‘The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’ Trailer is Here!
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for since Prince Caspian came out — the unveiling of the first trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader! This film has had a tough journey from the book to the screen; for a while we didn’t even know if it would be made. The voyage isn’t over, but at long last the trailer has arrived in all its glory to tantalize Narnia fans around the world.

Opening shot in Cambridge with recruitment posters
Recruitment Officer: Are you sure you’re 18?
Edmund: Why, do I look older?
Lucy: Edmund, you’re supposed to be helping me with the groceries.
Other boys in line: [laughter] Good luck next time eh squirt?
Outside of the recruitment building Edmund and Lucy load up their groceries on a bicycle
Edmund: Squirt! I’m a king.
Lucy: Not in this world.

In the Scrubb household, Edmund and Lucy study a painting of an ocean with a tiny ship sailing on it
Edmund: Lucy, have you seen this ship before
A closeup of the painting and the waves are starting to roll and on one side a tiny trickle of water forms
Lucy: It’s very Narnian looking isn’t it?
In the same bedroom, all of a sudden the painting starts gushing water into the room and Edmund, Lucy and Eustace look dumbfounded
Eustace: What’s going on here?
Lucy: Edmund the painting!
Eustace yells and pulls it off the wall. Edmund and Lucy try to help, but water is rapidly filling the bedroom. Lucy screams and falls and suddenly the room is completely underwater with furniture floating around. They swim upwards towards the surface and just as they reach it and gasp for air Lucy turns and sees the Dawn Treader sailing towards them.
Lucy: Edmund!
Caspian and Lucy are hoisted out of the water onto the ship. Lucy, now in Narnian clothes looks into a mirror and sees her reflection and Aslan looking back at her.
Lucy: Aslan.
Aslan: Welcome. You have come far, but your journey lies beyond.
A shot of the Dawn Treader sailing away from an island at sunset. A shot of a minotaur on board as well as a couple crew members in the background. A shot of Lucy and Edmund standing on deck wrapped in blankets.
Lucy: Reepicheep!
Reepicheep bows.
Reepicheep: Your majesties!
A shot of a mermaid swimming in the water next to the ship. She waves and Lucy waves back.
Edmund: So if there are no wars to fight, then why are we here?
Caspian walks through a door followed by Edmund and someone else. Edmund looks through a spyglass. A shot of an island surrounded by fog. A shot of Coriakin magically throwing a map across the floor.
Coriakin: You are all about to be tested.
A shot of Eustace peeking through something. Smoking tendrils surround the ship and head towards the crew members. One in particular heads towards Edmund.
White Witch: Edmund, I can make you my king.
A vision of the White Witch
White Witch: And much more.
Lucy blows across the cover of the Magician’s Book and the letters on the front of it arrange into The Book of Incantations. She opens it. She sees a reflection of herself on one page and then begins to transform into Susan.
Lucy: I’m beautiful.
Lucy hears a lion roar and jumps away from the book as pages quickly turn away from the page. Next shot is Lucy standing in the Magician’s room as snow is falling all around her. She gazes up in wonder.
Coriakin: You have an extraordinary destiny.
Reepicheep quickly climbs up the mast of the Dawn Treader where he reaches the crow’s nest and looks out smiling.
Coriakin: Something greater than you could have imagined.
Narrator: From C. S. Lewis’ epic masterpiece…
Shot of the crew aboard the Dawn Treader with Drinian at the helm. Shot of what is likely Narrowhaven. Shot of Lilliandil glowing beautifully.
Lilliandil: The fate of Narnia depends on you.
Narrator: This Christmas…
Edmund holds Rhindon in his hand. It’s glowing blue. Lilliandil turns back into a star and shoots into the heavens while Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy look on.
Narrator: Return to Hope
Shot of a faun doing a flip in Narrowhaven and kicking someone. Shot of Lucy aboard the Dawn Treader about to fire an arrow.
Narrator: Return to Magic
In the magician’s study, suddenly where he was once invisible, Coriakin turns around with a book in his hand. Shot changes to the Dufflepuds bouncing around on one foot with Eustace standing in the middle of them looking dumbfounded.
