Blu-ray.com Reviews Dawn Treader, Includes Aspect Ratio Comparison

by Glumpuddle · April 2, 2011

Fox has has a lot to live up to this Easter. The Blu-ray releases of the first two Narnia films both received perfect scores for video and audio quality. Now, Blu-ray.com has posted their review of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Blu-ray. In the reviewer’s opinion, VDT “looks cheaper than its lavish predecessors, which were shot on film rather than digital.”

The film was released theatrically with an aspect ratio of 2.39:1, but it will be presented in 1.78:1 for this release. Some feared this meant Fox would chop off parts of the frame, but it appears they have done the opposite. Fox has expanded the top and bottom, so now fans will be able to see more than they did in theaters. View the comparison below:

Here is how Blu-ray.com rated the Dawn Treader Blu-ray… Video: 4/5 Audio: 4.5/5 Extras: 3/5 Overall: 3/5

That's awesome! Wish I had Blu-ray though…

Ohhhh, so that's what happened to all the crucial plot details and character development – it was hiding behind those black borders all along! 😉

Third Comment! In case some of you didn't see my poll earlier, I want to post it again. What does Polly Plummer look like to you? List hair, eyes, ect… Thanks!

To me she has brown hair, blue eyes, and she is not too short, but not too tall. 😀

Oops, I meant HAZEL eyes! 😉

We just got a Blu-ray recently, but I'm looking at these pictures and I think I like the original one better… but that's ok.

I imagined her w/ brown hair and bangs that go straight across the forehead. And she's pretty, but not, like, drop dead-gorgeous. And she had either light brown eyes, or hazel: like Christ's girl said (love the name 🙂 )!!

Aww, awesome. Wish i had blu-ray, simply for the sake of watching Narnia…

Click on my name to see what I think she looks like. 😉 Like a certain famous singer…

Thats nice that the blu-ray shows more, but the color quality is different and is rather flat (it has low tonal values). I don't like it when movies are changed from how they were in theaters. This is why I HATE blu-ray and refuse to convert from DVD!

You can adjust color on your TV.

The trailer screen cap definitely has truer blacks, witch gives it a much more rich feel, but I think that may be due to whatever they used for the second screen cap, that diluted the blacks. just a thought.

It will look exactly the same on DVD, except worse. A Blu-ray release of a film will ALWAYS look more like what you saw in theaters than a DVD will.

And it may be a screen-capturing issue.

thats blu ray? it looks terrible. just look at the difference. the original is so rich in color and looks pure and realistic. the blu ray one looks….well, blue! it has a blue tint to it. whats up with that? who cares about the extra inch of screen on the top and bottom?

Eustace Scrubb, reformed brat. LOL!!!

It is probably a screen capturing issue.

As Blu-ray.com's website says, their screen caps are not representative of the quality Blu-ray offers. You can't capture that in a screenshot.

No, it's not a screen capturing issue. The reviewer on Blu-Ray.com mentions that the finished film has a more natural colour-palette than its trailer:

"Color is also largely well represented, although you may notice that the screenshot from the trailer has vibrant, stylized colors, while it appears that the filmmakers decided to go for a more natural palette for the finished product."

It was the same in theaters. I remember watching the international trailer and how rich and vibrant the close-up of dragon-Eustace's eye looked. In theaters, the close-up was still rich and vibrant, but the overal shot was a lot lighter.

Now, it has nothing to do with the quality of Blu-Ray (narnian resident). It is just the way the filmmakers decided to display the movie. If you really like the look of the colours in the trailer, you can always adjust the settings on your TV and watch the movie then 🙂

How to Train Your Dragon had the same thing: the Blu-Ray disc was higher in contrast than the movie was in theaters.

I was wodering…. Do they notify Narnia web with a casting call? Thanks! 🙂

Not necessarily! This isn't the first time I've seen a color/lighting difference in blu-ray compared to DVD and the theatrical release. I've also seen the film sped up more than once. Besides, there's something about the movement in blu-ray that's too real, and it bothers my eyes after a while.

I've been comparing trailer screenshots to Blu-Ray screenshots myself, and I can say that there are definitely parts of the movie where the left and right sides have been cropped. So be aware that even though there is picture gained, there is also picture lost – even if it's not in every shot, as the blu-ray.com screenshots show.

Just Queen, not High Queen: You do realize this can work the other way around as well, right? And frequently does? As a rule of thumb, a movie will generally look better on Blu-Ray than on DVD. It's not even a matter of opinion, it's simple mathemathics. If you've come across the odd BD release that looks worse than the DVD, then that is not a BD that's representative of what the format has to offer. As with all technology, it's all in how it is used… If the people doing the authoring don't know what they're doing, then obviously it'll look bad no matter how awesome the format is. But the same can be said of DVD and any other format you can think of. And believe me, I've seen more than my share of DVD's that had utterly horrible picture quality .

Cheapskates at Fox! The Blu-ray colors compared to the theatrical trailer's are so dull!!!! No wonder it looked cheap on Blu-ray!!!!

Anybody know?

This is correct. The final color grading is done long after the trailers are released. Not surprising that there would be discrepancies between the two. I actually want to see the Blu Ray release, just because I was denied Dante Spinotti's intended vision, being forced to see it with the atrocious 3D conversion.

Wow…so many things wrong this post. Full of fail.

You just made my day 🙂

i think the more vibrant coloring is more aproppriate for a fantasy film like this- same with the posters

Are they rating the movie, or the Blu-ray conversion?

Seems like not many people read the note at the bottom: "Either way, the same master used for the Blu-ray will be used for the DVD. It has nothing to do with the Blu-ray format."

