Forget the Witch, Fox Takes the Lion and Wardrobe
Escalating the battle for the family audience, Fox Filmed Entertainment has lured Walden Media, the production company responsible for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, away from the Walt Disney Co. "Disney needed us less than other companies that are striving to get into that area," David Weil, chief executive of Anschutz Film Group, Walden's parent company, told today's (Wednesday) Los Angeles Times. "Fox recognized that their needs and our interests overlapped." The newspaper said that Walden executives met with four studios before signing with Fox. Under the deal, Fox will release five or six Walden-produced movies annually, beginning with Mr. Magorium's Emporium, starring Dustin Hoffman, next year. Walden is owned by Phillip Anschutz, who also owns the Regal Theatres chain, the nation's largest, as well as Staples Center in Los Angeles and the L.A. Kings hockey team.

What about the Narnia rights though? It looks like this just refers to future non-narnia (try saying that 10 times fast) projects.

anyone?

So does that mean Walden won't be doing Narnia? I think Disney can still do it with out them. Just like Disney could have made Toy Story 3 without Disney.

What's that....call Peter Jackson....hehe.

Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe reminded me way too much of LOTR, minus the grand scale of everything...which for me, made it very....mediocre (which is the best word i can think of).

The strongest point of the movie for me were the beavers. Well done animation and they looked pretty good and very realistic...though, I know...beavers don't talk....at least not to you guys.....:lookaroun
