What Narnia book would you want to see adapted most?? I would say The Silver Chair!
I think they mentioned that there would be a new tv series adapting the whole book collection. But who knows when. I saw the original TV series in the 90s on BBC, and they had The Silver Chair episode. It wasn't... good (limited budget, etc). You can watch them on CZcams.
I definitely want to see "The Magician's Nephew". To imagine the wood between worlds the graphics. And Empress Jadis of Charn (The White Witch) in the room full of giant statues or without spoiling all her shananigans....To see that all in film oh my goodness.
@@123haninhk Puddleglum remains one of my top-favorite Narnia heroes. Tom Baker's rendition is the best that's ever graced the screen! Also, the only one...
Of y’all ever watch game of thrones or Elf thsi Christmas Peter Dinklage is in both fo those as well :)
All of them
Interesting Fact about the Mice: They were normal mice in the first movie, but Aslan gifted them the chance to gain intelligence in the future. This was rewarded because the mice were the ones who chewed the rope off of Aslan’s body in the first movie.
That’s so cool! I had no idea! Thx for sharing!
But why did an animal well known for it's ingenuity would not be intelligent in the first place?
@@masansr bit more detail, *this* specific tribe of mice was a normal one until they ate the ropes off. Aslan then turned them into Talking Beasts as thanks, mice were chosen in the beginning but there can still be “dumb” versions.
Wow 🥺
Is that in the book? I'm obsessed. I need to read the book. This franchise is awesome.. I love all the actors.
Imagine what a head trip it must be for Peter and the others to rule as Kings and Queens for decades and then revert to being irrelevant teenagers again
Indeed and then Lewis gave such tragic ending to Susan just for wanting a normal life in real world.
@@tbakhalid4781 I think the others are leading productive lives in the real world as well, so I don't think that's fair. There's nothing to suggest they're stuck wishing they lived in Narnia. The last battle shows she's focusing on not growing up beyond superficially. That she just wants to be young, pretty and popular. If it was written today I'd say she's a commentary on Christian deconstruction. From others comments I've read, I haven't verified one way or the other, Lewis has said that it isn't that Susan can't be saved or never will believe in Narnia. To make a poor analogy like a rock star past their prime trying to relive the glory days while ignoring other things of importance. Like a business person getting lost in career while neglecting things of import, which for a beautiful, popular teenage girl the equivalent would be staying looking young and beautiful.
@@tbakhalid4781 "the normal life" would be for her to have become a futile woman and forget what she lived in Narnia, what she learned... Don't forget that the book is a Christian analogy, she would then be a believer who deviated from God's ways and now only give value to earthly and fleeting things and forgot the most important
@@theuncoveredlamp I still don't think that her punishment fit her "crime" of having a skewed view of what it means to grow up. What she was forced to go through is nothing short of horrific and I don't think she deserved to have her life be turned into a literal nightmare just for wanting to be pretty and popular (especially considering these are very normal and common things for young people to want). Her ending really bothered me and the last book left a sour taste in my mouth when I read it as a child. Now that I'm older I understand what C.S Lewis was going for but I still don't like the way it was executed.
@@tbakhalid4781usan and Peter moving on
Susan PEVENISE DOESN'T EVEN BELIEVE IN NARNIA ANYMORE
Edmund's character development and his relationship with Peter is definitely the best thing in this movie. I also like the addition of the mice and the final goodbye to Susan and Peter (from Narnia), that final scene always make me emotional.
I never could read the ending of "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" without tearing up when I was little - Reepicheep sailing into Aslan's country got me every single time.
If you listen to the audio commentary the actors talk about Caspian and Peter's mistakes during the battle immediately followed by Edmund stabbing the White Witch. The movie script said something like "two boys, two kings, two failures" and the actor who played Edmund immediately chimed in and said something like "and Edmund saves the day!" 🤣Love Edmund in this movie!
The Telmarine soldier whom Reepicheep said "you people have no imagination" was actually the VFX artist who brought Reepicheep to life.
That's awesome! I love it when they give cameos like that - like Pattertwig the squirrel being Harry Gregson-Williams, the sound track composer!