I think that's just a poor picture example…

in my imagenation,polly has golden or blond hair(straight or a bit wavy),blue eyes,a bit shorter than digory,smooth pink cheeks…:)

i think they do! i mean,they showed us casting call informations b4:) ex.PC,VDT…

Thanks, Lucia(love the name :))! I'll look around to about the time of when they green lit VDT and see if it has a casting call.

Wow in those pictures the color in the trailer looks way better. We have to Blue-ray and the DVD and though I have only seen it in Blue-ray I think the Blue-ray is sweet! That picture above does not do it justice….

Having no black borders is great, but the color of the blu- ray pic is not as bright as the first pic

Yes, I think she would be blonde with blue eyes, but i think she would be a little taller and older than digory

Just Queen, not High Queen is right. Something about blu-ray looks too real, and the movements don't look quite natural, making cgi and animated stuff just not look as good as they do on a normal dvd

Film / The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Edit locked.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a 2010 fantasy-adventure film based on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader , the third novel in C. S. Lewis ' epic fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia (and fifth in internal chronological order). It is the third installment in The Chronicles of Narnia film series from Walden Media . This is the first film in the series to be distributed by 20th Century Fox , as Walt Disney Pictures chose not to produce the film after a budget dispute with Walden Media (but they did buy the rights to this film after they brought Fox nearly a decade later, ironically ). It is the only film in the series to be released in Digital 3D.

The film is set three Narnian years after the events of Prince Caspian. The two youngest Pevensie siblings, Edmund ( Skandar Keynes ) and Lucy ( Georgie Henley ), are transported back to Narnia along with their cousin Eustace Scrubb ( Will Poulter ). They join the new king of Narnia, Caspian (Ben Barnes), in his quest to rescue seven lost lords and to save Narnia from a corrupting evil that resides on a dark island. Each character is tested as they journey to the home of the great lion Aslan at the far end of the world.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader provides examples of:

• Action Girl : Due to being visibly older, Lucy now gets to have action scenes too.
• Caspian's worry that he won't be as good a king as his father is played up much more.
• Edmund experiences much more jealousy over having to answer to Caspian as a king than he did in the book. It's also shown that he's still haunted by Jadis seducing him.
• Lucy's jealousy of Susan's beauty is expanded. In the book, she almost reads the spell to become more beautiful than her sister but is stopped by Aslan at the last minute. Here, she steals the spell and reads it later on the boat, getting a huge nightmare sequence where she imagines that she is Susan, Lucy never existed, and her siblings never heard of Narnia because Lucy wasn't there to find the passage through the wardrobe. Aslan then appears in her dream to admonish her.
• The argument at the Deathwater Island was just a random incident in the book, and implied to be partly the result of a sinister magical influence. In the film, it's the escalation of a lot of conflict that's been building up for a while.
• Eustace has his epiphany and is turned back from being a dragon before they've even left the island. Here, he doesn't get turned back until the end.
• Ramandu's daughter only appears at Aslan's Table. Here she is foreshadowed as the Blue Star that guides the sailors to the various islands and serves to warn them about the Dark Island. She also gains a name.
• Peter Pevensie's whereabouts are unmentioned outside of Lucy referencing him and Susan being on adventures. The book explains he was staying with Professor Kirke to study for an exam, and that due to the Professor's reduced circumstances, Edmund and Lucy were unable to join him.
• Why Lord Bern stayed in the Lone Islands is never explained. In the book, he fell in love and decided to settle down there, having had enough of the sea and not wanting to return to Narnia while Miraz was in power.
• The seven Lords having swords associated with Aslan. At the time when they set sail, Aslan was known only as a myth believed by fantastical creatures and as a likely enemy to Telmarines like them.
• Averted when the Dufflepuds come to get Lucy to recite the spell to make them visible (only a female or the book's owner can cause spells to work), one of them notes that Gael is also a girl. However, the Dufflepuds then note that Lucy has a book next to her, indicating that she knows how to read, and kidnap her.
• Eustace's teasing rhyme indicates that the parents of the Pevensie children are no longer living. But this is not based on anything in the book where their parents, while never seen, are implied to both be alive and well. It is said that the Pevensie parents were visiting America during the time that Edmund and Lucy were visiting with Eustace and his parents. The movie does not indicate any alternate fate.
• Adaptational Angst Upgrade : Poor Lord Bern fares rather badly here. In contrast to the book where he was Happily Married with several daughters and a handsome estate at Bernstead, the movie has him imprisoned for an unknown period of time with no mention of his family and his regret about leaving the other lords is more pronounced.
• Adaptational Context Change : In the book, Caspian's desire to travel to the end of the world is treated as grossly irresponsible with everyone calling him out for shirking his responsibilities as king. In the movie no one has a problem with it.
• In the book, Lucy finds a spell in Coriakin's house that will help her hear what her friends say about her. She uses it and then witnesses a friend being pressured into saying nasty things about her. Aslan later scolds her for this, and tells her that the friend did not mean the things she said. The book also shows her what would happen if she used another spell that would make her "beautiful beyond the lot of mortals". In the movie, this is replaced with the Susan nightmare sequence.
• Ramandu, despite being mentioned a few times, never actually appears in the movie.
• Age Lift : Lord Drinian in the book is just a few years older than Caspian, here he’s at least in his forties( his actor Gary Sweet was fifty-one during the filming).

