The producers perhaps rely a little too much on adding their own ideas (staying "true to Lewis' vision" of course, or other line to that effect) and counting on the Narnia fans to just say "Well, ok, at least the movie is even coming out..." VDT seems to be the book in the series which you have to alter the LEAST. It has the proper balance of action, characters (new and old), and each character and the group have specific goals to achieve (re: Eustace needs to "transform," Reepicheep is fulfilling a prophecy, and the whole group is out to find the lost lords of Narnia). These little deviations from script confuse the narrative...not enough to elicit a sense of total dismay ("it's nothing like the book"), but enough to be irritating...
But, oh well.
At least the movie is even coming out.
