Narnia films by Disney (old news) - NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Guh!

How bad can Disney screw this up? Oh well, I guess it was bound to happen.

In case you didn't know...

As if Jackson's LotR wasn't bad enough...

1. Oh, NO! Not The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe!

They're going to screw it up. They just can't help themselves. It's going to turn into a cutesy saccharine good vs. evil flick (what a change).
Well, at least they have "Shrek"'s director. So it won't be a total loss.

2. I don't know if the Shrek director has the restraint

necessary to pull it off (not a big Shrek fan).

Personally I adore the 1970's animated version and I think it's good enough to stand on its own without being remade. Still, I like to see different versions of literary works brought to film - it's just that in this age of big budget extravaganzas, there's usually only one version made, and it usually is made for the lowest common denominator.

We'll see, I guess, but why Disney?

3. Because they can.

It's part of their master plan to Disnefy every piece of popular literature. Theme Lunchboxes don't make themselves, you know!
