The Truth Is More Important Than The Facts

the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe comes out on friday and i'm quite excited to see it. i do however have great fears about there treatment of the book. while many would not hold the purist ideal i do, i found the changes/liberties taken in the Lord of the Rings to be most disappointing. in watching the Narnia trailer i can already see things they have changed. the children were not restricted in their use of the house, only told to stay out of the way of tourists. also, the children were never told to leave the professor alone and seem comfortable talking to him about the whole "lucy thinks she went into another country in the wardrobe" thing. this is out of a few minutes of trailer.... and so i'm a little anxious. (i realize someones shotty job of translating one of the greatest childrens books ever written to a movie isn't a huge life threatening cautastrophy.. but still.)
