link to the Prince

I'm very excited because one of my most beloved tales is coming to life on May 16- Prince Caspian. It is the 3rd book (or 4th depending on your series) in the Chronicles of Narnia series. These books do even get better with perspective I think. It's hard for me to read them to my daughter without tearing up as I read about Aslan. The Lion DOES get bigger as we get older.

It's regrettable the film makers didn't start filming this story right away after the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe. (I image they had to wait for commercial success first) but the children are sort of a bit too old. They should only be a year old, and the actor playing Lucy has aged what looks like 3-4 years. Before she was the picture of innocence and as cute as a button, now she's a "tween" . . . and the actor playing Peter is mannish, but all in all I think it'll be great anyway. These characters also appear in the book The Last Battle... but (again) the film folks should have had the sense to film this story already, or they'll have to feature these "children's" children in the roles.

(hope this link I'm trying to set up works, but if not it's at disney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/)
