid series comprising all seven of the 'Narnia' books. The BBC series was pivotal in introducing a whole new generation to the stories, and is quite faithful to the books.
This happens to be my favorite Narnia book and least favorite Narnia movie but I will say Eustice is perfectly cast the film looks great and the ending is done well. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.
This is the final film in the NARNIA CHRONICLES, as the box returns were declining. In 2018, a fourth film, THE SILVER CHAIR was cancelled, yet Netflix bought the rights to the book series in 2020, with Oscar Nominated director Greta Gerwig being attached to direct a reboot to The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
I hope they do it right. These were my favorite books growing up and are what got me into reading in general. In my mind, they are the perfect intro into fantasy books for kids.
@@carsonelliott6522 To start it off again, duh. Yes, for those of us who have already watched them it's a bit annoying but you can't expect studios dumping big money into these movies to be okay with a lot of people not having a clue as to what's going on.
It sounds like they may be starting with the first book & doing the whole series not just the LWW, because they're looking for two main kids for this first movie, not the four pevensies. From what I've heard atleast
Based on recent casting news, they are definitely not adapting that one first again, but maybe one of the other books that never had an adaptation like The Magician's Nephew
You should check out Will Poulter’s first film that was 3 years before this - ‘Son Of Rambow’. It was the first film I saw him in, and he gives a really great performance for such a young actor - it’s no surprise how well he’s done for himself!
So this will be was 15 years ago. At that time I thought Will Poulter was great in this movie and I said to myself, I can’t wait for him to grow up and see him in other movies. Then I completely forgot about him, but still today’s day will is very much of a good actor and I just have to be more active and trying to see the movie season when I can, but he was great in this one
For myself personally, I enjoyed that they made voyage of the Dawn treader because it was part of the storyline that wrapped up the original for characters as far as the books are concerned if I am not mistaken. So essentially lion witch wardrobe, introduced the children Prince Caspian covered the two older children, coming of age and not coming back and then this one was to wrap up the other two children coming of age and not coming back. About the other books I think deal with specifically characters within Narnia and I think the useless character does have like one more story.
I remember this being the first film that I was hyped to see, and watching the constantly on RUclips, because it buffered so much. Before then the only trailers I'd seen was bonus content on DVDs. Since I've know this film since I was about 10, when I couldn't tell the quality of visual effects apart, I didn't realise how well this one in particular held up. Thanks to the source material having so many random stop-gaps, each island with its own magical gimmick, it leads to a lot of creativity with visualising everything.
I hope Greta gerwig expands on Lucy finding her individuality that this movie fell short of. Susan has to take up the role of a protective older sister to a mother figure when their mother wasnt there, whereas Lucy started viewing her as perfect during their time in Narnia. Lucy was still finding herself at Susan’s age while taking care of Gale, when Susan who had a strong sense of identity was taking care of Lucy. As well as Lucy really being 15 years older mentally than her current body due to that time Ruling in Narnia after defeating the White Witch. In the Dawn Treader book Lucy was 10(mentally 25), Edmund 12(27), Eustace 9, and Caspian 16!
I wouldn't count on her doing anything that pains the series or the themes in a good light. Doubt less Lucy and Susan are going to show up and be the saviors while their brothers muck everything up due to not listening to the wahmen. Why you think she or Netflix are interested in preserving the original story is beyond me.
@ Narnia is a period piece just like how Greta slightly changed the period piece Little Women and i liked it mainly for how the dialogue flowed. It felt real like how women talk, and in the original piece CS Lewis gave Susan and Lucy weapons. CS Lewis let the sisters participate in the war but not as much as the brothers, even Anna Popplewell (Susan’s actress) ask to use the bow more in the Prince Caspian movie. I think she can boost up the Sisters Roles without them imposing on the Brothers and Kings. Susan and Lucy have lots of bonding time in the books, and I think Gerwig could focus on the growth of the bond of Peter and Edmund too. Susan helping Lucy start finding her individuality and Peter and Ed making amends and communicating more. I think Gerwig does have the capacity to paint Narnia positively, afterall even as someone who left their Faith, i still love Narnia for their themes on Hope and having a selfless goodness that helps others. Feminism and Faith can walk hand in hand it just takes conversation to figure how to thread that needle to accurately display it to the general public.
@KaraOni13 I don't think you understand what I'm saying at all. Of course she could boost up the female characters' roles in combat without overshadowing the males: but she's still going to overshadow them anyway. Furthermore even doing that changes the very important vision and message of their roles in the first place. You don't seem to get the fact that media is under a constant and direct attack to take the name of a property and twist it to fit a political ideology instead of staying true to what the creator intended. At every point in time, projects like The Witcher or Rings of Power *could* have stayed true to the source material, but they don't *WANT* to stay true to the source material. Furthermore, yes feminism and faith can coincide. Feminism and faith *in God* though? No, there is no synergy there at all. Feminism is very strictly anti-God and anti traditional values.
@ i dont mean important in combat alone, i meant as rulers too. To Rule is to be the deciding choice to take initiative for a kingdom. Wanting to be equal shouldn’t be an “political ideology” but instead should be a standard. A Queen should have as much power as a King, especially if the rulers are siblings. There are Christian Feminists, who believe Belief in a God and Women empowerment walk hand and hand. “All people are created equal in God’s Image. If Christ died for all to be set free, why would some be more equal than others in that freedom.” it is a reasoned change if Gerwig chooses to go this route.
