*The CHRONICLES OF NARNIA* is underrated (Movie Trilogy Reaction) 

Love it

Lucy is the best character and a great female role model for young girls. She made me stronger as a child!

I love the trilogy, this video was so nostolgic!

It pisses me off. I love the "first" movie because it's nostalgic and doesn't stray far from the book. Prince Caspian is a travesty, and the ending of Voyage was completely redone. The series should have never been made the way it was and the directors planned it terribly. I will explain: Book 1: The Magician's Nephew never got a movie. It's about a young boy named Diggory with a magical uncle who created rings that can take you to a magic forest with pools of water. The pools take you to a different world and one of the is a planet with a dying sun. There Diggory finds Jadis the ice witch. He accidentally takes her to Narnia while it is being created by Aslan. Jadis runs away and goes into hiding in Narnia. As a punishment, Aslan makes Diggory go find a magical apple tree and bring him an apple and when Diggory comes back with the apple, he gets to take it home back to our world where his mother is dying. He gives his mom the magic apple to eat and heal her and then plants the apple core. The apple grows into a tree and is chopped down and made into a wardrobe many years later. There's other stuff in this but that's not important for this rant. Book 2: The lion the witch and the wardrobe. The first movie smfh. So we get the 4 siblings staying with an old professor (Diggory!!) and you know what happens.... Book 3: The horse and his boy. This book happens IN THE WORLD OF NARNIA DURING THE TIME THE 4 ROYALS ARE ADULTS IN NARNIA!!!!! I will forever be angry that the best book of the series didn't get a movie 👿👿👿! They should have been separate (but similarly looking) casts for the age differences but it was planned so badly. Book 4: Prince Caspian... The way they utterly butchered this movie is horrendous and shameful. Caspian was supposed to be like... 12 and he had NO romance plot. I don't even wanna go into it or else this comment will be 3x longer. Book 5: Voyage of the Dawn Treader. While this was much better than Prince Caspian I'm still very disappointed. Book 6: The silver chair: Okay so no more movies. Eustace, the annoying cousin come to Narnia with a girl and she falls down a cliff? mountain? idk... He goes on an adventure to retrieve her Book 7: The last battle. I'm a little fuzzy on this book but it's probably better than the whole movie franchise.

Oh damn, that was a long comment 😂

Right what an Era 👌🏾

Best Era of fantasy movies 🥰💕

Such elite fantasy franchises, even pirates of the Caribbean on some level

@ed marks Aslan’s character is the depiction of Jesus.

I am so glad I was a child during that time, I got to have so many amazing movies be part of my childhood. Man, good times.

That's kind of the great thing though about Aslan. He reminds Edmond that just because he was traumatized and made mistakes, doesn't mean he has to hold onto them anymore. The devil is a liar, and a great one at that, who steals and destroys. In this case, Aslan (God) reminds us that we are no longer what we once were and can be made whole again. Kind of beautiful if you ask me!

Absolutely agree with this. Also, to add to this, the sweets appear really to be used symbolically. Edmund feels disconnected and not included or valued in his family before coming to Narnia, of course he would gravitate towards someone who shows him signs of preference or care (sweets). Though I suspect for Lewis it was more biblical reflecting greed, gluttony and valuing of the material as a sin.

Also the drinks and food the witch makes are enchanted to make people follow her

@@zooms5624 yea he really didn’t have much choice

I didn’t think about this being a factor. That is so interesting. I thought of it more being the magic influence the white queen had put in the food from the start.

its like saying you must leave your childhood behind but you will always have the memories

This movie came out 12 or more years ago

@@dontaskwhy615 Exactly 🙌

@@allison3852 Your point 💀💀

@@stuffwithsoph8264 huh

Ok thank you for these 😊

I think the calormenes and the telmarines are different people - speicifcally since the calromens have their own country while the telmarines only think they had a home country and then turns out they're descendants from pirates. almost feel sorry for them for learning that, thinking that they're from one place when really they're not from any place really.

I never understood the professer till i read the books, im glad to know Jadis backstory too

@@jebVlogs556 thats his character flaw in 1 which he proved he grew uop from in the second film

