the guys from narnia

yesterday i got to chat with the creators of the chronicles of narnia. they were christian guys who were working for disney. i got to hear the stories of how they made the movie from start to finish. one guy had an idea and began to talk about it around the office at disney but it was never accepted. after a while, he met another guy who knew a guy and then talked to another guy and, you get the idea. these guys were able to make a movie that has powerful symbolism. now this movie is going worldwide. God totally made this thing happen.
as they ready the world for the movie, they realized most places had never heard of c.s. lewis. so in places like china and other athiest countries the government is introducing the books into the schools for required reading before the movie is released. how cool is that? atheist countries reading c.s. lewis. thanks to disney doing this movie, look what God has done. look at the power in the arts.
we got to see the "chronicles of narnia" dvd. it will be released in april. they showed us some behind the scenes stuff and it was very interesting. the movie had to be translated into many other languages. they explained to us how it was done. we listened to the voices in about 20 different languages and it all sounded like the same person's voice. how can they all sound like the original? they casted people from around the world until they got an almost exact match in every language. it was amazing.
i encourage you to get the dvd on april 4th. if you liked the movie you will be interested in the dvd. oh yeah, quick note . this film is put out by disney. (guess that boycott is over?)