@KaraOni13 Except Christianity already stands for equality. If equality is what feminism meant, then they would be Christians, not feminists. Feminism is an ideology that states that masculinity is bad and femininity is good, and that females need to be elevated above males. It rejects the idea of gender roles so long as the result of them is seen negatively for females. That's what feminism is, it has nothing to do with equality and it never has. It's always been about tearing down marriage and the family unit.
They probably did stop because the films successively did worse, and it would have been very difficult if they wanted to go all the way because the Pevensies are in the last book and they would have grown up too much. But mostly I think it's because the next book is an incredibly weird and unsettling fever dream with very little wonder or fun in it. It's basically an un-adaptable nightmare. The last book has a good portion of it centered solely around some very odd plot with a donkey and an ape.... The only book left with some adaptional value is actually the first one, The magicians nephew.
I think a miniseries or a single-season TV show would have done this book better service, tbh. If it had been made 10-15 years later when TV shows being released on streaming services really took off, I believe that's what might have happened.
I will never understand the hate it got. The book didn't actually have any purpose but side quests. This movie just jumbled the order in which they met the lord's and added a villain to showcase that Pevensie siblings are bought up again for a reason.
@ sure, it added a stupid looking green mist. But your comment about side quests is pretty valid. My biggest issue with the movie adaptation is that they cheapened Eustace's character arc. In particular they completely changed and cheapened his dragon-back-to-human transformation. Originally he had a surprise meeting with Aslan, where it was shown he was unable to take his dragon-skin off to be "bathed," and Aslan had to do it for him. Under Aslan the process was more painful but also considerably more effective. This was a CLEAR reference to the Christian ideas of the burden of sin, repentance, and justification and the practice of baptism. There was also a significant conversation that Eustace and Edmund had after that where they actually made things right. Left completely out of the movie. What did they replace it with? Eustace saves the day, gets superficially hurt, undergoes a painless transformation, and gets immediately forgiven with almost no apology.
Low key annoys me how in all 3 reviews you keep saying “they skipped the first book” The magicians nephew is a prequel! the lion the witch and the wardrobe was the first book published. just not the first book chronologically So Greta Gerwig adapting the lion the witch and the wardrobe isn’t “skipping the first book again” lol Prequels work best when you alresdy know the story Wardrobe introduced kids to narnia, and then years later they could read about the beginning in the prequel Maybe one day they’ll also adapt the prequel. That would be cool But it makes perfect sense to adapt it again. They aren’t skipping anything
Interesting that you wanted a better antagonist than the mist. In the book there is NO antagonist - the film created the mist which I think was a good idea.
My favorite out of all of them ! I always cry like a baby at the end. What a journey it has been. I grew up with the books and later the movies. I was heartbroken when the last movie came out. 😭💞 Another movie with the same vibes is The Spiderwick Chronicles. ❤
I will NEVER forgive this movie for botching the pool scene where Eustace transformed back into a boy. They skimmed over it, when I feel that is the real turning point in his character arc. If you have time, read the actual excerpt because it is beautiful and gritty.
I absolutely loved this movie. By far it was my favorite of the three. I loved the whole idea of the movie and how well they managed to make Eustace feel like the annoying little brother who gains likability throughout the movie.
One really cool detail Lewis came up with was that all the Narnian stars are people. He puts it this way in the book Eustice "In our world a star is a huge ball of flaming gas. Ramandu "Even in your world my son that is not what a star is but only what it is made of.
The first thing I remember Will Poulter being in was the School of Comedy back in 2009, where he performed amazingly playing many characters, most notably Van men. Later in maze Runner, We're the Millers and so many more films and shows.
Caspian marries Lilliandial, btw! In the books, Susan is judged as a non-believer harshly. She's cut off because Lewis believed she was too focused on the good life to ever be "Christian enough" for him. It's where Lewis' strict beliefs play in as most people will also say, if you don't believe in Jesus, you're "unsaved and bound for hell". I've had this said to me directly on many occasions, so others can save themselves the trouble before commenting.
As far as I understand, it’s not because Susan grew up - they were all expected to do so. And it’s not because she forgot Narnia; it’s because she forgot Aslan. The children were to honor him in their own world, not just in Narnia. She also didn’t happen to be with them on that train ride anyways. (I believe if she had been, she’d have gone with the others.) She is still a queen of Narnia; “once a king of queen of Narnia, always a king or queen.” In CS Lewis’s own words in a letter to a concerned reader in 1955: “[T]here is plenty of time for her to mend, and perhaps she will get to Aslan’s country in the end-in her own way…. I could not write that story myself. Not that I have no hope of Susan’s ever getting to Aslan’s country; but because I have a feeling that the story of her journey would be longer and more like a grown-up novel than I wanted to write. But I may be mistaken. Why not try it yourself?”
I mean the people saying that would be right, yeah. Jesus Himself says it. That's what John 3:16 is all about. It's literally the cornerstone of Christianity.
