I saw it!

Okay, so I know I just posted on Prince Caspian, but I saw it on Friday and would like to say that despite my worries mostly being well-founded, I really liked the movie.

Yes, (spoiler) Susan and Caspian share a kiss. Not good. But I understand why they did it.

Yes, they begin the ritual to summon the white witch and Caspian and Peter are both tempted, but not Edmund. Not what happens in the book, but again I understand why it was done, there was drama, more character development.

Reepicheep never has "i don't like you" moments with Caspian.

I still haven't gotten through the book (I've been tired lately), though in previous readings I don't remember a storming of the castle. That bugs me but I also understand why they did this because of the direction they were taking with Caspian and Peter.

So I guess I'm saying, go see it anyway. It's a very good film.

I'm not happy that I have to wait until 2010 for the next one to come out. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is going to be awesome...though Georgie Henley is getting to be so pretty that it's going to be hard to justify her wanting to do the beautification spell on herself when she's in the dufflepuds island. I've been checking over and over again but I haven't seen any information for who is playing Eustace or the seven lords (wait, not all of them are there right? They find about five or so I think).

I also just shipped my first Etsy order! Here are pictures of him!

I'm worried...

Okay, so I made a new banner (someone needs to show me how to make photo layers on photoshop), not any of the three I previously had.

I would like to express my concerns over the new Prince Caspian movie.
I love Disney. Its classics are groundbreaking and part of history. Lately I think they've fallen in a rut (hey, this was a hit fifty years ago, let's make a sequel with careless animation, colors and backgrounds with no depth, a horrible script, and people that don't sound like the original voiceovers. It costs less money than a real film, and we'll make a lot on those idiot children who don't know quality when it hits them between the eyes! but I'm not bitter...) but I was so excited to hear years ago that they were teaming up with Walden Media to film the Chronicles of Narnia.
Now, Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe was good. Very few licences taken (except for a face off with wolves and getting caught on ice floes and the trees telling everyone about Aslan's demise, and the part where Lucy tells Aslan to wait when she's administering to Edmund is left out, they probably thought it was unimportant but I thought the opposite).

There are a few parts that I've seen in previews that REALLY worry me. Really just like three or so.
1) Reepicheep apparently doesn't like Caspian very much. (Reepicheep is in essence valor and loyalty. Any disapproval in Caspian wouldn't be fitting)
2) The Pevensies storming the castle. As far as I can remember (I'm re-reading the book right now) this does not happen, and it's kind of a major event. I was pretty sure that the Telmarines FOUND the Narnians at Aslan's How and the battle took place there.
3) (this is the worst) The love affair between Susan and Caspian. The previews are rife with telling looks, and one short image of someone with Susan's hair rushing in to kiss Caspian rather passionately. I'm sorry if this is a spoiler, but Susan does not ever return to Narnia, even in The Last Battle (she's the only one of the Pevensies who stops believing in Narnia, becomes rather silly and self-absorbed). CS Lewis did not put these two in a romantic entanglement, especially since from what I recall, Caspian is rather taken with a lady star in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader".

I'm so worried about this. I know that it's kind of silly, but I've been reading and re-reading these books since I was ten years old, and they're kind of sacred to me. You don't mess with C. S. Lewis. Especially big plot twists like that!
