It’s the final trip to Narnia for the Pevensie children in the new movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, based on the book by C.S. Lewis. And it’s certainly an amazing adventure for THEM — but is it worth the journey for YOU, the moviegoer? Nancy and Karen aren’t so sure…

Watch our video review to find out what we liked and what we didn’t like, and whether we’d recommend climbing aboard — or jumping ship:

(PS – If you’re on the go — say, sailing the seas of a magical kingdom — don’t worry, you can still listen to our review. Just download the audio.)

Could they be related? ... Probably not.

I’ve always liked that lions are kings of the jungle. The way I see it, the jungle is a wild and crazy place, so I appreciate that there’s some order in it. It always made sense that the leader of Narnia (Aslan) was a wise lion.  The Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz… Well, he eventually comes around.

Speaking of lions, I wanted to share this online video sensation with you (WARNING: cheesy music to follow!):

Isn’t that just adorable? (To be honest, the first time I watched it I was a little afraid it’d get gory…)

Have you guys read any other books with notable lions in them? And are they more like Aslan or the Cowardly Lion?

Seeing someone with your own eyes? Talking in person? What is this, the Stone Age? Sure, computers didn’t even exist back when C.S. Lewis wrote the Chronicles of Narnia — but what if they had?
