It’s still wild to me how what should have been a reliable, solid franchise got undermined (summer release for PC) and tossed aside by Disney. It’s a book series with so much potential, but seems undervalued at every turn. They haven’t even released the films on 4k and the EE of LWW is only on DVD! 🤦‍♂️

Great video, btw! 😁 Apologies for the rant. 😂

I trust Netflix and modern Disney to handle Narnia with the same amount of trust I have for the government to not tax me.

Stepping into Narnia for the first time in2005 was almost like stepping into Hogarts in 2001.

I couldn't have written a better love letter to these movies. I grew up with both the books and movies, and it's always made me sad that we never got to see more of the story on screen. It was a core part of my imagination as a kid, and I love revisiting it as an adult. Adam's vision of Narnia was so tangible and draws you in with each rewatch. Hearing that Netflix and Greta were working on something new with Narnia made me...nervous. I'm right there with you wishing Disney would take the rights back.

its so good to hear people appreciate the phenomenal soundtrack that harry gregson williams wrote, "for narnia and for aslan" with that music in the background changed my dna for real

I still can’t believe that we could have gotten an atrocious 90s version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe 😆

“Just a little creativity” is asking too much of Disney these days

Recently rewatched The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and I couldn't believe how good Aslan still looks. They got just the right amount of realistic features while still allowing him to have very natural-looking and emotive facial expressions. Still don't understand why they didn't use him as a model when making the newer Lion King.

The first two Narnia movies are a big part of my childhood, very nostalgic, and Prince Caspian was the first movie I can remember watching in theaters

I always thought it was an absolute crime not to have continued this series.  The first Narnia Film was one of the most surprising movie experience I've ever had and went so much harder than I ever expected.

I’m so glad to see Narnia had such an impact on so many people! It was the first series I fell in love with. So much so that as a kid, I felt “homesick” for a place that didn’t exist. The score, the story, the characters, the production design: all of it combined into something truly magical that touched me to my core. Just hearing that music again gave me chills. Thanks for giving this often overlooked masterpiece the coverage it deserves!

Yeah I love rewatching these, but every time it leaves a pit in my stomach to know it never got to see it being finished. This is one series I really want to see complete. But unfortunately I don’t think we will. I still love the first movie to the bottom of my heart. It one of my most favorite movies to date and its kinda just been great growing up with it.

They need to make Horse and His Boy pronto! It would literally be so easy of an adaptation because it's very cinematic in its own right

I will never forgive Disney for failing to complete my childhood series....

This video really reminded me how well-crafted those first two movies are. Like genuinely, you could make an argument that they're some of the best book-to-movie adaptations, with many of the scenes being even better than the source material. Andrew Adamson really doesn't get enough credit.

Oh how I have longed for Disney to resume their Narnia series!!! I kept hoping from 2012-2018 that The Silver Chair would come to fruition… but we all know how that went. Rather than start a new series, I would love to see the original actors, Weta, and everyone else involved with the first three films come back and be able to finish what they so beautifully started.

“Cosmic epicness of the Last Battle” well said, my friend. Well said.

Never even realized that about all the actors being the right age for the other movie adaptations. 😮
Would love for Disney to pick Narnia back up.

To be fair, Narnia is definitely the OG multiverse. In theory, it sounds like a great idea to expand on this. But like you said, it’s just going to be milked as a cash cow instead of enhancing the franchise.

Say what one will about "Voyage of the Dawn Treader", but the depature of Reepicheep is cinematic excellence.

I loved watching the narnia movies growing up. The first narnia is my favorite because of a scene where Tilda Swinton’s character slapped one of the main characters😆😭.

I like your idea of Disney picking up where they left off with the old cast. However, if that doesn't work out, I would love to see the books adapted into an animated tv or film series.
