Oh. No doubt due to the success of the "Lord of the Rings" franchise, it was announced today that Disney will be lording over the film version of "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
I can't think of anyone I'd rather NOT be in charge of this. I hope I'm wrong, but man. This is like entrusting – I don't know. The story of the birth of Jesus with Pauly Shore. Directed by Carrot Top.
In two years there will be plush Aslans next to Mickey Mice on toy store shelves. And little girls will be able to get there very own Lucy Pevensie figurines in a McDonald's Happy Meal... for a limited time! The Happy Meal box will have perforated lines to punch out to turn it into... the Wardrobe! Open the doors and venture into Narnia!
Actually, this is genius on the part of Disney. Instead of investing money in creating new swag for the movie, they can just replace "Simba" with "Aslan" on the plastic Halloween costumes!
