I hadn't planned on seeing it. I thought it would be another soulless CGI affair like all the Harry Potter movies where a bunch of stuff happens that's neat to look at it, but really don't add up to much. "Narnia," despite being a Walt Disney picture, isn't too bad, though I'm not sure it's suitable for small children. It's not the most action-packed movie, but the CGI characters (e.g., beavers, and wovles, etc.), for the most part, look like the real thing. Except they talk. A couple times you can tell it's CGI, but it's never distracting. It feels believeable. Having never read the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis, I didn't know what to expect. That's probably why everytime something new happened, I thought, "This is really neat." The voice of the lion provided by Liam Neeson is distracting at first, and perhaps miscast, but otherwise, there isn't much wrong with the movie. It succeeds at telling a nice fairy tale with a good message (i.e., be forgiving to your stupid brother). It may not be a great movie, but it's probably the best kids' movie in theatres right now, and a good movie, regardless. I saw “Narnia” yesterday. I hadn’t planned on seeing it.

But most kids movies like the Disney animated drek are stupid and boring. This New Narnia movie will make a lot of dough. But most kids movies like the Disney animated drek are stupid and boring.

If it weren't, many, many more small movies in all genres and ratings would get made. (I'm not defending the executives. They're almost all walking colostomy bags.)