This is the one movie of the three that I *almost* dislike, because they changed *SOOOO* much. Yeah, yeah... I understand why they did; I saw the "making of" feature(s?) for it -- bringing in previous plot elements & characters, as "unifying"; bringing in a centralized "villain" (The Dark Isle and The Corrupting Green Mist) instead of a series of adventures with each island; making things "more exciting," etc; but IMO the bigger the change they made, the more hamhanded they did so. And it wasn't just one overlying Big Change; it was *many*. The Dark Isle, The Corrupting Green Mist, the *sacrifices* to The Mist, the Seven Swords, the stowaway girl, the whole "grand ending battles" at The Dark Isle and Aslan's Table, switching the islands around in order of encounter, and The Return of Frikkin Jadis fer pete's sake! (Though I do love seeing Tilda Swinton.... 😁 ) It was too much. That said, I do like what they did with Eustace. As annoying as he is, he's not nearly as bad as in the book; I think this is because the medium of film allowed them to bring in the humor around his character -- his ending quips, the timing of his obstinacy with the surrounding action, etc. I also like how Reepicheep begins mentoring him so early on; in the book, their friendship didn't grow until Eustace became a dragon (which happened much earlier on). And, though it *is* one of The Big Changes, I do like that he had a Hero's Arc redemption, though I dislike the rest of the changes of those climactic scenes. In the book, he just became a nicer guy, and did develop courage (he helped fight off the sea serpent, which, again, came earlier, and was a standalone Random Encounter). I still enjoy this movie, but I really have to push past my disappointment with how very much they mangled the original story.😮
I like seeing your reactions! Thank you for reviewing all three of these movies But Agor, please put down your phone when John talk! Unless when you need to google something
I'm also a sibling in a family of four! I'm the Lucy in the family. Eustace shows up in the Silver Chair and The Last Battle. I don't think this film did badly in box office (definitely declined), I think they just never got the other movies off the ground. My running theory is if they'd treated it like a 7 movie series from the start instead of a continuation of a trilogy, they might've gone further.
It's funny how you guys get introduced to a young Will Poulter before his career took off. It was the other way round for me 😂 saw this film in cinemas and I didn't expect him to get so many future roles when all the other young actors didn't 😅 he's definitely a great actor
This one’s actually my favorite after the first movie, I don’t understand the hate. I wish they would have continued the movies especially with Magicians Nephew.
My first Will Poulter film was "Son of Rambow" about 2 kids who have a love for filmmaking and want to make their own version of Rambo. Such a good, lighthearted, feel good story. Should definitely cover it one day.
Harkening back to the previous movie, I like to think that the song towards the end of Prince Caspian "The Call" was referencing this movie somewhat. A lyric in that song goes like, "Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light". In this movie, they follow a star to where they need to go. In the song, I believe it's referring to someone back home during war times that you hold on to and make it all worth it. Thought that was a neat coincidence.
Nice video. Not a criticism, I like your insights. I tend to think prices could go up if BTC skyrockets. But I understand the logic of Liam Scott estimates. My view is that BTC will break 100k, maybe hit 140k ATH, if conditions are right. But there are larger forces at play now. We are moving into very unknown territory. And these entities are cunning. I think there is massive manipulation ahead. If BTC survives, well, we are probably in for a windfall. But it won't be smooth sailing getting there. Stay strong...
I was so excited when they told Eustace there'd be some more use of him because I thought it meant they were doing the Silver Chair...and then it just dropped off
Eustace returns in the next book , " The Silver Chair ". Caspian ends up married to the blue star woman in that book as well. They adapted the first 4 books into movies back in the 80s. I have those versions and the ones you've watched. I grew up with the 80s versions.
IIRC, Tom Baker was Puddleglum in the BBC "Silver Chair" Checking the cast for the upcoming Netflix "Silver Chair" ... He's doing it again. To be fair, he's perfect for the part.
Super controversial opinion but this is actually my favourite movie 😅 i will always love the first one because of nostalgia and i would agree it is objectively a better movie, but i just loved the fantasy storyline of this one, as well as the chatacter progression of Eustace.
Funny, "Voyage" is on Disney+ in the Philippines. If I remember correctly, the Monopods appeared in the last part of the book. The Island of Dreams was I think their first adventure, and Eustace becoming a dragon happened somewhere in the middle of the book.
So here is what I think if I remember from back in the day when these movies were coming out. It was going to be difficult to do a continuous story with the original four actors because when production would go in for each of the movies, they would be a lot older than what they were supposed to be so I believe they went with the books that reflected the age that the actors would actually be at that time. So there were a bunch of avengers of the four original children, and in the letter box when they grew up, they would not be involved as much, but they could not do it logically in movies because by the time production will come around there will be a lot older than what they were supposed to be in the books so they went with the stories that fit the age of the actors

I would have loved them to make next movie because Eustis was the main character in next film along with a new character named Jill Pull
Originally the original live action films had 4 films out this one and one called the silver chair that one had Eustis in it as well
Would you guys ever react to from Paris with love? ❤loved the vibes you guys bring
One of my all-time favorite first lines for a story comes from this book: "There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."
It's perfection.
me too.
Coming from Clive Staples Lewis, it's personal lol
It's genious
@@Lyrazelit's awesomeness!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
I was literally coming to the comments to say this!
They really nailed Eustace's character is this. All his most annoying lines come directly from the book.
They might have nailed his character initially, but they completely butchered his character arc.
@@carsonelliott6522 Yup. They very clearly didn't understand the character at all.
@@arbee89whatever. If everything is same in the movies as the book it’s super boring and is just copy pasting things to screen.
@@ninipookie Then what's the point of any adaptation if you're going to fundamentally change the story and characters?
At that point, the filmmakers are just milking it for the name recognition.
@@arbee89 sigh. There’s no point in speaking to book lovers. So I’m not gonna bother. Enjoy your books
This movie came out when I was a teenager questioning myself the same way Lucy does. The scene with her and Aslan and the spell gutted me in theaters.
Me too
Mine was Eustace turning back into a boy, its was my whole youth doctrine theme. Aslan clawing the ground and Eustace feeling a good sort of pain stuck with me forever
This will be also came out when I was much younger and weirdly it was at a time when it seemed like I was phased out of caring for the franchise but I hadn’t known it yet. I still weirdly remember the first two films much better.