HA! That's awesome
Which carries a bit of (intentional, I know) irony, honestly. XD Thanks of the info.
That's so cool!!!
They only had one VFX guy working on Reepicheep? lol
Not ashamed to say,as a kid, I cried when they returned at the end of the movie. I hadn’t read the books yet so the thing of Peter and Susan not being able to go back hit me like a truck. James hit the target on the use of the song at the end being a 2000s movie thing done right. I swear the directors new they were gonna make little kids cry with that fuckin song
YESSSS knowing they wouldn’t return broke me😭😭! Also, the the addition of the song “the call” just made it more emotional
who didn’t cry though
you have no soul
Same. That final song still gets me today. Though, i was older, a senior in high school when i first saw it but it came at the tale end of the darkest period of my life. The short version being I was forced to change schools after junior year, it was hell, dropped out and repeated senior year back at my old school. However, obviously all my old classmates were gone. I got what I had wanted back at my old school that I loved but all of my closest friends were gone.
To this day I still cry at the end of this movie. It’s so sad to me that they have to say goodbye to everyone. And that they know they will never come back. And the song makes it even more emotional. I cry at the end of the third movie too because of Lucy and Edmund.
i used to cry so hard every time oh my god. i still cry when i rewatch that part
Edmund has always been my favorite character. And in this movie, he shined most with "I know. You had it sorted". Because out of all of them there, he is the one who knows best the horrors the queen would bring to narnia.
James you probably remember this, but the attack on the Telmarine castle does not take place in the book at all. I actually really like the addition, because it shows both Peter's folly in not waiting for Aslan as well as the Narnian's need for Aslan. Even when charging into battle Peter cries "for Narnia", and not "for Aslan".
I actually think that Peter was in the right about Aslan. As a leader, you can't wait for someone to come and save you. Especially if this person hasn't been seen for centuries. Especially when the lives of your people are at risk. If Peter and Caspian had waited for Aslan to save them like Lucy said, instead of devising battle plans, then all the Narnians would've been dead. Aslan waited until the VERY END of the battle to arrive. And even then, Lucy had to go LOOKING for him. Aslan is great, but if he didn't show up to stop the Narnians from being genocided by the Telmarines the first time (centuries ago), then why would he suddenly appear now? I love Aslan as a character, but he is not like Jesus on Earth. In real life, Jesus isn't going to physically come and save you. His job is simply to inspire you to be brave and be a good person (save yourself and others). Aslan physically 'killed' the White Witch, but it's not like Jesus arrived to kill Hitler. Not to mention that Peter's younger siblings' lives were at risk too and I don't think Peter would've risked that for anyone, even Aslan.
@@ginae.2462No, he wasn't right and that's the point
@@ginae.2462 That Lucy had to go looking for Aslan for him to come is key. If Peter had believed in him and sought his help from the start, Aslan would have come earlier. This touches on a deeper, common theological discussion about free will and if and when God will violate that free will (i.e. the argument that God will not intervene in human affairs unless asked to do so, because otherwise would be to violate human free will) and of course on issues of having faith.
Telmarine's were pirates from our world who entered the Narnian world accidentally through a magic portal in a cave. They settled Telmar and then eventually invaded Narnia. Calormen is the country/Empire south of Narnia, beyond the Desert.
That explains why Caspian is a Son of Adam.
So, Telmar became the Narnian equivalent of Australia. xD
I see the chronicles of Narnia as not only as an allegory of the new testament, but also a representation of the history of Christianity, from antiquity in the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, via the age of Conquest in Caspian and the dawnthreader, and so on. Timewise it does correlate to the actual history of Christianity as it is being about 1500 years in Narnia, from the lion and the witch to the Conquests of the telmarines, the same time spann from the birth of Christ to the age of Conquest in this world history
@@Shythalia haha! They invaded riding playtpuses and koalas.
@@marcusfridh8489 interesting. I had not considered that before.
"Edmund, what a legeng. Caspian who?"
SAME. I had such a huge crush on Edmund when this movie came out. The only guy with common sense.