• When Drinian mentions the possibility of encountering sea serpents, Edmund and Caspian scoff at him for believing in such superstitions.
• Also the Minotaur amongst the crew mocks Eustace for asking a seagull if it knows where food is.
• Also, The Island Where Dreams Come True. Originally a very scary island, but only important because a lord was there. Now, it's known as the Dark Island and is the source of the evil mist .
• Asskicking Leads to Leadership : Kings Edmund and Caspian are both extremely proficient swordsmen, and Lucy's not half-bad herself.
• Ball of Light Transformation : Lilliandil, Ramandu's daughter, falls from the sky as a blue star before taking human form. Then she rises up again in the same shape. It's implied, though, that the star is her true form and that she could take any she wish. Lilliandil: If [my beauty] is a distraction, I can change form.
• Beauty Equals Goodness : Eustace's dragon form is rather noble-looking creature, while the sea serpent is a hideous near- Eldritch Abomination .
• Edmund is still resentful of always being number 2 and he reveals his hidden envy of Peter and Caspian. He still secretly desires to have absolute power . He gets better however.
• Lucy secretly isn't happy with herself and she envies her older sister's beauty and life to the point that she wishes she had Susan's life . She gets better.
• Caspian is still broken over Susan and is borderline obsessed with the Pevensies and the world they come from, almost to the point of living between worlds. His issues with his father are also still completely unresolved. He gets better too.
• Behemoth Battle : There is a brief one between Eustace in Dragon-form and a Sea serpent.
• Berserk Button : Eustace accidentally presses Reepicheep's button when he grabs his tail. The great Aslan himself gave Reepicheep that tail, and " no one touches the tail, period, exclamation mark!"
• Bittersweet Ending : The threat of Dark Island is defeated, Eustace has become a Friend of Narnia, and Reepicheep makes it to Aslan's Country, but Edmund and Lucy can no longer return to Narnia although Aslan reassures Lucy that they will meet again. It also serves as one for the Walden Media series, providing a decent send off for the original cast but setting up a Sequel Hook for the Silver Chair that would never be followed up on.
• Bratty Half-Pint : Eustace. It's extraordinarily difficult not to hate him until his Character Development finally kicks in.
• Brick Joke : The torch Edmund lost in Narnia during Prince Caspian not only returns, but gets bumped up to Chekhov's Gun . That's right, the thing still works!
• Call My Name : Edmund and Lucy constantly call each other's name when they're separated from each other, talking to each other or if they're in danger.
• Gael Rhince’s daughter, who isn't in the book. In a sense she acts as someone for Lucy to be a big sister to, having spent two films as the baby of the group.
• The Minotaur Tavros and the faun crewmen were also created for the movie as the book had an all human crew with the exception of Reepicheep.
• Central Theme : Temptation, and how it's a better idea to not give in to some desires.
• Chewing the Scenery : Eustace's temper tantrum upon coming aboard the Dawn Treader, and arguably a few other occurrences. This didn't stop with Will Poulter's physical acting; even when lacking the ability to speak, our dragon friend manages the odd nibble.
• Color-Coded Patrician : King Caspian always wears a purple shirt or tunic. The exact shade is very close to the royal purple worn in the past by nobility.
• Goldwater Island and Dragon Island have been combined into a single volcanic isle.
• Ramandu's daughter explains everything that her father did in the book and he does not appear.
• In what could be also considered a Sequel Hook , Jill Pole, one of the protagonists of The Silver Chair , gets a brief mention at the end of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader .
• The Battle of Beruna from the first film is depicted on the border of Coriakin's map
• In the same film, as in the corresponding book, the Stone Knife from the first film/book gets a brief appearance and mention. Probably confusing for anyone who hasn't either read the books or got a very good visual memory, since it's never named as such in the first film.
• Cool Ship : The Dawn Treader , of course.
• Creative Closing Credits : As a departure from the first two films, the end credits use illustrations from the books.
• In the book, the downsides of the transformation are considered by Eustace in a way that couldn't really translate into film. The price of that power was total isolation from humanity - forever.
• Dark Is Evil : As a massive departure from the original book, the Nightmare Island is now a villain. In the novel it was a horrifying Wacky Wayside Tribe , significant mainly as a place where the characters had to confront inescapable fear.
• Dashing Hispanic : Even though he's since lost his Telmarine accent from the last movie, Caspian technically is still one.
• Dies Differently In The Adaptation : An odd case. In the books Lord Octesian's final fate was ambiguous with the characters speculating that he either was turned into the dragon Eustace saw or was devoured by it. Here his bones are found among the treasure, but how he died is never explained since no dragon is present on the island.
• Distracted by the Sexy : Invoked by the star, Ramandu's daughter. Lilliandil : If [my beauty] is a distraction, I can change form. Caspian and Edmund : NO!
• Does Not Know His Own Strength : Tavros the Minotaur; while laughing with another crew member at Eustace's expense, he pats the man on his back with enough force for him to bump against the boat.
• Don't Touch It, You Idiot! : Played with. Caspian and Edmund warn the sailors of eating the food at Aslan's Table, believing it to be a Schmuck Banquet which has already made the three remaining Lords fall into enchanted sleep. When Lilliandil arrives, however, she tells them that the food is free for the taking, and the enchanted sleep had a different origin entirely. (The novel has a similar scene but doesn't employ this trope, as nobody from the Dawn Treader is willing to touch the food until Ramandu's daughter tells them it's safe.)
• Dragon Rider : Reepicheep spends a good deal of scenes on top of Eustace's head.
• Dream Within a Dream : Lucy dreams that she is Susan and that she is in the USA with her only two siblings, Peter and Edmund. She wakes up from this dream to have Aslan appearing in a mirror and talking to her. Then she wakes up from this dream - and is now awake in Narnia.
• Early-Bird Cameo : Aunt Alberta mentions Jill Pole at the end of the film, though why she's coming to visit is uncertain, as in the book they weren't friendly to each other at all, and if given a choice likely wouldn't come over. However, it may also be an attempt to better develop Eustace for his leading role in The Last Battle , assuming the series gets that far.
• Empty Piles of Clothing : When looking for Eustace, Edmund and Caspian come across the dragon's treasure hoard, the remains of one Telmar lord, and Eustace's discarded (and slightly singed) clothing.
• Failed a Spot Check : Once again, Lucy is the only person paying attention enough to notice the Mermaid following the ship, suddenly stop in its tracks and start to silently scream "Don't go that way! TURN BACK!"
• Fire-Forged Friends : Reepicheep with Eustace, once the former takes him under his wing and especially once the latter has become a dragon .
• Foreshadowing : At various points in the film, Edmund brings up the idea of the ship running into a sea monster. So guess whose deepest fear Dark Island uses to create one?
• Furry Confusion : In-universe example — the crew laugh at Eustace for talking to some random seagull and expecting it to talk back. But Dumbass Has a Point : he's in a magic land full of talking animals, why the sudden Arbitrary Skepticism , from a minotaur no less?
• A distinct change from the book, where Eustace (due to "reading the wrong books") is subject to utter Genre Blindness .
• However, Eustace is quite ignorant of some very important basic facts about dragons.
• Two Girls to a Team : The film adaptation added a young Narnian girl named Gael who becomes Lucy's friend on the ship. Susan appears in the film as well, but only as a cameo.
• Seven Deadly Sins : The film adds a plot arc, not present in the book, where the characters must collect seven magic swords by resisting various temptations that correspond to these sins.
• The Ghost : Ramandu, who is mentioned but never appears.
• Grand Finale : Of this continuity of films, at least.
• Green-Eyed Monster : The Mist is a literal monster made manifest by this trope, sharing this colour and bringing out hidden envy in several characters, as envy is also a form of the desires it exploits.

