Into the Wardrobe

It looks like Reepicheep will have white fur in the Prince Caspain film. We're almost certain.

What do you all think of this? I'm extremely upset! One of the most beloved characters in the entire series, and they do this. It just won't be Reep.



Excerpt from Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Ch. 1):
You might call it--and indeed it was--a Mouse. But then it was a Mouse on its hind legs and stood about two feet high. A thin band of gold passed around its head under one ear and over the other and in this was stuck a long crimson feather. (As the Mouse's fur was very dark, almost black, the effect was striking.)





Post your thoughts on this here.

A white mouse does not sound like Reepicheep. White isn't a brave enough color. White is namby-pamby and afraid of getting dirty.
I don't like it. Nope. Nope.
Well, I'm already resigned to being disappointed.

Why, I pity the fool!

White?? That is not the Reepicheep I had in mind (or that is in the book). The travesty!

I don't believe it. I will just wait until the film comes out.

That does seem odd. I wonder if there is some particular scene where the background will be so dark that a black mouse would not be visible. Was Reep in the fight in darkness with the hag and werewolf?

When Caspian wakes up in the burrow of the Old Narnians, it might be dark. In the book Reep is met later, but they might want to speed things by having him present in the burrow.

He's a cavalier, three musketeers type; they were dandies, and wore white plumes and white lace shirts etc, didn't they? It might work. Maybe in a fancy red jacket with a big hat.
