'Dawn Treader' Concept Art on 'Prince Caspian' DVD

DateWednesday, November 26, 2008 at 11:55PM
I haven't made time to watch the Prince Caspian DVD yet; from time to time, Disney will send members of the press its latest DVDs a couple of weeks early to accommodate reviews and the like. Unfortunately, we're a one-man operation here at The Big Picture, and November and December is time to make the donuts. It's a breakneck pace for about six weeks, with all the movies geared for year-end awards shoved down critics' throats at the rate of ten a week.

Had I watched Prince Caspian - a film that, despite its so-so box office, I found to be better than The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe - I would have seen what Film Chat saw: Concept art for Voyage of the Dawn Treader on the Caspian DVD. Dawn Treader is the third Narnia movie, or it will be if they make a third Narnia movie. A few days ago, when Walden Media announced a change at the top of its organization, the company said it hoped to make Dawn Treader, but noted that the film hadn't received the green light yet.

I guess that didn't stop some of Disney's artists from brainstorming what the next film in the franchise might look like, and it's pretty good stuff. (Thanks to Worst Previews for its coverage of this story.)

How sweet does the Dawn Treader look? I'd greenlight the movie just based on that. Which is why I'm writing this story on Thanksgiving break instead of spending my holiday in Bali like a studio executive.
