Look Out Narnia

Posted on June 29, 2005 by Tito

Mark Moford is warily awaiting Disney’s treatment of The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe (my first "favorite" book):

More bad news: The first "Narnia" episode (I’m assuming Disney will adapt all seven books, if this one hits big) is directed by Andrew Adamson, a guy who has directed exactly two movies prior to tackling one of the most beloved children’s books of all time, and they both have the word "Shrek" in the title. Oh, and they were animated. And full of boogers and fart jokes and burping and smart-assed talking animals and were hugely overrated and did I mention they were animated? And that "Narnia" isn’t?

Oh, and "Narnia" is being largely funded and produced by billionaire hyper-Christian Walden Media honcho and Republican ideologue Philip Anschutz, a meta-sanctimonious guy who is hell bent on saving us all from the naughty and the salacious by force-feeding more good healthy Christian values to all of America and is now a good time to mention that they plan to market "Narnia" as "Passion of the Christ… for kids"?

The dark clouds of doom, they doth gather.
