Narnia for a New Generation
As the third installment, The
Voyage of the Dawn Treader, opens in theaters, Charisma
takes a look at how the Narnia movies have ignited a resurgence of interest in C.S. Lewis’ writings.At the very end of the world—in a breathtakingly beautiful place beyond the sea of lilies and an endlessly frozen wave shimmering in a rainbow of colors—Lucy looks up at Aslan and asks, “Will I see you in your world?”
“I’m in your world as well child, but I go by a different name there,” Aslan says. “That’s the whole reason you came to Narnia. So by knowing me here, you would know me better there.”
The heart-touching scene from the new Chronicles of Narnia film, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, is an especially meaningful one for Walden Media President Micheal Flaherty.
“That’s always been one of my favorite lines all seven of the books,” Flaherty told Charisma while unveiling a clip of the film during the Biola Media Conference at CBS Studios in Studio City, Calif.
“It’s something I think that is really packed with emotion and I know for a lot of people whose testimonies I’ve heard, that line itself has played a real significant role in their faith walk.”
