[edit] Awards

What are the Wings TEC Critics Awards? Do they really exist? I couldn't find them with a quick google search. And shouldn't they, like all the other awards, be mentioned on the page for the specific movie rather than the series?Eluchil404 03:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I came to the discussion page wondering the same thing myself. I run a Narnia fan site and have heard nothing of the sort myself. Can anyone shed any light on this? In the meantime, I've moved it to the page about the film, and reformatted it so that it fits. --LuminousSpecter 04:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarifying the Differences Between the Film and Book Series' Production Orders

The section on "Other Films" was rewritten to better clarify why there is a disparity between the order of the currently published editions and the order in which the films are being produced. It was also revised to avoid language that seemed somewhat patronizing ("some *young* fans are confused"--in reality, many adult readers are also confused). 138.237.162.14 02:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stub?

I just noticed the stub template on this page. IMO, the article covers the topic fully, so I will remove the stub template unless someone objects. Eluchil404 20:31, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Since no one mentioned any reasons to keep the stub listing, I have deleted it. Eluchil404 16:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Correct order or buisiness?

Should it also be said that many people read Narnia and didn't read Nephew, thus making more movie buisiness for the studio?

Only if we can find a source for it. It's logical but WP:NOR and my impression is that LWW was really a personal/emotional choice for the produces and director rather than a cold blooded marketing decision. Eluchil404 04:51, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Super Shortened?

This article looks virtually destroyed. If I remember correctly, it looks half the length it used to be. (E.g. There's no plot, fewer pictures, etc.) Colonel Marksman 15:07, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2008?????

I thought Prince Caspian was supposed to be released in 2007! Why this change? Scorpionman 20:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

The nearly impossible production scheduale that a Dec 2007 release would hae required? I don't know more than what I've seen in the news reports but 23 months is not very long to go from greenlight to release espeically if major characters have to be photo-realistically animated (Aslan, Reepicheep, Truffelhunter).

[edit] Lord of the Rings for Kids

I look at this movie as the Lord of the Rings for kids. This might be the reason why it was not nominated for Best Picture. Why is it that kids movies, despite their overall quality, cannot be nominated for Best Picture?

[edit] Caspian Trilogy

In regards to the "trilogy of Caspian" (Other Films, P1), if I remember correctly, wasn't Caspian only a youth in "Caspian" and "Voyage"? In fact, I believe he dies as an old man during "Chair". Therefore, they wouldn't need to worry about the actor playing Caspian to remain young. --6xB 07:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Caspian dies as an old man, but in the book there's a following scene in which he's young again. The movie could fudge that, I suppose. However, the kid playing Eustace shouldn't be much older in The Silver Chair than in Voyage

—wwoods 16:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I remembered the bit about Eustace (I think "Chair" only takes place a few months after "Voyage", if I remember correctly). And now that you mention it, I do remember when they go to Aslan's country about how they said that Caspian looked younger, though I didn't think he'd be a youth again.

But yeah, they'd want to keep the same actor for Eustace for "Voyage", "Chair", and "Battle" as well. --6xB 18:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