Same, he and Lucy are the best honestly
Best character development. We all hated Edmund with a passion in the first one and now he's the favorite character! Dudes a badass!!
Very true!
It’s also why I’m sad they never made the silver chair. Eustace is a brat in Dawn Treader, but silver chair is when he gets his Edmund-like glow up.
It was definitely the battle of the egos with Peter and caspian. It’s understandable Peter is a king (that went back to being a child 😂) and caspian is a prince set to be king. Both were set to be in a position of decision making but couldn’t come to an agreement resulting in a tragedy. But I Also understand caspian I mean imagine hearing about this great king all your life and then you meet him and it’s just another teenager lol it was probably hard for him to take him seriously. And also considering the fact that he wasn’t sure Peter and his siblings would even come back so the narnians put caspian as leader before they came back
I love how these two say "we" and "us" like they're in the movie 😆
One line from the book really made me laugh out loud and stuck with me. “And so, the Pevensies returned to Narnia as some say King Arthur will one day return. And I say, the sooner the better!”
I love Lewis’ snide little asides, they’re so perfect
20:31 I love Edmund's character growth in this movie! So satisfying 😌
Okay, let's just say I never had a "movie watchig buddy" but after a long, hard day rewatch my fav movies and childhood cartoons with u guys, it's really make my day 😊
So... I just wanna say thank you 😄
Awww thanks :)
Same. My kid isn't into the same movies as me and i miss having someone to watch with, so i usually come to this channel for a bit of "company"
@@whitenoisereacts 😊💗
Even though the first movie was obviously the better one, I did still love this movie. I was glad that they gave Susan more of a chance to fight and use her skills. When she let's Lucy go on her own and shoots the horsemen, I was like Katniss who? Queen Susan is awesome. I would say you got this far so you might as well just watch the 3rd movie just to complete the series.
The actor who plays Prince Caspian, Ben Barnes, also plays the Darkling in Shadow and Bone-the reactions I found you guys through! I love this one as well for the nostalgia. Great reaction :)
Ah Ben Barnes. 1 of my first childhood crushes 😍
He went from "Oh my handsome prince" to " Yes daddy, I know you're corrupted by darkness, but I dont care one bit"
he's also Billy russo in the Punisher
Suppose you didn’t already know. Shrek director Andrew Adamson stuck close to the book with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and after its success, he took liberty with Prince Caspian as Ben Barnes was around 27 years old, playing a kid. In the Book, Caspian was around thirteen, but they aged him up for Ben, which is why they have that weird Susan and Caspian romance deal.
I would actually like to have seen The Magician's Nephew done as a movie. I read these books so much as a kid and it is always kind of cool to see the world you've been imagining come to life. Especially as the first in the series. I love how you mentioned Tolkien and Lewis at the beginning because they actually knew each other! Tolkien, I believe, was the one who said to C.S. Lewis that he didn't think a book could do well if focused around a lamp or something to that affect. I could be misremembering that entirely lol I enjoyed this reaction guys - I do hope you do Voyage of the Dawn Treader!
Tolkien and Lewis liked each other, but Tolkien disliked Narnia a lot. In his own words: “ [Narnia was] outside the range of my sympathy, as much of my work was outside his [Lewis]”. That's mostly because Tolkien did not enjoy allegories
@@anitatereszczuk3967 The channel Hello Future Me addressed that: it seems Tolkien more disliked blunt, one-to-one allegories, while he was perhaps more fine with applicability.
@@anitatereszczuk3967 Like each other they did, to the point where they each included the other in their respective books.
Tolkien said Lewis couldn't put a lamppost in a fantasy story...and so he did! 😂
And yes, the Professor in Lion, Witch, Wardrobe is based on Tolkien and Treebeard in LOTR is based on Lewis.
BFF goals 💞
@@miralang8149 I love a meme I saw that summed it up:
Lewis: I put you in my book!
Tolkien: That's cool, I put you in mine, too!
Lewis: In my book you're the Professor who witnessed the creation of Narnia and created the Wardrobe that the children enter into Narnia with!
Tolkien: In my book you're a tree.
