Yes, well, I got the Narnia DVD for Christmas, and not the YTV special, but the one before that, which had even worse animation, if that's possible. I know it's different, and of lesser quality because the beaver costumes in this one look more like brown amoebas instead of beaver costumes, and Mr. Beaver doesn't whistle through his teeth in this version. Anyways, here's a little something that I put together that took me a while because I'm still EXTREMELY learning how to use Photoshop. When I get a better hang of it, I'm sure I'll even be tempted to colour! Anyways, I'm sorry the photos are a little small, I thought they would be bigger, given the size of the file and all. Next time, I'll make sure to fix this problem. As always, click on them to see them in full view.
Yes, so what I've noticed more than anything in this particular version of Narnia: Peter is a uh, well, a little...lacking in the courage department, and is kinda smaller than Edmund. Although he's a good actor, being shorter than a really short Edmund is really...well, not very flattering to the whole "Peter the Magnificent" idea, and his voice is high. Like, REALLY high. And Lucy kinda looks like the white version of Oprah pre-diet fads. She's a festively plump little girl, and that's cute. And a little disconcerting, since she kinda looks like she could take Edmund and Peter in a fight. And she kinda looks like someone you might see entering arm-wrestling competitions when she's older and beating the crap out of people in allies. She's adorable.
And I LIKE this version's Susan...she's nice, and not a totally horrid person like in the Narnia movie. I was crushed how the movie turned her into a finger-pointer 24-7, and then all of a sudden at the end, she was "Susan the Gentle?" A little strange, no?
Anyways, I'm highly amused at the quality of these DVDs. I'm enjoying them almost as much as bad ninja movies. I might post another bit on Narnia when I've watched a bit more.
OK, my duty is done. It's 4 in the morning. I need sleep. LOL. Keep it cool! And done at 9:24 your time. Not bad. =)

I've never watched Narnia; I've never read Narnia; and after reading your comic, I don't know that I ever will.
To respond to your comment, it's not so much that I can't read fast, though I have thought about those books that teach you to read faster. Funny that you have to read something to learn to read. Anyway, I blame the book. The book makes you think, and want to read the appendices, and that slows me down.
But more than that, the timeline of the book is not linear. Not by a long shot. It'll just back forty years, or ahead twenty, switch character focus (there are three main story lines) and all that without so much as a line break. You'll be reading about one guy, and then the paragraph will end, and the next won't make sense in relation to the last. Trying to comprehend the whole page of text all at once, like the speed-readers do, would be like trying to memorize sports standings after one viewing. The book is rather difficult and pretentious.
So, yeah, that's my reasoning, and this response was long enough to be a post in my own blog. Damn, why did I write it here?

Is that the *awesome* Narnia DVD with Henry Woolf in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader?
This is the BBC Narnia...and I only have the first three...sorry. I don't know if he's in that one. I suppose the best place to look would be your second home, Caitlin...IMDB. =D
well, then, it is indeed *that* Narnia (and I didn't have to check imdb, either :p)
