The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

The film is still adapted from the novel, but there are seven islands in the original book, and five islands in the movie. For me, who hadn't read the original, the story was a bit ambiguous and choppy, and I wondered if it was something only mind-hopping, extremely imaginative kids could understand. The naive storytelling and play-like fight scenes are not what adults like. So while the novelty of "Narnia" wears off, I doubt how much of an adult audience's enthusiasm for its sequel will survive. Of course, the stunts of this film have improved a lot compared to the previous two, which is one of the highlights. The mice with added scenes in this film are very cute. After watching it, I have the urge to keep a mouse as a pet. Watching this movie with children is a good choice, but it requires a little patience.

[a bird lands beside Eustace and caws]
Eustace Clarence Scrubb: [about Reepicheep] In England, we have mouse traps for that sort of thing. Speaking of food, you don't know where I could get any, do you?
Tavros: Uh, why are you talking to that bird?
Eustace Clarence Scrubb: Uh, I just naturally assumed that you can...
Tavros: [busts out laughing] He's talking to birds!
Telmarine Sailor: He's mad as a loon, that one!
Tavros: Yeah!