I saw it as I was just leaving high school. My friends were all moving on and the scene on the beach with Lucy saying it was their last time in Narnia killed me, it felt like losing my childhood.
i can't believe not one of the pevensie siblings had any other breakout role in movies after this. and funnily enough eustace became big.
Well Skandar left movies to do what he actually wanted to do
they all got a good amount of acting work after Narnia. but yeah they didnt get as big as Will
I always thought one of the daughters from Downton Abbey was played by Susan’s actress, blew my mind to realize they were completely unrelated
@@cthulhuwu_ she did get a major role in the show reign though!!
They did well in shows, Skandar on the other hand became a politician I believe.
It was my understanding that they didn't continue the franchise partly because of the declining box office numbers, but mainly because at the time the crew didn't believe they had the technology and techniques to give the Silver Chair the justice it deserved while staying faithful to the material.
And given the cast change (no Pevensies) it was a good place to put the series on hiatus.
@@rmhartman Definitely agree. Though I guess if this movie had done better critically and in terms of box-office, I feel like Eustace could have carried at least another movie (The Silver Chair) on his "own", though he does take along a new friend. But that really would be it.
Afterwards, the movie makers would be tasked with adapting The Horse and his Boy, which has none of the original characters except in passing, and takes place during the events of the last chapter of the first book (when the Pevensies are ruling). Then the Magician's Nephew is a prequel which features Professor Digory and the origins of the white witch, which I think would be kind of cool. But at that point moviegoers would consider both of these as spinoffs, not sequels, which I kind of agree with.
And the last book just leans HARD into religion, and the very end is honestly is kinda depressing in general (unless you're super into Christian eschatology) and especially in terms of Eustace's final fate (IYKYK), so that wouldn't be well received by general audiences. The first three books are just the stories most ripe for adaptation into popular movies.
I love the Silver Chair so much, I really hope that it eventually gets made ♡
That or the horse & his boy. They both deserve a special spot. Honestly the horse & his boy would be perfect now cause of the cameo of 2 of the kids
This undeniably showcases Lewis's remarkable brilliance; upon my initial encounter with The Magician's Nephew, I was captivated by the early introduction of the multiverse concept.
This book opens "there was a boy called Eustace Clarence Stubb, and he almost deserved it."
They really captured that here.
Oh the ending gives me chills! My family and I rewatched all these movies last year and I SOBBED at Lucy and Aslan’s conversation at the end. The chills when he said “In your world I have another name” were crazy.
You mean Liam? He also has a daughter
@Ghostmaker01 they mean Aslan is saying in her world he goes by another name meaning he is God
@@It.might.be.spidey clearly you didn’t get the joke (taken reference) with the same actor Liam neeson
@Ghostmaker01 yeah no, that went over my head
45:31 enter Caspian's bride.
In Narnia, stars are living beings, Lilliandil's father is a dying star and was in the book. She ends up marrying Caspian.
55:49 but that WASN'T in the book, so they probably got that from Harry Potter. Skybeam also not in the book.
1:13:06 this movie isn't supposed to have a villain, the mist was created to give it a villain but the book has no villain. It's the only book that doesn't have a villain in it. It's supposed to be a break in Narnia being in trouble. Always called back by trouble in Narnia, this time they were called to have one last fun adventure.
Eustace himself along with Jill Pole are in The Silver Chair and all except Susan are reunited in The Last Battle.
I personally want somebody to finally make an adaptation of the Magician's Nephew (book 1 chronologically), because it's SO DIFFERENT from the rest of the series. It feels more like a dark fantasy/ could even have a little bit of borderline horror elements to it if done right.
Charn on the big screen is something I've wanted to see for a very long time now
Charn is DARK story
It is book seven, and the first instance of a "prequel" that I am aware of. It really spoils some things if you read it first, and belongs as book seven.
@@rmhartmanno it doesn't. It takes place at THE BEGINNING. I think you are thinking of The Last Battle.
@@rmhartmanI read it first.
Eustace is the main character in The Silver Chair and The Last Battle along with a new character, Jill Pole. The only book where you don't follow someone from our world going into Narnia is The Horse and His Boy, which takes place during the reigns of the Pevensies and was always my favorite of all the Narnia books. That is the one book I pray they adapt extremely well, if they do.
One of the things I remember most about watching this movie for the first time is that in the german dub Caspian's accent made his line about raming the sea serpent against the wall sound like he said 'we have to f--k it against the wall'. My best friend and I turned to each other "did he just say...?"
To this day we sometimes quote the wrong line randomly 😆
This one is actually my favorite. The transitions going to and from Narnia are the best.
No-one picking up on Caspian’s change of accent in this movie? 😂
I did! 😂 It was the first thing I noticed when he started to speak. They said he had more of a Spaniard accent in the second film, but in this one, he's just British. Though, you could say that's because he belongs with the Narnian's now, and therefore takes on their accent unknowingly. That's how I'd like to believe it.
Eustace is in this, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle
We were supposed to get a film adaptation of THE SILVER CHAIR (book 4 in release order; book 6 in chronological order) without Disney/Fox and Walden Media. The film was supposed to be released by Sony and directed by Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger), and that was the last piece of news for that movie (back in 2017). One year later, Netflix announced a full reboot of the series, canceling THE SILVER CHAIR.
Eustace is in three books - this one, the Silver Chair (with a new character called Jill Pole) and the final book, the Last Battle (also with Jill)

That Will Poulter mo cap joke is underrated as hell.
"In your world I have another name. You must learn to know me by it. That was the very reason you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there." Probably one of my favorite lines in all of cinema. The words themselves dont hit too hard, but every time i hear them....the chill running down my spine and the goosebumps... just perfect. When i saw it for the first time, the whole series just clicked in my head, and I realized why i loved these movies so much growing up. Why they always make me feel so good.
