Originally Posted By DlandDug <--- really looking forward to seeing the Dawn Treader in full sail! I was so disappointed that Disney dropped the franchise after Prince Caspian. That title has always been the weakest in the series (IMHO), at least after Horse and His Boy. Voyage of the Dawn Treader, on the other hand, is the most cinematic of the series. I think it was very shortsighted of Disney to make a decision about future participation without taking this into consideration.

Considering Walden's recent track record stinks like last week's garbage that was probably the right decision. I've not seen anything about the third feature and it was only a poster recently that reminded me it was about to come out. It seems like a very crowded holiday season for family flicks - I can't see them all succeeding....surely? And to answer the original question - I'll be skipping it. Although I enjoyed the first two they lacked any soul or true emotion for me - they just became spectacles. Not bad - just not as engaging as I'd have liked.
Originally Posted By basil fan BTW, I re-read Prince Caspian and Dawn Treader, and I agree with the above assessment. Nothing, but nothing happens in Caspian. Dawn Treader, on the other hand, has several scenes that will translate excellently to film. Or, they should.