Lewis: ---
Tolkien: But, like, a COOL tree!
"You People have NO IMAGINATION!" IS probably one of my favorite lines of this movie
It's mentioned in the books that afte the kids return to Narnia, their old skills and muscle memory return to them in about a day. So, they become just as skilled warriors and diplomats as they were when they left Narnia as adults.
The reason Susan and Peter were having such a hard time getting used to Narnia again is because they were older. They had aged in the real world and were starting to lose their belief, that's also why Lucy has had the best connection her belief of the beauty and wonder of Narnia never faded, she never stopped hoping to go back.
Also the Ice Queen isnt just convincing them to change sides she has this Siren thing. People want to be near her. When Caspians hand was cut he was completely lost in a trance reaching out to her. So when Peter was caught in it its not really his fault, it wasn't him being stupid.
Edmund definitely did step it up this movie he had real character growth in the last one and in the years by his siblings side and definitely matured.
In the books one of my favorite spots is always when "the Narnian air" begins to work on the our world kids and their "hands remember their old skills" and such like! So exciting! You can see it in the movies in the kids' bearing. In this movie I didn't like the rivalry between Peter and Caspian. In the book Caspian is younger and is in the midst of a severe case of hero worship.
The last scene always makes me so emotional man, seriously it took me a long time to watch it without crying lol
I lived and breathed these books as a child. I wish the adaptations had been more faithful, but it is hard to fit everything into a movie's runtime. For any super Narnia fans I recommend "The Magician's Book" by Laura Miller. It's part book analysis, part C.S. Lewis biography, but mostly about the grief of losing the wonder of your childhood and how to gain a new appreciation for your old favorites as an adult.
Ever see the BBC versions? They certainly are dated but they’re pretty faithful
@@LordHoth_09 No, I didn't know about those. I looked them up and will start watching now. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@LordHoth_09 The BBC versions are okay but I felt they were badly cast and looked absolutely horrible in terms of production. I do remember thinking the guy they got to play the prince in "The Silver Chair" was great, though.
I was literally looking for reactions to this yesterday. I hope you react to Narnia: Voyage of The Dawn Treador next.
It’s on Patreon
This is definitely my favorite of the film trilogy! I appreciate the darker, more serious tone, while still providing the charm of Narnia and character development for our young kings and queens. What also makes this adaption fascinating is that there are TWO scenes that didn't exist in the original book because the characters decided against taking certain courses of action. Namely, attacking Miraz's castle and trying to summon the White Witch. The characters do talk about these being options, but the majority sides against these ideas so they never happen. So this movie is awesome because there's almost a "what if?" thing going on here with those two sequences. Plus, adds more drama. I love it!
Can’t say enough how much I love these movies. The first one is definitely my #1 favorite out of the three. And Edmund definitely is way more likable in this movie than he was in the other one. I can see the situation from all of the siblings sides. I feel like Peter probably feels like he has to live up to all the stories that have been told of him and his siblings and that probably doesn’t feel as I don’t know confident is the word I guess I’m looking for. Idk. But yeah Edmund and Peter did kinda switch up the way they acted in the first one somewhat. Also you would think they would listen to Lucy by now in the beginning but they don’t. Ether way these movies are iconic love them. Really would like to see you two react to the third movie. Love the videos! You both do an amazing job!
I liked the third movie. It shows great character growth from Lucy, Edmund and Caspian. I think it's worth watching. Of course there were some additions that weren't originally in the book, but I didn't mind those. For the most part I believe it follows the book pretty well. It's worth the watch.
I love your reaction videos guys. You invest in the movie, you notice the details, you discuss the issues presented, but you don't overdo it, you make sure to pay attention to the plot and the adventure too while cracking jokes that are hilarious af. You two are starting to become my fav reaction channel on yt, I'm glad I found you. Keep up the good work!
In this movie i love how they showed of how much time has passed since Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy were there in the first movie.
Edmund is really a legend of this movie, he was, in fact, a king for a long time, so it explains him being more mature. And Peter just returned his power and being cocky ass 😅
In case you were wondering, in the scene where they try to resurrect the white witch, the bird-lady is called a hag and the other creature was a werewolf.
