The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

<< < (9/17) > >>

Dissy:
Doesn't it Chronologically go:
1. The Magician's Nephew
2. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
3. The Horse and His Boy
4. Prince Caspian
5. Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6. The Silver Chair
7. The Last Battle

I think that is how my boxed set is.

MaidMarian:
The chronology of the story is different from the order in which the books were written.  As has been mentioned earlier in this topic.

Lines:
That's the way publishers ordered it after Lewis died. Boro's list is the order in which they were written and the "true" order in which they should be. (Or something.) I've read them in both orders, but the first time I read the series, I read it the original way because they were separate books, but my omnibus has them in the other order.

*Shrug. Whatever order you read it, as long as it makes sense, you're good.

jimbunny:
If you've read The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, the rest should make some kind of sense. They're not very dependent on each other.

axerton:
It seems an odd choice to make the movies in the written order as opposed to the chronological order. I mean, most novel-to-screen movies have to go on the assumption that the books haven't been read. As it is they're going to make The Silver Chair, which the original four kids play no part in what so ever, then they're going to skip back to into a time in the middle of the first movie. And like Jon says a movie should be able to stand on it's own with out the viewer having to have recently seen the previous movies. As it is they're going to have to do a lot of explaining so that the audience isn't left wondering "wait - where did these kids come from," explaining that could have been avoided or at least reduced had they made Horse second.

Another potential problem is that (going on an average of a year an a half to two years per film) Horse will be made nearly 6 years after the finish of Wardrobe meaning that the young actors will have aged considerably. Though I suppose this could work with the idea that they actually grew up and physically aged in Narnia before going back to their original selves when they left.

Not a major annoyance to me, just something I noticed.