• In the scene when Lucy has Susan's body, the first person she sees is Edmund who walks with her arm in arm saying, " You're beautiful, sister ". And Peter even joins them.
• Informed Attractiveness : Lucy is jealous of Susan's beauty. Then again, this is mostly a case of sibling rivalry so it's justified either way. It's more to do with Susan being taken to America and having boys chasing her. Lucy just assumes it's because of Susan's looks.
• Instantly Proven Wrong : We first see Edmund trying to enlist in the army. Since he's underage, he's trying to pass his Aunt Alberta's identification off as Albert A. Then Lucy comes up and calls him by name.
• Irony : Meta-example. Eustace is younger than Lucy. Will Poulter is 2-1/2 years older than Georgie Henley .
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall : Eustace lives at Cambridge. Guess who else once lived there?
• Little Stowaway : Gael, a Canon Foreigner .
• Magic Pants : When Eustace is transformed into a dragon , it tears up his clothes, though he initially still has the magic armband on. When he turns back, he's fully clothed. (For what it's worth, the book says that Aslan dressed him after turning him back.)
• Mind Rape : Every interaction Edmund has with the Mist in the White Witch's form has shades of this.
• Mirror Monster : A rare heroic example; after Lucy wakes up from her nightmare, Aslan appears next to her in the reflection.
• Mr. Exposition : Coriakin helpfully explains a lot of things about their quest.
• Named by the Adaptation : Ramandu's daughter is named "Lilliandil."
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero : Just as the heroes are about to escape the Dark Island, Lord Rhoop basically tells them "Whatever you do, don't think about the thing you fear most." Though in all honesty, if he's been trapped there fearing for his life for an indeterminate amount of time, no doubt his reasoning and sanity have degraded from what they were.
• The Not-Love Interest : Edmund and Lucy become this, as they constantly look for one another and desperately call each other's name when they are separated. Edmund and Caspian have some elements of this as well as they become like brothers, but their friendship always takes a backseat to Edmund's concern and care for Lucy, when his Big Brother Instinct kicks in. Basically, Lucy is the most important person to Edmund, as his first priority is to take care of her and keep her safe. The same for Lucy, who constantly looks for her brother.
• Not Quite Dead : Eustace. Edmund and Caspian find his charred clothes and thought he died. He didn't .
• Our Mermaids Are Different : In the beginning of the film, Lucy meets a group of aquatic beings in the ocean as she did near the end of the book. However the film replaces the ivory skinned, purple haired Sea People with naiads. While naiads where mentioned in the book versions of the first two films, they were omitted almost entirely save for the River God in the second film. The film naiads are basically similar to the mermaids that appeared near the end of the first film, except instead of being made of flesh, blood, bone, and scale like traditional mermaids, they are made entirely of non-dissolving liquid. The books and classical mythology state that naiads are fresh water nymphs and salt water nymphs are nereids and oceanids. The books and mythology also NEVER state that water nymphs have fish tails. Also falls under Sadly Mythtaken .
• Our Minotaurs Are Different : There are a couple of minotaurs in the film, one of them looks more like a goat rather than a bull.
• Also obviously foreshadowing The Silver Chair .
• Pet the Dog : When Reepicheep sees dragon Eustace crying and unable to sleep, he offers to stay up with him and tell him about some of his adventures.
• Plank Gag : A variant of this old gag is used here: Eustace is attempting to set an oar in a rowboat, nearly loses his balance, and swings it about, knocking out a pirate leader who was sneaking up behind him with a knife.
• Plot Coupon : The Seven Swords belonging to the Lords Caspian seeks.
• The film's main plot, about the mist of evil and gathering the swords, has no basis in the book series at all. On the other hand, the mist and swords help to tie everything together - the original book was a series of short stories tied together by the eponymous boat, the same characters, and the fact that they were trying to find the seven Lords. With the addition of the mist, it gave the story a kind of nebulous Big Bad of a sort.
• The naiads. Naked sea people probably wouldn't fly in a family film these days.
• Eustace turning back into a human happens much later than in the book. While an internal epiphany is much more easily done in a book (that can allow us access to Eustace's thoughts and motivations), his character growth instead happens gradually across the course of the film. Also he didn't do much in the book after he turned back either.
• Ramming Always Works : The crew attempts this against the gigantic sea serpent — but actually succeeds in only making it angry .
• Red Eyes, Take Warning : The White Witch in mist form has these .
• Rousing Speech : Caspian gives one to the crew as they sail into Dark Island, and Reepicheep gives one to dragon Eustace as he tries to flee from the giant sea serpent.
• Satellite Love Interest : Liliandil does get bumped up a little from this compared to the book. In the book she doesn't even have a proper name; here she's given a role as the Blue Star that guides the protagonists to the islands, and takes on her father's role as Mr. Exposition .
• Shout-Out : The closing credits are made up of the original illustrations from the book.
• The Stoic : Drinian is played as this in the movie.
• Sword of Plot Advancement : The seven swords of the seven Lords of Narnia, which must be placed on Aslan's Table to put an end to the evil mist plaguing the area.
• Talking with Signs : I AM EUSTACE "written" in the lava that Edmund sees from being carried in the dragon's claws.
• Thought-Aversion Failure : See Nice Job Breaking It, Hero .
• Throw the Book at Them : In the melee with the slavers, there's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment when Lucy clocks two of them upside the head with their own ledger.
• His eventual reversion is still painful ("like when you pull a thorn from your foot"), but Aslan removing his dragon-skin via Full-Contact Magic is much less physically disturbing than in the book where Aslan literally peels off Eustace's dragon-form with his claws.
• Eustace (in dragon form), with the encouragement of Reepicheep overcomes his fears and beats the crap out of and even sets fire to a kaiju-sized Sea Serpent, then later saves the day by overcoming the Mist and laying the Seventh Sword on the table.
• Also Lucy, who goes from not fighting at all onscreen in the first film, to drawing her dagger with Aslan at her side in the second, to a successful close-quarters combatant on this occasion.
• Visible Invisibility : Actually, the Dufflepuds are completely invisible, even to the audience. One can tell roughly where they are, however, by the footprints they leave and the 'puff' of crystallising breath in the cold air when they speak.
• Vocal Evolution : Eustace's voice grows softer and less-irritating after he returns from being a Dragon .
• Was Once a Man : The dragon the crew of the Dawn Treader encounters on the island of enchanted gold. Better known to them as Eustace Scrubb . But Eustace himself encounters no dragon, unlike in the book.
• Weredragon : Eustace gets transformed into a dragon.
• Edmund towards Lucy, when he's tempted by evil again . He actually tries to convince her to gain power along with him.
• The White Witch's illusion does this to Edmund too.
• What the Hell, Hero? : Lucy calls Caspian and Edmund out after they they are corrupted by the mist .
• What Happened to the Mouse? : Given some Adaptation Expansion here. In the book, the fate of Lord Octesian is left unclear, although he presumably died on Dragon Island; in the film, Eustace finds his skeleton.
• Wolverine Publicity : Much like the last film, the trailer gives the impression that the White Witch is a villain in this film. (To a certain extent she is, at least as far as Edmund is concerned. And you can't help but wonder how many times Edmund has to smack her down before she gets the message and stops trying to tempt him.)
• Wrong Genre Savvy : Eustace assumes a rowboat will row itself on command, and is surprised when it doesn't.
• Xenafication : As with Susan in the other movies, and Prince Caspian especially, Lucy is now far more violent than in the book.
• You Fight Like a Cow : Reep to Eustace.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)