That minotaur was one of the most badass characters ever
there's something magical in the final song “The call”. It makes me feel nostalgic and not gonna lie, most of the time I cry while listening to it.
As humans even though we think we've matured, life always finds a way to tell us that there's still a lot to learn, and our decisions can have bad consequences. But in the end, we live with them, and we learn from them. And we move on.
Life is hard sometimes. We gotta enjoy the good times that we have (Narnia) and learn so that we could live our real lives in the best way possible.
I don't know, that last song always gets me.
Great reaction guys!
Love from Mexico 🇲🇽
Honestly for me the first two Narnia movies r equially best (ofc nothing will compare to the first one after all it's the most iconic thing and the beginning of this all) although when I was younger I used to get annoyed with Caspian 'cuz he was kinda interfering with our main 4 protagonists dbbdb
Well to be fair Caspian is still annoying to me. With all this “We’ll take what they’ve took from us” talk to narnians? Relax castle boy
Ben Barnes’s cute face for sure makes it better tho
@@juliawho " we'll take back what's rightfully ours" like wym ours bro? loll
@@juliawho fr. like tf have u lost Caspian?
Fun Fact about Caspian, in the book he is aged between Lucy and Edmund and never interacts with Susan
The song at the end of this movie always gets me in my feels
I can listen to it on repeat for hours
The song at the end (The Call by Regina Spektor) was written for this movie. It just got super popular outside the movie too ❤️
Looking forward to another great reaction. Prince Caspian was my least favourite of the Narnia movies, but I know I'll enjoy it more watching with you guys.
I agree.... like Prince Caspian as if he wasn't given an education at all. That he thinks he's above that of Peter.
this movie has surprisingly intricate politcs that flew way over my head when i was younger
Actually Tolkien and Lewis were good friends. Ninabrick is played by Warick Davis who you may know from a little series called Harry Potter. I hate that we didn't get the 4th movie in this series, because at least with the older movies we did get the 4th one.
Or an even smaller series called Star Wars return of the Jedi
SERIOUSLY?!?! He was Reepicheep in the old BBC "Prince Caspian" and "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" - and Glimfeather in "The Silver Chair"!
I didn't recognize him!
42:25 "but so why"...legit my mood throughout the movie
It must have felt like that for the children at that time. Like the wars were going on and on; time seemed to move so slowly. They were sent far away from their parents, under a lot of rules and hardship, and they had little entertainment, so their imagination (or faith/hope/religion?) was such a solace. They felt they had spent a lot of fun time in their imagination, but in reality they are still in the same position. That’s the reason for the time difference between both worlds. (I’ve never read the books though so I don’t really know; just my thoughts from watching the movies with you guys😊)
Gotta love that mouse Reepicheep
He's so cute...,. WHO SAID THAT..,.sorry
This particular chronicle, over the other six, always had a particular place in my heart. I know most people like the 2nd one (The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe) way more, but I really love the more mature themes, and also the more complex plot Prince Caspian brings. All this system about the time skip, the details about how the narnians and the Kings and Queens became only legends in this world, gives it a mysterious and nosgalgic vibe that I like a lot. I aways like this stories where you can see the same places from the prequel, but changed by some important Historical event.
It's a slower chronicle, but the message about believing the Lord even when anyone believes anymore, and believing Him even when the world has changed so much that everything seems lost, is something that warms my heart. I see myself as Lucy sometimes, keeping faith when everyone has already lost. But sometimes I'm just like Trumpkin, and I need to see to believe. It feels so real to me...
It's one of my favourite chronicles.
Definitely react to the third one. The voyage of the Dawn treader is an excellent movie I like it better than Prince Caspian actually.