Here’s a timeline for Narnia: narnia.fandom.com/wiki/Narnian_timeline Warning Spoilers… But, basically all the humans in Narnia are descendants from people who originally were from our world. However, keep in mind, the people from our world includes only the following: 1) Frank a cabby driver from England year 1900 (exactly) and his wife Helen. They became the first King and Queen of Narnia. They accidentally are transported into Narnia as they get caught up in the adventure of Polly and Digory who are the protagonists of The Magician’s Nephew book. Frank and Helen stay in Narnia while Digory and Polly (who are unrelated children) go back home to England. Digory becomes The Professor who Peter, Susan, Lucy, and Edmund meet in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Digory is never a King of Narnia. But, they (the children protagonists Digory and Jill, and the adults who accidentally get pulled into their adventure too, Frank and Helen) all witness the literal creation of Narnia. And basically, King Frank and Queen Helen’s descendants populate the land of Narnia in this fantasy world (and at this time they are the only humans in that world)-mainly their descendants live in Narnia (which is a land in the north of this world) as Kings and Queens but over time they branched out and one group of descendants formed a separate kingdom called Archenland, it’s slightly south of Narnia but still considered part of the north. A subgroup of people from Archenland who are outlaws flee and then establish the kingdom of Calormen which is in the south of this world and is across a desert. So Calormenes are descendants from King Frank and Queen Helen. 2) There is one other group of people who came from our world to Narnia and they were pirates who happened upon a rare cavern that had a magical link to Narnia. This is explained at the end of the Prince Caspian movie by Aslan. All humans in our world are considered by C.S. Lewis to be related to one another and all descendants from Adam and Eve from the Bible. So, C.S. Lewis makes it clear in Prince Caspian that all the people are considered worthy, equal to one another in this other world too. In Aslan’s eyes they are all children of Adam and Eve, and if they choose to be good people, are worthy to rule over Narnia. Caspian is a Telamarine, so he is a descendant from the group of pirates who came to Narnia from our world. The land of Telmar is to the West of Narnia. It’s a separate land from Narnia (which is to the north) and Calormen (which is to the south). None of the protagonists of the 7 books in the Narnia series (the children who go to Narnia from 1900, Polly and Digory, to 1949, Eustace and Jill) stay in Narnia and have descendants-they all go back to our world before they get married to anyone in Narnia. In the last book, The Last Battle, Narnia falls by Calormen and certain Narnian animals making a deal together. Basically a certain evil plan is made between some Narnian animals and some people from the competing kingdom of men (again those who originally were descendants from King Frank and Queen Helen and were the outlaws who fled from Archenland. They’re not the people from Telmar that originally were pirates from our world) from the nation to the south, Calormen, and Narnia falls. I won’t reveal the huge spoiler, but basically you learn about the afterlife in The Last Battle. And yes, Aslan’s country is a metaphor for the afterlife-not meaning the current land of Narnia. You will hear metaphors for Narnia though in other books such as The Horse and His Boy, where they say, To the north! Which means, let’s go to Narnia! Because it’s geographically located northernly in their world. There you go, that’s a brief history of this world. It’s far from complete but gives you a better understanding. Note: And Jadis, who is the White Witch, isn’t a human at all. She is from another world called Carne. Which you learn about also in The Magician’s Nephew. Technically the movies weren’t very clear or maybe accurate with the White Witch because she’s supposed to be very white-basically inhumanely so. Though, it is true that Jadis pretends to be human and (I can’t remember if they say it in the movie, but they do in the books) she tries to establish herself as being a legitimate ruler of Narnia by claiming to be human-although she’s not. It’s hard to explain-a lot of this comes from The Magician’s Nephew-but the original King Frank and Queen Helen who were Narnia’s first rulers and made rulers by Aslan and this was witnessed by all the animals at the creation of Narnia-it’s something that all the Narnian animals respect and basically they see as a qualification to rule Narnia, since it was what Aslan established at the beginning. So, that’s why Jadis says she’s human because to the animals that would give weight to her claim to the throne. But of course they know it’s a lie and so they never accept her as a legitimate Queen of Narnia.

👌👏

Preach Lucy is a queen and the truest leader, her and aslan’s bond was so beautiful

Peter is actually more like biblical John. Loyal and a leader, but a 'son of thunder' and had to learn to wait on God and not be hot-headed. Susan is more like the rich young ruler and Nathaniel, who liked Jesus but were more interested in worldly things. Edmund is most like the disciple Simon Peter, because he betrayed his own and then was restored stronger than ever. He parallels Judah a little in that sense, but Edmund repents. Lucy is a little like John as well, but mostly she represents the childlike faith we should have. Eustace is definitely Paul, in that he is staunchly against all of it until God himself ails him physically and reproved his unbelief. Idk about Caspian, but he also seems Pauline and maybe a little Davidic, in that he was a traveler and was almost killed for the throne.

@@Adronitis I kinda pictured Caspian being the Gentile representation.

I like Lucy the best as well.

Yea the first one been with me since childhood lol

What was it like? I wish I watched it in theaters but I was currently about to be born

@@dontaskwhy615 It was epic; truly one of those movies that is an experience to watch on the big screen :)

Dads in movie theaters are the best at commentary, when I saw it there was two dads who laughed so loud at all the jokes and when I saw frankenweenie there was a dad next to my dad that was full on sobbing

If you pick up the first and last books, 'The Magician's Nephew' and the frankly apocalyptic 'The Last Battle', it becomes even more evident. I don't mind though, as Lewis is pretty honest about it the whole way through. The least hidden agenda ever!

THANK YOU!!

wooow all these years and i never realized that. i always wondered why _those_ traits were given to their titles, and this explanation makes so much sense!

@@noodledogs they need to make more narnia movies are the chronicles of narnia 4 the silver chair made by columbia pictures, the chronicles of narnia 5 the horse and his boy made by new line cinema, the chronicles of narnia 6 the magician's nephew made by paramount pictures, and the chronicles of narnia 7 the last battle made by new line cinema.