Lucy and Edmund Pevensie are stranded in Cambridge, living in the house of their obnoxious cousin Eustace, while the grown-ups Susan and Peter are living in the USA with their parents. When a painting of a ship sailing on the sea of Narnia overflows water in their room, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace are transported to the ocean of Narnia and rescued by King Caspian and the crew of the ship The Dawn Treader. Caspian explains that Narnia has been in peace for three years but before he took his throne back, his uncle tried to kill the seven lords of Telmar, who were the closest and most loyal friends of his father. They fled to The Lone Island and no one has ever heard anything about them. Now Caspian is seeking out the lords of Telmar with his Captain Drinian, the rat Reepicheep and his loyal men. Sooner they discover that an evil form of green mist is threatening Narnia and the siblings and their cousin join Caspian in a quest to retrieve the seven swords of the seven lords of Telmar to save Narnia from evil.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) 4K

I cap movies based on which movies I happen to buy for myself, as well as what is requested by site visitors. Below you can browse the current requests and add your own. Please note that a request is not a guarantee I’ll cap it – this depends also on whether I can buy the movie (often new movies are requested that aren’t out yet, or very old movies that are hard to find), how much it costs, and how busy I am. I am just 1 person running these sites as a hobby in the little bit of spare time I have left after my own full-time job and family time.

Please note the following rules for making a request:

• Check if the movie you’re asking for, has already been capped. This page lists everything I have capped – search it first!
• Check if the movie you’re requesting, is AVAILABLE on Bluray (1080p) or 4K . I get a lot of requests for completely obscure or very old movies, that are impossible to find on BluRay. If I can’t buy them, I can’t cap them, so please make sure your requested movie is available for sale on mainstream websites like Amazon.com. I’d rather NOT cap movies that are only on old 480p DVD as the quality is so bad. I also get a LOT of requests for 4K versions of movies that do not exist in 4K. I cannot cap what doesn’t exist; please triple check a movie has actually been released in 4K!
• Use your votes wisely. I will give a request with a lot of votes priority, so if you really want a certain movie, it’s better to make 1 request and add all your votes to that one movie, instead of spreading them out over multiple movies. Once a movie is finished, you’ll get all your votes back and can put them on another request.

