You May be Addicted to Narnia If...

Hello! This is a post to read if you need a bit of laughter in your day.

I found this page on The Lion's Call, and I had to read the whole thing! It's called, "You May be Addicted to Narnia If..." I laughed pretty often, as many of them reminded me of myself! A lot of them are inside Narnia jokes. :)


Here's a few I liked....

Whenever you run or walk north you think or say "Narnia and the North!"

You want to make a movie called "How The Witch Stole Christmas."

You tell Dufflepud jokes instead of blonde jokes.

You say "Further up and further in" instead of saying goodbye.

You are in a car and suddenly shout, "LAMP-POST!!!!!!"

Your passwords and usernames are Narnia-related.

Your idea of a good story is one that reminds you of Narnia.

You regularly sneak up on your horses just in case you catch them in the act of talking...

You think it's amazing that the same sun you see every day is the same one in the movies.

You get offended when someone says something against anything to do with Narnia.

You check "OTHER:" and fill in "Son of Adam/Daughter of Eve" for your race on forms.

You nickname your cat "DLF."

You were doing your Awana handbook when it asked whose poster is in your room and you said "Aslan's" and then later it asked "Do you need to replace your role model with someone more like Christ?" and you couldn't stop laughing.

You do something that your Mom says she'll pay you for, and you just say, "Buy me a ticket to VDT".

The Music Videos of Narnia

Here is a collection of the best Narnia Music Videos out there, including the official ones and my favorite fan-made music videos. Enjoy!


LWW: Steven Curtis Chapman: “Remembering You”
I found this one on Narnia.com one day and loved it ever since… especially the fast-paced clips around 2:43! I appreciate that the artist is a Christian, and that the song is thoughtful and moving, but exciting, and it sounds a lot like a song you would hear on Christian radio.



PC: Switchfoot: “This is Home”
I’m not as impressed with this artist or song. The song is pretty cool, and I think it captures the spirit of Narnia being the Pevensies’ second home, but the singers are a bit rock-and-roll-y. The video is pretty cool though. :)



VDT: Carrie Underwood: “There’s a Place for Us”
She actually wrote the song for the movie (It plays during the credits), but never made an official music video for it. Maybe that’s why: because it was written for the credits. Below is a video montage of her recording the song with movie clips edited in. It's short, but emotional! :D I think it works perfectly for the movie. I really love this song!



Several other international artists recorded “There’s a Place for Us” by request of Fox (to get more publicity for the movie worldwide). For their music videos, they each have the same set (the picture frame with the water) and movie clips, but a different feel and outfit. They're pretty odd, so I'm not posting them. :)


VDT: Fan Made: Scott Krippayne: “Voyage”
I edited this music video to a song inspired by the Dawn Treader movie and written by Christian artist Scott Krippayne. I finished it in November before the movie came out, using all of the trailers and clips that had been released: hence the poor quality and quantity. :)



PC: Fan Made: Mark Schultz: “You are a Child of Mine”
Most of the fan music videos online are poor quality or poorly edited. However, my sister found this user, babybiz87, who has uploaded some Narnia music videos and is very good at editing to the beats of the music. Here is my favorite one of hers: It brings to the forefront Prince Caspian’s search for a relationship with Aslan and his finding out that Aslan knew him all along.



LWW: Fan Made: Casting Crowns: “Voice of Truth”
I couldn’t find a LWW music video that I liked (besides the official one), so here’s a LWW character music video. It’s about Peter Pevensie’s journey and his aim to do right and listen to Aslan’s voice. This is one of my favorite songs; it’s so uplifting! They also use a lot of my favorite clips from my favorite movie! :)



Which one was your favorite? Do you have a favorite Narnia music video I haven’t listed? Please comment! I love hearing from other Narnia fans! :)

$300 million dollar thoughts!

The Dawn Treader has sailed to over $300 million worldwide!
According to Aslan's Country, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader will probably make more than 350 million dollars!

Good: This is a lot, and I think Fox has made more than its budget, and they are happy with the outcome.

Bad: This is still shy of Prince Caspian's overall earnings of $417 million worldwide. (Below is an interesting chart showing how much each movie made daily.)

Good: The movie hasn't opened yet in Prince Caspian's largest foreign market, Japan. (I think they'll be opening on February 25.) Japan could bring lots more money to Dawn Treader, especially with all of the international promotion the movie received!

Conclusion? Go see the movie again! Douglas Gresham and other Christian reviewers say that the second time you see the movie it will become clearer how everything works together. I certainly enjoyed it more every single time I saw it! :) So go see it! And tell others about it! The word of mouth is helping! :)