C.S. Lewis was a genius and deserves every bit of praise he received. God surely rewarded him unimaginably for his life of service.
Yet the back story and situation that inspired him writing this 🥲 bittersweet
About the production values:
I saw a traveling exhibit of props and materials from the first one. They really were beautiful pieces. Pure artistry.
This isn't my favorite of the three Narnia films but it still has the ability to make me get a little teary-eyed at the end
Fun fact, in the 4th book (the one after this movie), it's revealed that Caspian came back and married Lilliandil (the blue star) and they had a son together
Think they reveal that bit about Caspian marrying the star in the very last chapter of thus book. But it gets expanded upon in the silver chair because that story is about caspians son mostly
Sadly, 3 declining movies in a 5 year span at the box office didn't warrant disney to make a 4th movie
And yet, Snow White is happening.
My dad loves Eustace and this movie so much lol 15 years later and he doesn’t even know Will Poulter’s name he still calls him Eustace
Gotta love Lion Neeson 🦁
Even though I consider this the “worst” of the movie adaptations, I still love 1) Eustace and 2) the younger Pevensies taking leadership roles, 3) Reepicheep, and 4) Aslan’s words at the end.
37:18 Andrew's Gandalf impersonation was on point 😂😂
I love this movie even tho it is not my favorite of the 3. It is fascinating to know more about Edmund and Lucy and the way they are feeling specially since they were the youngest and we can imagine they were probably compared to Peter and Susan all the time
Ikr, I loved that it gave more importance to Edmund and Lucy.
Seeing this back when it came out, I could tell Will Poulter was gonna be a big star in the future. He's an incredible actor.
The next one -- The Silver Chair -- continues the story with Eustace and a new companion. It's a shame that Poulter didn't get that chance.
I tend to skip the intros. But this channel gets me hocked to watch it all hahah, specially since wicked when you guys started asking each other how are you doing, seems pretty cute 😊
Oh Eustace… 😅 Reminder that this book actually starts:
“There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.” 😂
Honestly one of my favourite lines ever written
This is the last of the Walden Narnia films. Good observation that the first two were on Disney and the third was on Max. Disney produced the first two films. Both films were profitable. But as we all know, Disney doesn’t just want to make a profit. They want a cash cow. So when Lion, Witch and Wardrobe made $745 million and then Prince Caspian made $420 million (on a $225 million budget) they passed on making a third film. Fox then took Voyage of the Dawn Treader, trimmed the budget to $155 million, and made about $416 million at the box office. All three films were profitable, but creative differences between different entities are what kept a 4th Narnia film from being made. Now it’s been 15 years since the last Narnia film, and we are in a new age of streaming. Netflix has the right to the Narnia films and I hope they at least as good as the Walden Narnia films (if not better).
Eustace returns in The Silver Chair. It was always my favorite Narnia movie, but they never made it for these re-makes. You should check out the original Narnias including The Silver Chair.
Now that we've reached the end... for now... how would you RANK these 3 Narnia Movies???
1st one will always be top tier
After rewatching these I still feel like it’s 1,2,3. As much as I love Prince Caspian and the entire world building it made from the first movie, the first movie just holds a special place in my heart from my childhood. It’ll always be number one for me
Goes in release order for me. 1st one is just so nostalgic and special to me
Release order
For me i liked the 1 and 2 movie
I know there's probably zero chance that you will, but I really wish you'd both do reactions to the BBC's "Chronicles of Narnia" TV series from the late 80's/early 90's. It goes one further and includes the next book, "The Silver Chair". One day we might get a solid series comprising all seven of the 'Narnia' books. The BBC series was pivotal in introducing a whole new generation to the stories, and is quite faithful to the books.
Simon Pegg voices Reepicheep in this film as the director felt Peggs voice was more mature and suited the character better.
Pegg is better for this role in my opinion. He's smoother
One of those rare movies that made me cry. The ending killed me as a kid when I first saw it lol
This happens to be my favorite Narnia book and least favorite Narnia movie but I will say Eustice is perfectly cast the film looks great and the ending is done well. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.
I remember the plot of this movie much better than the rest because It was the only one I had on dvd and it was my go to when I was sick off school
This is the final film in the NARNIA CHRONICLES, as the box returns were declining. In 2018, a fourth film, THE SILVER CHAIR was cancelled, yet Netflix bought the rights to the book series in 2020, with Oscar Nominated director Greta Gerwig being attached to direct a reboot to The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
I hope they do it right. These were my favorite books growing up and are what got me into reading in general. In my mind, they are the perfect intro into fantasy books for kids.
We've had TWO versions of LWW. WHY do we need a THIRD? smh
@@carsonelliott6522 To start it off again, duh. Yes, for those of us who have already watched them it's a bit annoying but you can't expect studios dumping big money into these movies to be okay with a lot of people not having a clue as to what's going on.
It sounds like they may be starting with the first book & doing the whole series not just the LWW, because they're looking for two main kids for this first movie, not the four pevensies. From what I've heard atleast
Based on recent casting news, they are definitely not adapting that one first again, but maybe one of the other books that never had an adaptation like The Magician's Nephew
It's called a cove. Shout out to the awesome aussie actor Gary Sweet as
Lord Drinian.
You should check out Will Poulter’s first film that was 3 years before this - ‘Son Of Rambow’. It was the first film I saw him in, and he gives a really great performance for such a young actor - it’s no surprise how well he’s done for himself!
That movie is so great!