• Don’t bother asking for TV Shows . I’m not doing TV show requests right now, any shows that are asked for, will be Declined.
• Don’t bother asking for particular scenes or moments. I just cap an entire movie, start to finish, so a certain scene is always included in the regular movie. Requests for only 1 scene or moment will be Declined.
• Don’t bother asking for deleted scenes, behind the scenes, extras, etc. The request list is so long that I don’t have time for any movie’s special features, so I’m just going to Decline these.
• Tips for getting your request filled : make sure you add the movie’s year to the request. If a 4K and a BluRay version of a movie are both requested, I’ll always favor the BluRay version, as these discs are cheaper and the capping is done a lot quicker due to the smaller files. If you really want the 4K version capped, request only that one and not the BluRay version also.

Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Soundtrack

You would certainly expect the hugely successful Bond composer David Arnold to leave you shaken and stirred upon listening to this, his first foray into the world of Narnia, and that indeed is what you get.

No doubt fancying the shift in mood towards the fantasy genre and probably fed up with twiddling his thumbs waiting for Bond 23 – aren’t we all – Arnold manages to fuse his own frenetically-charged Bond signatures with Harry Gregson-Williams’ main themes from the first two films in the series.

Probably best displayed on the pacy “The Painting” and “Sweet Water” Arnold’s stirring strings and Bond bass-like rhythms combine well with William’s more fantastical soarings to give the score a suitably symmetrical book-end coming near the beginning and end. The brief but vibrant “Lone Island” could have been lifted off any of Arnold’s last five Bond scores while the waltzy “Market Forces” and stomping march of “Under the Stars” show exactly how Arnold can master action through music .

That’s not to say the more sombre or slow melodies aren’t also as enjoyable. The soaring “High King and Queen of Narnia” benefits from a fleeting flute interlude between the strings while “1 st Sword” uses the latter with plenty of emotion. The sprightly “Duel” and dark brass of “Coraikin and the Map” also stand out as the album nears completion, although “Aslan Appears ” feels rather tame for what must be such a grand cinematic entrance .

However it’s the 11-minute “Into Battle” which really stands out from the thirty tracks on offer. Pretty much encapsulating the entire score, Arnold’s quiet brass builds with chanting towards a truly rousing climax, showcasing perfectly his action score background. In short, if it were served in a glass , Bond would certainly be drinking it in.

Shaken, stirred? Yes. But we wouldn’t expect anything less.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Soundtrack is released 6 th December.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

C. s. lewis, ask litcharts ai: the answer to your questions.

C. S. Lewis often wrote about Christianity in both his fiction and nonfiction, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is no exception. Rather than directly referencing God or Jesus, the novel instead uses allegories to explore religious ideas. In the world of Narnia, the talking lion Aslan is a Jesus-like figure who dies and comes back to life in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (the first book published in the series). In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader , Aslan continues to play a Jesus-like role in the story. One of the most striking scenes is when Eustace has to transform from a dragon back into a human. In a dreamlike state, Aslan leads Eustace to a well in a garden and helps Eustace strip off his old, scaly dragon skin until Eustace is “reborn” as a human. This passage has clear parallels to the Christian concept of baptism, a religious ceremony where water symbolizes a person’s spiritual cleansing, repentance, and rebirth.

Furthermore, the mysterious country of Aslan that the characters reference throughout the story seems to be this world’s version of heaven. The few things that Edmund and Lucy learn about Aslan’s country make it clear that it is some sort of paradise, but to reach it, you have to cross over the World’s End , in a process that seems similar to death. At the end of the novel, Aslan tells Edmund and Lucy that they’ll never see Narnia again but they will see him again, entering his country through their own world instead of Narnia. This further establishes that Aslan is like Christ and that his country is like heaven, even within the “real world” of the novel. In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader , C. S. Lewis uses allegorical elements like the talking lion Aslan and his strange country in order to suggest that the Christian journey can be challenging and even dangerous, but ultimately transformative for those who persevere.

Christianity Quotes in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Where sky and water meet, Where the waves grow sweet, Doubt not, Reepicheep, To find all you seek, There is the utter East.

“You needn’t be afraid of me, boy,” he said. “I’ll treat you well. I bought you for your face. You reminded me of someone.”

“May I ask of whom, my Lord?” said Caspian.

“You remind me of my master, King Caspian of Narnia.”

“Well, anyway, I looked up and saw the very last thing I expected: a huge lion coming slowly toward me. And one queer thing was that there was no moon last night, but there was moonlight where the lion was. So it came nearer and nearer. I was terribly afraid of it. You may think that, being a dragon, I could have knocked any lion out easily enough. But it wasn’t that kind of fear. I wasn’t afraid of it eating me, I was just afraid of it—if you can understand.”

“I will say the spell,” said Lucy. “I don’t care. I will.” She said I don’t care because she had a strong feeling that she mustn’t.

But when she looked back at the opening words of the spell, there in the middle of the writing, where she felt quite sure there had been no picture before, she found the great face of a lion, of The Lion, Aslan himself, staring into hers.

“Oh, Aslan,” said she, “it was kind of you to come.”

“I have been here all the time,” said he, “but you have just made me visible.”

“You can’t know,” said the girl. “You can only believe—or not.”