And Tolkien and Lewis shared a ton of things because they were best friends, and helped each other with their books. Tolkien says he would have never finished Lord of the rings if it had not been for the encouragement of CS Lewis
I really wish Disney and Walden Media had worked something out so they could've made the third film together.
i read all the books and shockingly found the films MUCH more exciting
Really? Naw dude…
@@whitenoisereacts im more of a movie person anyway but strangely enough i found that the books that got adaptations were kinda less interesting than the books that didn’t 👀 the boy and his horse and the magicians nephew were better than the lion the witch and the wardrobe and thats a hill i am willing to die on
Regina Spektor’s “The Call” at the end is a perfect fit in the ending
If they ever end up making The Magician's Nephew as say, a prequel to the movies, they HAVE to get Tilda Swinton back!
First, you should know Ben Barnes modeled his accent on Mandy Patinkin's Inigo accent from Princess Bride. Second, I don't love-love how they adapted this one, but it did have some great lines:
"It's King Edmund, actually. Just King, though. Peter's the High King. I know, it's confusing."
" The last time I didn't believe Lucy, I ended up looking pretty stupid."
"You get treated like a dumb animal long enough, that's what you become. "
"I was so tall" "Well, you were older then."
The ending song made me tear up so badly and even now because I can't give up on such imagination I had as a child with thesee movies it's hard to which the song says "say good bye" So Narnia has been my love for it... I am just glad you boys are bringing me back home to my childhood once more.
yeah had my heart aching hearing the song during the ending scene especially with susan and caspian. If only they aged there instead of in the first movie susan would of had a relationship with caspian for 28 years. heartbreaking knowing peter and susan knew they were getting old and that edmund and lucy were the next two to go back when they're peter and susans age and realize the same in the last movie. Though i think lucy would always have faith and believe in narnia.
41:05 My man Edmund! 👏
Please watch the third! You can't not finish a series, it's practically sacrilege! Plus it's based off my personal favorite Narnia book, and while it may not be the strongest movie I still like it for nostalgia reasons. Whereas Prince Caspian is my 'rainy day, I need a good cry, fantasy movie'.
We did!!! It’s on Patreon now
Edmund's movie, hands down! Edmund dual wielding swords on the battlefield lives rent free in my head to this day.
I remember crying my eyes out during the last scene 🥲
10:25: "A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" will answer that question for you
Medieval European swordsmen weren’t just brutes swinging swords. There were in fact detailed martial arts, including non weapon attacks.
And I have always loved Peter's helmet as well
I've always thought the books were incredibly dull because the main characters were very bland. That's why I really enjoyed the movies where they gave those children personality and struggles that just weren't there. Also, they made them significantly less childish - to me, the books seemed incredibly patronising. But then again, in my opinion, that's the characteristic of other Lewis' works too
See I totally disagree. I have never thought his books to be patronizing
@@whitenoisereacts Which is absolutely fair. Art is and always should be 100% subjective
I think I learned this from the commentary years ago - Regina Spektor actually wrote the credits song for this movie and it became popular after its release!
the landscape actually did change from their first visit to this one. in the books lewis touches on it more but cair paravel was on a peninsula, which over time was cut off by a stream/river forming and it became an island. also, they recognize the grounds as their castle home by the overgrown apple orchard that they had newly planted during their reign (which lasted approx 15 years)
Yessss I loved this movie so much. and Ben Barnes did amazingggg
I mean as a kid I didn’t like this movie as much as the first one possibly because of Caspian being the main focus even throughout Pevensie siblings are still there and also because the lack of faith from other Narnias and rest of Pevensie siblings on Aslan and most importantly because of political influence but I definitely liked Edmund’s redemption moments and his sass and strategy in dealing with Miraz by making him give into a duel with Peter but now as an adult I totally understand each character’s decisions. Peter was right that they can’t just wait for Aslan to show and do nothing. The plan of invasion could’ve worked had it not been for Caspian losing himself about his father’s death and things could’ve worked had Caspian just went back to palace safely instead of openly siding with Narnians, making himself look like an traitor. Overall it was not a bad sequel. However I personally prefer 3rd movie since it brings back the adventurous feeling to the course of story.
Fun fact Warwick Davis played Nikabrik in this movie but in the late 80s/early 90s there was a Chronicles of Narnia mini series or movies and Warwick Davis played Glimfeather and Reepicheep in those.
