DVD NEW: The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader - 2010 Fantasy

Description: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a 2010 high fantasy adventure film directed by Michael Apted from a screenplay by Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, and Michael Petroni, based on the 1952 novel The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third published and fifth chronological novel in the children's book series The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis. The sequel to The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008), it is the third and final installment in The Chronicles of Narnia film series. It is the only film in the series not to be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, which was replaced by 20th Century Fox. However, Disney would eventually own the rights to all the films in the series following the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney in 2019. Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, Ben Barnes, Liam Neeson, Tilda Swinton, William Moseley and Anna Popplewell reprise their roles from the second film, while new cast includes Will Poulter and Simon Pegg. The film is set three Narnian years after the events of Prince Caspian. The two youngest Pevensie siblings, Edmund and Lucy, are transported back to Narnia along with their cousin Eustace Scrubb. They join the new king of Narnia, Caspian, in his quest to rescue seven lost lords and save Narnia from a corrupting evil that resides on a dark island. Each character is tested as they journey to the home of Aslan at the far end of the world. Development on the film began in 2007, while Prince Caspian was still in production. Filming was supposed to take place in Malta, the Czech Republic, and Iceland in 2008 with Michael Apted as its new director, for a planned release in 2009. However, production was halted after a budgetary dispute between Walden Media and Walt Disney Pictures following Prince Caspian's performance at the box office, resulting in Disney's departing the production and being replaced by 20th Century Fox under its Fox 2000 Pictures label. Later, filming took place in Australia and New Zealand in 2009. It is the only film in the series to be released in 3D. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader premiered on November 30, 2010, selected for the Royal Film Performance, before it was theatrically released on December 9 in the United Kingdom and December 10 in the United States. Despite mixed reviews, it was a moderate success at the box office, grossing over $415.6 million worldwide. Despite earning less than its predecessors, it was 20th Century Fox's highest-grossing film in 2010. The song "There's a Place for Us" by Carrie Underwood was nominated for Best Original Song at the 68th Golden Globe Awards. An adaptation of The Magician's Nephew was to be the fourth entry in the film series, but in the fall of 2011, Walden Media's contract with the C. S. Lewis estate expired. REAR COVER Return to the magic and wonder of C.S. Lewis' epic world in this third installment Rotte to the giaCH ONES OF NARN tantasy-adventure series. When Lucy and Edmund Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, are swallowed into a painting and transported back to Narnia, they join King Caspian and a noble mouse named Reepicheep aboard the magnificent ship The Dawn Treader. The courageous voyagers travel to mysterious islands, confront mystical creatures, and reunite with the Great Lion Aslan on a mission that will determine the fate of Narnia itself! DETAILED PLOT Three Narnian years after the events of Prince Caspian, Lucy and Edmund Pevensie are staying with their irritating cousin Eustace Scrubb while their older siblings Peter and Susan are in America as World War II rages on. Edmund is too young to enlist in His Majesty's Armed Forces, to his chagrin. A painting of a ship on the ocean transports Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace into an ocean in Narnia. They are rescued by the Dawn Treader. Caspian invites them on a voyage to rescue the seven Lords of Narnia whom his uncle Miraz banished. In the Lone Islands Caspian and Edmund are imprisoned and Lucy and Eustace are sold as slaves. Caspian meets one of the lost lords, who reveals that unsold slaves are sacrificed to a green mist. The crew of the Dawn Treader rescues Caspian and the others. Caspian outlaws the slave trade and appoints the lord governor. The lord gives Caspian his sword, one of the seven given to the lords by Aslan. On another island, Lucy is abducted by invisible Dufflepuds who force her to enter the manor of the magician Coriakin to find a visibility spell. Coriakin encourages the crew to defeat the mist by laying the lords' swords at Aslan's Table on Ramandu's island but warns they will be tested. Envious of Susan, Lucy recites a beauty incantation she finds, and enters a dream in which she is Susan and neither Lucy nor Narnia exist. Aslan chides Lucy for her self-doubt, explaining that her siblings know of Narnia only because of her. At a third island, another sword is recovered from a pool that turns anything it touches into gold. Wandering alone, Eustace finds a cursed treasure and steals some of it. Searching for Eustace, Edmund and Caspian discover the remains of another of the lords and recover his sword. A dragon approaches, which turns out to be Eustace transformed by the curse of the treasure. Reepicheep befriends Eustace, who has a change of heart and becomes useful to the crew. The crew arrives at Aslan's Table to find three lost lords in an enchanted sleep. As they place the swords on the table, they realize one is missing. A star descends from the sky and transforms into Ramandu's daughter Lilliandil. She guides them to the Dark Island, the lair of the mist, where they discover the last lord. The mist uses Edmund's fear to create a sea serpent that attacks the ship. Eustace fights the serpent, but the panicked lord wounds him with the last sword, causing him to fly away. He encounters Aslan, who transforms him back into a boy for his self-sacrifice and sends him to Ramandu's island with the last sword. As the crew fights the serpent, the mist distracts Edmund by appearing as Jadis, the White Witch. Eustace reaches the table, but the mist tries to stop him from putting the sword on the table with the others. He overcomes the mist, allowing the swords to unleash their magic and bestow Edmund, using Peter's sword, with the power to slay the sea serpent, the death of which awakens the three lords. The mist of the Dark Island is destroyed when they liberate the sacrificed slaves. Eustace rejoins the others, and they sail to a mysterious shore before a massive wave. Aslan appears, telling them that his country lies beyond, although if they go there, they can never return. Caspian's duty as king dissuades him from following his wish to enter Aslan's country, but Reepicheep is determined to enter. Aslan blesses him and he bids farewell to the others. Aslan tells Lucy and Edmund that, like Peter and Susan, they are now too old to return to Narnia. He tells Eustace that he may return one day, and encourages them to know him in their world by another name. He opens a portal to return them to Eustace's bedroom. Eustace hears his mother announcing a visitor, Jill Pole. As they leave the bedroom, they look sadly back at the painting and see the ship voyaging through the waves disappear before Lucy closes the door.