The King took the bucket in both hands, raised it to his lips, sipped, then drank deeply and raised his head. His face was changed. Not only his eyes but everything about him seemed to be brighter.

“Yes,” he said, “it is sweet. That’s real water, that. I’m not sure that it isn’t going to kill me. But it is the death I would have chosen—if I’d known about it till now.”

“What do you mean?” asked Edmund.

“It—it’s like light more than anything else,” said Caspian.

“That is what it is,” said Reepicheep. “Drinkable light. We must be very near the end of the world now.”

“Dearest,” said Aslan very gently, “you and your brother will never come back to Narnia.”

“Oh, Aslan!!” said Edmund and Lucy both together in despairing voices.

“You are too old, children,” said Aslan, “and you must begin to come close to your own world now.”

“Only two more things need to be told. One is that Caspian and his men all came safely back to Ramandu’s Island. And the three lords woke from their sleep. Caspian married Ramandu’s daughter and they all reached Narnia in the end, and she became a great queen and the mother and grandmother of great kings. The other is that back in our own world everyone soon started saying how Eustace had improved, and how “You’d never know him for the same boy”: everyone except Aunt Alberta, who said he had become very commonplace and tiresome and it must have been the influence of those Pevensie children.

Book Review

The voyage of the dawn treader — “the chronicles of narnia” series.

• Adventure , Fantasy

Readability Age Range

• HarperCollins Children's Books, a division of HarperCollins

Year Published

This fantasy adventure is the fifth book in ” The Chronicles of Narnia ” series by C.S. Lewis, although it was originally published as the third book in the series. HarperCollins Children’s Books, a division of HarperCollins is the publisher.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is written for kids ages 8 and up. The age range reflects readability and not necessarily content appropriateness.

Plot Summary

Edmund and Lucy are spending the summer with their annoying cousin Eustace when all three children are pulled through a magical painting and find themselves in the fantasy world of Narnia. Instead of being in the land of Narnia itself, the children are aboard a sailing ship called the Dawn Treader , and they take part in King Caspian X’s quest to find the seven lost lords of Narnia who went to explore the uncharted Eastern Seas and never returned. Three years have past in Narnian time since the children last saw Caspian.

The Dawn Treader’s first stop is the Lone Islands where the main characters, including Caspian, are kidnapped by slavers. Caspian ultimately manages to re-establish Narnian lordship over the isles, abolish the slave trade there and discover one of the missing lords. Next, the crew endures several days of stormy weather before landing on an island where Eustace is enchanted and turns into a dragon. It is revealed that one of the lost lords was also turned into a dragon and died in that form. Eustace is spared when Aslan, a lion who rules Narnia, changes him back into a human. Then the Dawn Treader narrowly escapes being wrecked by a sea monster before reaching Deathwater Island, a place where they find one of the lost lords turned into a gold statue at the bottom of an enchanted pool.

At the next island, invisible people capture the crew. The captors need a young girl to break their curse. Lucy goes to the abandoned home of a magician and finds the right spell to reverse their invisibility. Lucy is successful, and Aslan arrives to offer her encouragement. The adventurers, along with the crew, set sail again, and rescue one of the lost lords from an island of eternal nightmares. The final three lords are discovered on the island of Ramandu, where they have been under an enchanted sleep for seven years.

With their mission completed, Caspian and his crew decide to sail further and try to reach the world’s end. After a short while, Aslan instructs Caspian to travel home, but without Edmund, Lucy, Eustace and Reepicheep. Reepicheep sails past the end of the world and into Aslan’s country, and Aslan sends the three children back to their own world.

Christian Beliefs

Aslan is a mighty lion, and his character is representative of Jesus Christ. Edmund tells Eustace that Aslan is the son of the unseen Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea. In earlier books in this series, Aslan redeemed Narnia from an endless winter and gave his life to save Edmund. He shows himself briefly when Edmund and Caspian are about to duel, when Lucy is tempted to cast a spell to make herself inhumanly beautiful and when Caspian is about to abandon his kingdom and sail to the end of the world. Aslan is called the highest of all kings, and courageous deeds are done in Aslan’s name. Lucy calls out to Aslan for help, and he delivers the Dawn Treader from the fog of nightmares surrounding the Dark Island. At the end of the novel, Aslan appears to Edmund, Lucy and Eustace as a lamb, before changing into his traditional form. Lucy laments that she doesn’t want to leave Narnia because her own world doesn’t have Aslan in it. He tells her that he does exist in her world, but goes by a different name — the children were allowed to enter Narnia so they could recognize him better on Earth.

When Eustace is desperate to turn from a dragon back into a human, he tries to scratch off his dragon skin, but Aslan has to remove his skin for him. Aslan throws Eustace under water, and Eustace rises from the water as a whole person.

Reepicheep hopes to journey to the end of the world because he believes Aslan’s country, a representation of heaven, is there. Lucy questions whether Aslan’s country is a location that can be reached by physical means. Reepicheep ends the novel by sailing up a waterfall and into Aslan’s country.

Some of the books Lucy finds in the magician’s study are said to be larger than any church Bible. When Lucy first spies the albatross that leads the ship to safety, it looks similar to a cross. Humans from our world are called either Sons of Adam or Daughters of Eve.

Other Belief Systems

Magic appears throughout the novel. The Dufflepuds live on an island overseen by a magician named Coriakin. Lucy is recruited to go into the magician’s house and find his book of spells. When she utters a spell to see what her friends secretly think of her, the narrator pointedly says he will not write down the actual words of the spell. Lucy casts one more spell to make hidden things visible, causing the Dufflepuds to re-appear. Aslan has ordained Coriakin the Magician as the ruler of the island, though Coriakin says he wishes the Dufflepuds could be ruled by wisdom instead of magic. Three of the lost lords are put under an enchanted sleep because one of them grabbed a forbidden stone knife, the same one used by the White Witch to kill Aslan.