So this will be was 15 years ago. At that time I thought Will Poulter was great in this movie and I said to myself, I can’t wait for him to grow up and see him in other movies. Then I completely forgot about him, but still today’s day will is very much of a good actor and I just have to be more active and trying to see the movie season when I can, but he was great in this one
13:32 In case you didn't know by the end of this, Narnia is a flat earth.
For myself personally, I enjoyed that they made voyage of the Dawn treader because it was part of the storyline that wrapped up the original for characters as far as the books are concerned if I am not mistaken. So essentially lion witch wardrobe, introduced the children Prince Caspian covered the two older children, coming of age and not coming back and then this one was to wrap up the other two children coming of age and not coming back. About the other books I think deal with specifically characters within Narnia and I think the useless character does have like one more story.
Illustrations during the credits are the original illustrations by Pauline Baynes.
Cool! Love them. 😊
You need to watch Son of Rambow for an even younger Will Poulter, he's fantastic in it!
I must watch that again sometime.
Underrated movie! And at the time I remember seeing this in theaters and thinking the dragon looked quite good.
I remember this being the first film that I was hyped to see, and watching the constantly on RUclips, because it buffered so much. Before then the only trailers I'd seen was bonus content on DVDs.
Since I've know this film since I was about 10, when I couldn't tell the quality of visual effects apart, I didn't realise how well this one in particular held up. Thanks to the source material having so many random stop-gaps, each island with its own magical gimmick, it leads to a lot of creativity with visualising everything.
In this movie, Lucy had a big growth spurt between the second one and the third one and she’s definitely taller and looks older
I hope Greta gerwig expands on Lucy finding her individuality that this movie fell short of. Susan has to take up the role of a protective older sister to a mother figure when their mother wasnt there, whereas Lucy started viewing her as perfect during their time in Narnia. Lucy was still finding herself at Susan’s age while taking care of Gale, when Susan who had a strong sense of identity was taking care of Lucy. As well as Lucy really being 15 years older mentally than her current body due to that time Ruling in Narnia after defeating the White Witch. In the Dawn Treader book Lucy was 10(mentally 25), Edmund 12(27), Eustace 9, and Caspian 16!
I wouldn't count on her doing anything that pains the series or the themes in a good light. Doubt less Lucy and Susan are going to show up and be the saviors while their brothers muck everything up due to not listening to the wahmen. Why you think she or Netflix are interested in preserving the original story is beyond me.
@ Narnia is a period piece just like how Greta slightly changed the period piece Little Women and i liked it mainly for how the dialogue flowed. It felt real like how women talk, and in the original piece CS Lewis gave Susan and Lucy weapons. CS Lewis let the sisters participate in the war but not as much as the brothers, even Anna Popplewell (Susan’s actress) ask to use the bow more in the Prince Caspian movie. I think she can boost up the Sisters Roles without them imposing on the Brothers and Kings. Susan and Lucy have lots of bonding time in the books, and I think Gerwig could focus on the growth of the bond of Peter and Edmund too. Susan helping Lucy start finding her individuality and Peter and Ed making amends and communicating more. I think Gerwig does have the capacity to paint Narnia positively, afterall even as someone who left their Faith, i still love Narnia for their themes on Hope and having a selfless goodness that helps others. Feminism and Faith can walk hand in hand it just takes conversation to figure how to thread that needle to accurately display it to the general public.
@KaraOni13 I don't think you understand what I'm saying at all. Of course she could boost up the female characters' roles in combat without overshadowing the males: but she's still going to overshadow them anyway. Furthermore even doing that changes the very important vision and message of their roles in the first place. You don't seem to get the fact that media is under a constant and direct attack to take the name of a property and twist it to fit a political ideology instead of staying true to what the creator intended. At every point in time, projects like The Witcher or Rings of Power *could* have stayed true to the source material, but they don't *WANT* to stay true to the source material.
Furthermore, yes feminism and faith can coincide. Feminism and faith *in God* though? No, there is no synergy there at all. Feminism is very strictly anti-God and anti traditional values.
@ i dont mean important in combat alone, i meant as rulers too. To Rule is to be the deciding choice to take initiative for a kingdom. Wanting to be equal shouldn’t be an “political ideology” but instead should be a standard. A Queen should have as much power as a King, especially if the rulers are siblings. There are Christian Feminists, who believe Belief in a God and Women empowerment walk hand and hand. “All people are created equal in God’s Image. If Christ died for all to be set free, why would some be more equal than others in that freedom.” it is a reasoned change if Gerwig chooses to go this route.
@KaraOni13 Except Christianity already stands for equality. If equality is what feminism meant, then they would be Christians, not feminists. Feminism is an ideology that states that masculinity is bad and femininity is good, and that females need to be elevated above males. It rejects the idea of gender roles so long as the result of them is seen negatively for females. That's what feminism is, it has nothing to do with equality and it never has. It's always been about tearing down marriage and the family unit.
In the books Caspian marries the Blue Star
Eustace is hilarious 🤣🤣.
24:00 - COVE - A small, sheltered bay or coastal inlet usually circular or oval-shaped.
They probably did stop because the films successively did worse, and it would have been very difficult if they wanted to go all the way because the Pevensies are in the last book and they would have grown up too much. But mostly I think it's because the next book is an incredibly weird and unsettling fever dream with very little wonder or fun in it. It's basically an un-adaptable nightmare. The last book has a good portion of it centered solely around some very odd plot with a donkey and an ape.... The only book left with some adaptional value is actually the first one, The magicians nephew.
The book didn't have too much of an overall plot, so I like what they did for adapting it into a film to make all the island-hopping more cohesive.