The Telmarins are inspired from the Spanish Conquistadors (hence Miraz and the soilders face masks designs) and the spanish inspired design in the weapons and armor. Since the Telmarins' ancestors were pirates, they casted the actors from The Mediterrian Area such as Spain and Italy as well as Mexico (and in Dr. Conrnelius case Vinent Gras is a french actor).
Something to note! Both Edmund and Lucy were the most active in leading and fighting in battle from what I remember, I think the movies kind of play down those aspects, but yeah Edmond and Lucy badass warriors so
The other big change is changing the timeline of events from the book. In the book, Caspian does not blow the horn until after his forces have lost a battle and are trapped inside Aslan's How. The kids don't meet up with Caspian until near the end of the book (Peter and Edmund show up just in time to stop Nikabirk from summoning the White Witch and Lucy and Susan were off with Aslan and don't meet Caspian until after the big victory.). Trumpkin is captured, but much later in Caspian's story. He is there with Nikabir and Trufflehunter to recuse and befriend Caspian and help him recruit his army and sings Caspian's praises after the Pevensies rescue him, so they know their goal is to put Caspian on the throne. In the movie, Trumpkin doesn't know who Caspian is, so the kids think their main purpose is to lead the Old Narnians agains the Telmarines.
The sibling dialogue in these movies was SO realistic!
And I love the song at the end
And I love the scoreee
Edmund is def the best in this one! That actor stole the show in every scene he was in 🤩
Apparently they originally planned for Spanish influences and Ben Barnes was trying for a Spanish accent, but once they got into filming bigger scenes, most the extras and minor characters were Italian, so Ben Barnes had to shift his accent to match theirs.
Hey James,this is my fav Narnia movie. Glad yous guys are watching it and can't wait for the Harry Potter reactions from the new members:)
Okay, now I'm REALLY keen for you guys to watch The Punisher! Prince Caspian is played by Ben Barnes, who has an absolutely BADASS role in the Punisher series, and his acting is off the charts in it. He blew me away.
yes please watch the third one aswell, it doees drop a little in quality, but it's still worth the watch..
9:00 17:07 I always find it so interesting when fantasy films/ shows like this find a way to suggest that magic was part of our real world history, but it either slowly faded away, or we lost access to it (like the Spiderwick Chronicles, Once Upon A Time, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Maleficent, Stardust, etc).
I remember crying like a baby in the end of this movie bc this is the last time they're together like this since the third movie is so different😢 I understand the books but its still sad 💔
I watched this movie as a child after we watched the first one in school and I was terrified! I had nightmares for months and it took me a long time to actually finish it. Now I love it though!
The song at the end of the movie, when the kids are going back to England, was written overnight by the woman singing it.
i love this one so much too, very happy to see with you guys 🥰
I wish the four would get together and do some photoshoot shenanigans to show how they'd look like as adult Kings and Queens. Ahh what I would've liked to see Lucy leading the armies of Narnia against the armies of Calormen. Also, Edmund and Peter defending the north from the giants, and Susan governing while they're all gone.
The ending was really bittersweet but beautiful at the same time :,) This was my childhood! Just rewatching it with you guys brings back so many fond memories! IMO, I personally liked this movie out of the three so far!
I honestly have always loved this movie. I thought it really captured the conflicted feelings all of our human characters were going through; Caspian trying to find his place, Peter trying to adjust to not being a king (or, in the metaphorical sense of the movie, not being a kid anymore), Lucy going through that pre-teen phase of accepting her beliefs regardless of what anyone else thinks...for the time they had to do it in, the visual conflicts really helped bring that out. My biggest gripe with the film has ALWAYS been that forced, COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY "romance" between Susan and Caspian. I will die on the soapbox of "Just because a story has a girl and a boy who aren't related DOESN'T mean they have to fall in love!"
Yes!!! I so agree about the romance
Tilda Swinton cameos as one of centaurs at the end when the Narnians parade through the capital. Also, director Andrew Adamson's parents can be seen in the big window in the same scene.