I died lol 💀

In my head, Susan grew older, still in the real world but as her beauty began to fade, she began losing her charm and finally she starts believing again. When she passed, she reunited with her siblings in Narnia. Idk her being the only one left alone broke my heart so I reunited them in my headcannon😭

Eustace lived

@@shinzouwosasageyo2785 Sounds about right.

@@isaacbyrne2554 No, he doesn't. All of them die except Susan.

No, he didn't... he also died in the train accident along with Diggory, Jill, Edmund, Lucy, Polly, and Peter.​@@isaacbyrne2554

No entendi

I’ve heard of that book before interesting 🧐 I’ll have to check it out

@@LakiaJaiTV The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is definitely the best out of the seven (and was the one Lewis wrote first, but people kept demanding more so he wrote more) but the rest have some good writing in them and good stories as well (though they do get a little racist in some parts though I suppose that should be somewhat expected in texts written in the 1900s, if we're going to love something we have to admit the bad as well as the good). We even meet the white witch before she was the white witch. don't worry I won't spoil anything, apart from commenting that if someone who may have had the last person in the country to have any actual fairy blood tells you to destroy something then that's a pretty clear sign that you should destroy it. I've heard that Lewis was actually planning an 8th book to finish Susan's story (not saying what it is but some people reckon nowadays it was unfair how her story progressed but lewis did have a plan with that progression, and I think they were planning on doing as many of the 7 books as they could with the movie series because they kind of hint at it in Susans scenes in the second movie and on how they were going to rewrite her story), but he died before he could really get started on it so it's up to the fans to think up their own story for her.

What? I never heard of this!

@@LakiaJaiTV me too! I haven read any of the books

Polly

When I was a kid I was too focused on the plot and the magical world but now as an adult prince Caspian is ... 😳

My teacher kept calling caspian hot while watching the movie XD

The books CAN be read by 7-9 year olds but when I read the books at that age, I only saw the fantasy side of things. I’m fifteen now and just reread/ got back into them and there’s just so much depth and meaning behind everyone of Lewis’s stories that most young kids just won’t understand. I literally cried for like, an hour after I finished each one 🥲

@@derekakabane5662 as she should, ben barnes is heavenly

I mean I can’t disagree about Caspian. In my opinion as well, books don’t really have an ‘age limit’, you can experience the magic and imagination at any age

I hope they make more movies too. However I think they might run into problems bringing some things to screen that are described at the end of Last Battle.

Wow, I didn't heard about most of these! Interesting! Also... netflix doing narnia series? That's a big news for me lol I would die of happiness if this happened for real.

damn i wish ben barnes was gonna be my future alumni 😭😭

Also can we blame him? He himself was a kid. He knows there’s a war going on and there’s a chance they wouldn’t see their parents again. He tried to do everything he can to supervise his siblings, of course he can’t always be right. As a kid back then I think most of his actions were valid and wise for a kid.

What are the odds? lol

Yep Eren’s Titan scream 👌🏾👌🏾

Ooh thanks for that nugget of info! I did not know that

It's also why we drive on the left in England, because it would be easier to draw your sword against an enemy if they were on the right side of you (if you're right-handed), but then some guy (i forget who, maybe Napoleon?) was left-handed, so he changed the side of the road and England is one of few countries that either refused or went back to the left after he died.

That's so funny🤣. I recognised him right away... Same pretty face. He looks older with the beard but

Thank you

🤘🏾🤘🏾

Also, yes, Ben Barnes had a bad wig in Prince Caspian. And was actually why I finally admitted that some guys looked better with beards in Voyage. And the third movie.... they didn't think the episodic nature of the book was good for a movie, so added the mist. But I thought it just made it messy. In the book, Caspian totally marries the star's daughter, which is fun. I was always sad they didn't do any of the other books with these actors. Even if the next one (The Silver Chair) wasn't my favourite of the books (I think it was my sister's?). And I forgot how much I had enjoyed the sound track in Prince Caspian, as well as giving the girls a bigger part! (Yeah, I still think you can tell when Lewis met his wife. He suddenly has the girls actually doing something in the books like Horse and His Boy, as compared to all the early books. haha)

😂😂

Thanks for watching lol 🥰

Finally someone understands!

Lol

Yesss I second this so much!!

Thanks 😊

@@LakiaJaiTV you're welcome...😊

Ahh ok the books 👌🏾

@@LakiaJaiTV After reading the books, the magic closet also makes sense

@@LakiaJaiTV There's seven in all and the first and last of the series were the last to be written, to provide a definite beginning and end to the series and to define the world and build on the Christian allegory. They're all worth a read, but I think the best for pure adventure is Silver Chair. A Horse & His Boy is a little dated but is pure Arabian Nights fantasia and I kind of love it. Prince Caspian is one of the best written. Lion is imaginative but he's finding his feet as a writer. Magician's Nephew creates the world and codifies the witch as probably the best and most evil baddy of all time. Last Battle is INSANE.

Same

It was v v good

Eustace tho

Sameee 🤣🤣