I think a miniseries or a single-season TV show would have done this book better service, tbh. If it had been made 10-15 years later when TV shows being released on streaming services really took off, I believe that's what might have happened.
I will never understand the hate it got. The book didn't actually have any purpose but side quests. This movie just jumbled the order in which they met the lord's and added a villain to showcase that Pevensie siblings are bought up again for a reason.
@ sure, it added a stupid looking green mist. But your comment about side quests is pretty valid.
My biggest issue with the movie adaptation is that they cheapened Eustace's character arc. In particular they completely changed and cheapened his dragon-back-to-human transformation. Originally he had a surprise meeting with Aslan, where it was shown he was unable to take his dragon-skin off to be "bathed," and Aslan had to do it for him. Under Aslan the process was more painful but also considerably more effective.
This was a CLEAR reference to the Christian ideas of the burden of sin, repentance, and justification and the practice of baptism.
There was also a significant conversation that Eustace and Edmund had after that where they actually made things right. Left completely out of the movie.
What did they replace it with? Eustace saves the day, gets superficially hurt, undergoes a painless transformation, and gets immediately forgiven with almost no apology.
Low key annoys me how in all 3 reviews you keep saying “they skipped the first book”
The magicians nephew is a prequel! the lion the witch and the wardrobe was the first book published. just not the first book chronologically
So Greta Gerwig adapting the lion the witch and the wardrobe isn’t “skipping the first book again” lol
Prequels work best when you alresdy know the story
Wardrobe introduced kids to narnia, and then years later they could read about the beginning in the prequel
Maybe one day they’ll also adapt the prequel. That would be cool
But it makes perfect sense to adapt it again. They aren’t skipping anything
They kept talking about books when they don't even remember what happened in books 😂
Eustace returns with a new friend Jill Pole in the Silver Chair
Interesting that you wanted a better antagonist than the mist. In the book there is NO antagonist - the film created the mist which I think was a good idea.
I WISHED THE CONTINUED THE FRANCHISE. THIS THE BEST ONE
Edmund Pevensie → Salazar Slytherin
Eustace is in 3 books.
FYI, Silver Chair is my favorite Narnia book. I'm mad that they didn't continue with it
My favorite out of all of them ! I always cry like a baby at the end. What a journey it has been. I grew up with the books and later the movies. I was heartbroken when the last movie came out. 😭💞
Another movie with the same vibes is The Spiderwick Chronicles. ❤
i’ve never loved this one because of how different the vibe is from the first two but it’s still fun
I will NEVER forgive this movie for botching the pool scene where Eustace transformed back into a boy. They skimmed over it, when I feel that is the real turning point in his character arc. If you have time, read the actual excerpt because it is beautiful and gritty.
12:05 Caspian hasn’t got his accent any more
I absolutely loved this movie. By far it was my favorite of the three. I loved the whole idea of the movie and how well they managed to make Eustace feel like the annoying little brother who gains likability throughout the movie.
One really cool detail Lewis came up with was that all the Narnian stars are people. He puts it this way in the book Eustice "In our world a star is a huge ball of flaming gas. Ramandu "Even in your world my son that is not what a star is but only what it is made of.
“Is he one of the seven ?”
“Homelander”😭😭😭😭😭
The first thing I remember Will Poulter being in was the School of Comedy back in 2009, where he performed amazingly playing many characters, most notably Van men.
Later in maze Runner, We're the Millers and so many more films and shows.
Susan and Peter was in the trailer
Caspian looks cute in. This one
Susan and Liliandl look beautiful
broke my heart in two saying goodbye to this world and these characters.
Caspian marries Lilliandial, btw! In the books, Susan is judged as a non-believer harshly. She's cut off because Lewis believed she was too focused on the good life to ever be "Christian enough" for him. It's where Lewis' strict beliefs play in as most people will also say, if you don't believe in Jesus, you're "unsaved and bound for hell". I've had this said to me directly on many occasions, so others can save themselves the trouble before commenting.
Lewis is correct, sounds harsh, but in reality. It's true
@@jeniasmackay7931 sure buddy
As far as I understand, it’s not because Susan grew up - they were all expected to do so. And it’s not because she forgot Narnia; it’s because she forgot Aslan. The children were to honor him in their own world, not just in Narnia. She also didn’t happen to be with them on that train ride anyways. (I believe if she had been, she’d have gone with the others.) She is still a queen of Narnia; “once a king of queen of Narnia, always a king or queen.”
In CS Lewis’s own words in a letter to a concerned reader in 1955: “[T]here is plenty of time for her to mend, and perhaps she will get to Aslan’s country in the end-in her own way…. I could not write that story myself. Not that I have no hope of Susan’s ever getting to Aslan’s country; but because I have a feeling that the story of her journey would be longer and more like a grown-up novel than I wanted to write. But I may be mistaken. Why not try it yourself?”
I mean the people saying that would be right, yeah. Jesus Himself says it. That's what John 3:16 is all about. It's literally the cornerstone of Christianity.
@NovusIgnis yep He does say it there and many other times throughout the bible
This is the one movie of the three that I *almost* dislike, because they changed *SOOOO* much. Yeah, yeah... I understand why they did; I saw the "making of" feature(s?) for it -- bringing in previous plot elements & characters, as "unifying"; bringing in a centralized "villain" (The Dark Isle and The Corrupting Green Mist) instead of a series of adventures with each island; making things "more exciting," etc; but IMO the bigger the change they made, the more hamhanded they did so. And it wasn't just one overlying Big Change; it was *many*. The Dark Isle, The Corrupting Green Mist, the *sacrifices* to The Mist, the Seven Swords, the stowaway girl, the whole "grand ending battles" at The Dark Isle and Aslan's Table, switching the islands around in order of encounter, and The Return of Frikkin Jadis fer pete's sake! (Though I do love seeing Tilda Swinton.... 😁 ) It was too much.
