Chronicles of a Narnia Fan #36 - Super Bowl TV Spot Analysis

104 days to go... Disney has posted a 30-second TV spot that will air during the Super Bowl this Sunday. There are seven shots I want to discuss.

I think the whole White Witch scene is sort of good in sort of a way to connect this film to the first one. but yeah in the book he immediately turns away from the idea and in this thing he's pretty much sucked in until as far as we know the last minute.

[GPuddle]

This story is already very connected to the first one. That's what the whole treasure chamber scene is all about. Much of the story even takes place at the Stone Table. There are references to LWW throughout the entire book. I would say that LWW and PC are more closeley connected than any other two books in the Chronicles.

but aslans supposed to grow bigger. it says in the book that aslan says he grows bigger as they grow bigger.

[GPuddle]

From their point of view, yes. At least, that's my interpertation. Aslan doesn't look the same size to everyone.

But the issue is the same. In a book, it's easy to just type "Aslan, you're bigger." But in a movie, when you have to visualize that, the effect is not the same. The risk in having a giant Aslan in a movie is that he'll seem more like a creature a character. It might be especially weird when he talks to other characters next to him, and his mouth is huge.

(Sorry, accidentally deleted your last comment)

I'm not sure what I'll do for VDT, if anything. But either way, what I really want is for other people to start Narnia blogs too. It would be so much fun if a 4 or 5 people had one!

The Narnia spot was the only bright spot that night, because my Damn Patriots lost

[vulcanmario]

I think that the hag/werewolf/nikabrick bring start to bring back the white witch and caspian finds out and then the fight

[vulcanmario]

i totally agree with you fake looking make up beats fake looking cgi... cough*starwars*cough

[Mia241]

lol about the diver! I didn't know that about Trumpkin. Love your horn sound! :P

Well Father Christmas did say whenever you at need...

Love your videos, gP, keep it up!

[keesvdijkh]

Damn that Hag is UGLY! Looks like the Great Witch from roald dahl's the Witches.

[ballerinette1]

my only concern--how in heaven's name does the hag remain undiscovered when she looks like that?!

[ballerinette1]

i think CHRISTIANgirl95 is taking Lewis' writing literally...which is rather deceitful to the mind! Lewis merely meant that Aslan was bigger as a reality--his character, their understanding of Who He Is has grown. they have not outgrown him (like many adults claim they've 'outgrown' their faith), because he is far bigger than anyone could ever, possible comprehend.