One of the biggest changes is that the main characters are older. In the book, Peter is 13, Susan is 12, Edmund is 10, and Lucy is 9. Caspian is a little younger than Peter The child actors aged up in between the the movies, and their ages are an even bigger stretch than in TLTW&TW. In the movie, Peter looks to be 17, Susan 16, Edmund 14 (Skandar Keynes obviously hit puberty), and Lucy 12 or 13. You can't write teenagers the same you would write younger kids.
Peter & Caspian were definitely acting like two bucks buttin' their heads together
Personally love this one even more than the first. Way sadder with the castle scene, Peter and Susan not coming back etc.
37:02 The fact that the Narnians that didn’t make it were shouting, "Go, save yourselves... let us die... live to fight another day..." in their dying moments.
That takes another level of courage.
The thing with Peter and Edmund's Character flip that I just love and why it makes so much sense. Is in the first film Peter grew up in Narnia has a great and wise king, who was always in charge. Then when he went back to the real world to find himself back in a Childs body with no real power again. You see him lashing out and always tryin to prove himself as the great king he once was.Once he is back in Narnia this arrogance and need to prove hisself heightens because he is now again in a position of power. The difference is he is not the only one anymore with the claim of power; which is why you see his arrogance and stubbornness to listen to anyone cames out.
Then on the flip side you have Edmand who has grown and matured in Narnia has Peters right hand always having his back. Which is why when they go back to the real world, Edmund is still looking after Peter and backing him up because that is what he has gotten use to doing. So when He goes back to Narnia he seem more mature, clam, cool and collected to Peter because he is now use to being the mature male sibling. Who steps up when Peter is spiraling.
Nikabrik is played by Warwick Davis who played Wicket the Ewok in Star Wars Epiode VI: Return of the Jedi, Wald and Weasel in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the title character in Willow and Griphook and Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter franchise. Coincidentely, he played Repicheep in BBC's Narnia TV series.
Trufflehunter is voiced by Ken Stott, who plays Balin in The Hobbit trilogy.
This movie really had the opposite problem of what adaptations usually face. Typically it’s hard to fit everything in a book into a film adaptation, but Prince Caspian the book is fairly short and doesn’t have a whole lot of action. Yet we ended up with this long movie with so many action scenes added in with very off pacing. They just overdid it for the sake of trying to make the story feature the original cast and be as epic as the first.
You guys kept mentioning that scenes felt like a video game and that’s so spot on. This movie felt even more commercialized than the first. They knew they’d be making merch, making an actual video game, etc. They just didn’t appreciate the source material in the same way as the first film. It’s a hard series to adapt in a typical blockbuster franchise style.
I would really love to see a Narnia reboot on TV (come on Netflix) because I think studios are less scared now to do a series like Narnia where the actors would have to change through the seasons. We’re seeing that all the time now and it’s not a problem for audiences. (Thinking The Crown, House of the Dragon, Bridgerton, etc.) Whereas when Prince Caspian was made I think the studio was afraid to let go of their original cast and added so much in to have them appear more in the film.
Love it and grew up watching it my only problem with it is how a mountain grew around the stone talbe cause that would take way longer to happen to grow like that also the changing of the rest of the landscape as well
Nikabrik is played by Warwick Davis, Willow in the movie of the same name.
What I love about this adaptation is how much foreshadowing of "The Last Battle" they included: Susan's growing doubts and questions about dying in another world. It's just sad we didn't get to see the pay off of it.
Eh, I'm kind of glad we never saw a "Last Battle" adaptation. I just don't know how they could make that one work for a general movie-going audience, unless a lot of changes were made (because, I'm sorry, but it's a lot harder to sell what happened to all the human characters except Susan as a *good* thing in film format)
If I remember right this fiom is technically book 4 or 5 of the series. There is a book after lion/witch/wardrobe that focuses on (been long time) a kid that goes on a journey with a talking horse. The four kids are in it as adults with that kid and horse meeting them. The book also goes into that other kingdoms exists outside where the four kids rule with that book focus more on a Persia like setting.
Hi you two hope all is well hugs to you both. Always enjoy your reactions . 🙂❤️🙏