That said, I do like what they did with Eustace. As annoying as he is, he's not nearly as bad as in the book; I think this is because the medium of film allowed them to bring in the humor around his character -- his ending quips, the timing of his obstinacy with the surrounding action, etc. I also like how Reepicheep begins mentoring him so early on; in the book, their friendship didn't grow until Eustace became a dragon (which happened much earlier on). And, though it *is* one of The Big Changes, I do like that he had a Hero's Arc redemption, though I dislike the rest of the changes of those climactic scenes. In the book, he just became a nicer guy, and did develop courage (he helped fight off the sea serpent, which, again, came earlier, and was a standalone Random Encounter).
I still enjoy this movie, but I really have to push past my disappointment with how very much they mangled the original story.😮
I like seeing your reactions! Thank you for reviewing all three of these movies
But Agor, please put down your phone when John talk! Unless when you need to google something
Thanks appreciate you! That’s what I was doing getting trivia, rotten tomatoes and box office numbers ready to go. Multi tasking :)
This was my favourite of the Narnia books when I was a kid, back in the 70s. I read it so many times.
I'm also a sibling in a family of four! I'm the Lucy in the family. Eustace shows up in the Silver Chair and The Last Battle. I don't think this film did badly in box office (definitely declined), I think they just never got the other movies off the ground. My running theory is if they'd treated it like a 7 movie series from the start instead of a continuation of a trilogy, they might've gone further.
The ending always makes me sob 🥲
Reepicheep is such a hero
For me is 1 - 3 - 2
Same❤
It's funny how you guys get introduced to a young Will Poulter before his career took off. It was the other way round for me 😂 saw this film in cinemas and I didn't expect him to get so many future roles when all the other young actors didn't 😅 he's definitely a great actor
This one’s actually my favorite after the first movie, I don’t understand the hate. I wish they would have continued the movies especially with Magicians Nephew.
My first Will Poulter film was "Son of Rambow" about 2 kids who have a love for filmmaking and want to make their own version of Rambo. Such a good, lighthearted, feel good story. Should definitely cover it one day.
23:58 i believe its called a Cove
Harkening back to the previous movie, I like to think that the song towards the end of Prince Caspian "The Call" was referencing this movie somewhat. A lyric in that song goes like, "Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light". In this movie, they follow a star to where they need to go. In the song, I believe it's referring to someone back home during war times that you hold on to and make it all worth it. Thought that was a neat coincidence.
My favorite of the books and favorite movie!! Great Reaction!
Nice video. Not a criticism, I like your insights. I tend to think prices could go up if BTC skyrockets. But I understand the logic of Liam Scott estimates. My view is that BTC will break 100k, maybe hit 140k ATH, if conditions are right. But there are larger forces at play now. We are moving into very unknown territory. And these entities are cunning. I think there is massive manipulation ahead. If BTC survives, well, we are probably in for a windfall. But it won't be smooth sailing getting there. Stay strong...
I am new to this, how can I contact him?
He is active on Telegram ;(.🚀🚀
HE’S MOSTLY ON TELEGRAMS APPS WITH HER NAME.
@ LiscoTrade ⭐⭐✍
Thanks for the info... I'll contact him ❤🔥
I was so excited when they told Eustace there'd be some more use of him because I thought it meant they were doing the Silver Chair...and then it just dropped off
46:07 so he can row himself😂😂😂 I cant breath hahahahah
The third Narnia film doesn't have Andrew Adamson directing, but still has Markus and Mcfeely writing a year before they wrote Captain America 1
Here we go!
Thanks!! The third movie is always my favourite
Eustace returns in the next book , " The Silver Chair ". Caspian ends up married to the blue star woman in that book as well. They adapted the first 4 books into movies back in the 80s. I have those versions and the ones you've watched. I grew up with the 80s versions.
Those were BBC, weren't they?
IIRC, Tom Baker was Puddleglum in the BBC "Silver Chair"
Checking the cast for the upcoming Netflix "Silver Chair" ... He's doing it again.
To be fair, he's perfect for the part.
19:52 I don't know, Adam Warlock, can't you fly? 😛
Simon Pegg voices the mouse in this film
Super controversial opinion but this is actually my favourite movie 😅 i will always love the first one because of nostalgia and i would agree it is objectively a better movie, but i just loved the fantasy storyline of this one, as well as the chatacter progression of Eustace.
I feel ya 😂 it's my second favorite besides 1st movie.
Funny, "Voyage" is on Disney+ in the Philippines.
If I remember correctly, the Monopods appeared in the last part of the book. The Island of Dreams was I think their first adventure, and Eustace becoming a dragon happened somewhere in the middle of the book.
I love this movie!! I’m sad you guys didn’t love it as much as the others. But thanks for reacting to the series! I thought they were all great!
So here is what I think if I remember from back in the day when these movies were coming out. It was going to be difficult to do a continuous story with the original four actors because when production would go in for each of the movies, they would be a lot older than what they were supposed to be so I believe they went with the books that reflected the age that the actors would actually be at that time. So there were a bunch of avengers of the four original children, and in the letter box when they grew up, they would not be involved as much, but they could not do it logically in movies because by the time production will come around there will be a lot older than what they were supposed to be in the books so they went with the stories that fit the age of the actors
because of these past few narnia reactions, i've dusted off the old book and plan on doing a read through.