Some magic is tied to a location, and some seems to occur naturally. Eustace becomes a dragon, but he simply falls asleep thinking greedy thoughts and wakes up as a dragon. This enchantment is not explained. Reepicheep says that Deathwater Island has a curse on it, but no one discusses who or what might have set the curse in place. The Dark Island is called accursed.

The White Witch, a magic-using villain from a previous book, is mentioned. Edmund suggests that Ramandu’s daughter might be a witch. Ramandu and Coriakin are stars at rest, literal heavenly stars who have been sent to live in Narnia for a time.

Authority Roles

Eustace’s parents do not appear in the novel, but they are mentioned. They consider themselves progressive and will not smoke, drink alcohol or eat meat. They allow Eustace to call them by their first names, and when Eustace becomes kinder after his trip to Narnia, his mother does not like the change in him.

Edmund and Lucy’s parents are also absent — their father is lecturing in America and their mother is spending the summer with him. Their older sister, Susan, accompanies their parents because they believe she will enjoy America more than her siblings. It is too expensive to take all the children.

King Caspian seems to be in his late teens, but he is treated as an adult and serves as the chief authority figure aboard the Dawn Treader. Caspian shows hospitality to his English guests, providing for their needs and making them as comfortable as possible, even letting Lucy take his own cabin as her own while she is on the Dawn Treader .

Caspian insists that Edmund and Lucy, as former rulers of Narnia, should be treated with respect, and he is patient with Eustace’s constant complaints. He experiences some lapses in judgment, such as when he takes a party ashore on the Lone Islands without first learning if the inhabitants are still friendly. His lack of foresight causes his friends to be captured by slavers, but he later uses his ingenuity to save them. Caspian displays greed and selfishness when he fights with Edmund at Deathwater Island, and he becomes angry and demanding when he wants to see the world’s end, abusing his authority by saying that no one aboard the ship has the right to contradict his wishes. Reepicheep reminds Caspian that a king is responsible for his kingdom and subjects and may not leave them behind for private pursuits.

Caspian is called sire and liege , and all members of the crew address Edmund, Lucy and Caspian as Majesty .

Edmund usually defers to Caspian’s authority, but Edmund confronts Caspian on two occasions. On Deathwater Island, Edmund says he is not Caspian’s subject and Caspian actually owes allegiance to him, because Edmund was one of the original Narnian rulers. Again, when Caspian wants to travel to the end of the world, Edmund says that he is not Caspian’s subject and as such, he can contradict Caspian. Edmund is in authority over Eustace, but he has little patience with his cousin, avoids his company and rebukes him for his bad behavior.

Eustace does not recognize any authority or rules, except those that benefit him. He repeatedly requests to meet with a British Consul, a representative of the British Embassy, to air grievances against Caspian.

Lucy holds a unique place in the crew as the only female. She is given special courtesy, and she uses her position to tend the needs of others, especially those of Eustace.

Caspian’s uncle, Miraz, is briefly mentioned as a negative example of authority. Miraz usurped his brother’s throne and strengthened his position by effectively exiling the seven lords who supported Caspian’s father, the rightful king.

The Lone Islands no longer acknowledge Narnia’s lordship over them. Governor Gumpas profits from the local slave trade, but he is deposed and replaced by Lord Bern, who detests slavery and honors Caspian as his king.

Coriakin the Magician rules the island of the Dufflepuds, but the Dufflepuds resent his interference. For their continual disobedience, he turns them into monopods; they have to hop around on one leg.

Aslan is the ultimate authority figure in the novel. When he speaks, he is obeyed.

Profanity & Violence

Eustace is called stinker, blighter and brat . When assonance in poetry is mentioned, Edmund calls it assy-thingummy , though he does not say the word in the same way one would use profanity. For heaven’s sake, by Jove, blasted, blimey, sucking up and drat are used. Reepicheep uses the word poltroon to insult anyone he finds cowardly. A– is used once in reference to a donkey, and once as an insult.

Reepicheep follows a code of chivalry and places a high value on personal combat. He says that the Dawn Treader should have pursued a pirate ship and hanged its crew. When Eustace sneaks up on Reepicheep and swings him around by his tail, Reepicheep retaliates by stabbing Eustace’s hand and hitting him with the flat of his sword. Governor Gumpas is threatened with flogging. When the Lord Octesian dies as a dragon, he convulses and blood flows from his mouth. Shortly thereafter, Eustace, in the form of a dragon, eats Lord Octesian’s remains. A sea serpent attacks the Dawn Treader, but no one is harmed.

Sexual Content

Caspian hints that he’d like to kiss Ramandu’s daughter, but she says that he can’t until he has dissolved the enchantment that holds the three Narnian lords in sleep. The enchantment is broken, and Caspian later marries her. One of the illustrations in one version of this book depicts a topless mermaid.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Description.

The unabridged digital audio edition of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, book five in the classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Derek Jacobi.

The Dawn Treader is the first ship Narnia has seen in centuries. King Caspian has built it for his first voyage to find the seven lords, good men whom his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne. The journey takes Edmund, Lucy, their cousin Eustace, and Caspian to the Eastern Islands, beyond the Silver Sea, toward Aslan's country at the End of the World.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the fifth book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, a series that has been drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over sixty years. This is a novel that stands on its own, but if you would like to continue to the journey, read The Silver Chair, the sixth book in The Chronicles of Narnia.