Chief Dufflepud: This place just gets weirder and weirder.
Narrator: Return to Narnia
Shot of Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace, and Reepicheep paddling a rowboat through the sea of lilies. Shot of Aslan standing on dry ground next to Caspian, Edmund, Eustace, Lucy, and Reepicheep while holding back a wave.
Aslan: You have returned for a reason. Your adventure begins now.
Shot of Peter. Shot of Susan. Shot of Lucy. Shot of Edmund. Aslan standing on the shore roars.
End credits. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader form out of spiked rocks and then turn into the well known logo with the Dawn treader seen sailing in the background between snowy mountains. Christmas. 3D.
Narrator: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Directed by Michael Apted. This December in Digital 3D.
I love it too! Looks really good, although some of the effects seem to be of the work in progress variety, like the Dawn Treader in the painting and the smoke tendrils. Also; I hate to say it, but the White Witch does appear where you expect her to appear. 😉 (though it has never crossed my mind while reading the book) Btw, if that's Bill Nighy doing Reep, then he really managed to make it sound like Eddie Izzard's Reep. 😉
If we can sleep LOL!
i liked it and all but the LWW was the best trailer then PC had more drama…but this one is cool too…when thery were entering narnia in the VDT trailer…..it wasn't that impressiv as PC or LWW…still likedit! XD!!
I noticed they cut out his dialogue from the trailer. There's a part of the footage that looks like it was also shown at BIOLA, but Caspian's response to Edmund is missing in the trailer.
I imagined if the green one is involved she isn't the white witch but is taking the form of her specifically to mess with Edmund's head.
Watched it almost a hundred times now, 1080HD one included. Still love it.
Yeah, I desperately hope they change that in the upcoming trailers/spots, as for now Caspian is the most omitted of the main characters, while (at least to me) in the book he was definitely one of the most important. Ay, no good… I hope his part in the film is satisfying, I always saw VoDT as Caspian's story, while PC was still more Pevensies' story than anyone else's.
Can the scene of Lucy in the snowing room be the part where she's read one of the spells on the book of magic?
I've already got the 1080P HD file saved to my computer AND iPhone! Thanks KeepVid! HAHA!
This is going to be sooooooo great !! 😀 I just think that the kids are starting to look very old for kids, but I guess that's what happens when they take that much time to film :S
Anyway, I can't wait to hear about the next movie, hopefully it'll be The Silver Chair … I've been waiting for 2 years and a half to audition for Jill 🙁
Green? As in the green serpent that killed Rilian's mother in Silver Chair. Will they still make use of the White Witch as the "green serpent" that killed the prince's mother (as some kind of flash back). I mean they have already taken liberty of the movies at some extent this could be possible. Movie makers are also concerned for the continuity of movies using elements that are present in the previews movie.
GO VDT.
I love this trailer, though I am confused in some parts…The WW however, I think it might make more sense here than it may have even in Prince Caspian; I mean, it looks like they're at Dark Island and that island is supposed to send everyone into their darkest nightmares/dreams whatever, so if she only appears to Edmund while they're there, then it makes sense. Aslan roaring at the end, I don't know if it's just me, but he looks like something out of a computer game, I don't know why. Love the beginning especially, even if I can't recognise anyone!
I love this! I LOVE THIS!
Oh my goodness I love this!
For me, this is ho the trailer and marketing for Prince Caspian should have been. The focus on the Pevensies would have made PC do bigger business. So many non-fans had no idea PC was a sequel to LWW. But this trailer makes it look like more of a sequel to LWW than PC was.
I love the books, but these aren't books, they're movies. Don't watch a trailer expecting the book, or what's the point? Sure, the book should inspire the film, but there has to be some creative give to make the experience work on a theatrical level.
I loved how much screentime Edmund received. Will Poulter already looks like he'll be a great Eustace. He's such a great little actor. I think some of Lucy's lines sounded a bit too rehearsed or off.
The book scene was fantastic! And for me, the final shot of the Pevensies shows the producers are trying to bring this film 'home'. PC was an enjoyable film but far too much of a departure too soon from LWW. This film looks 'magic'. Though I do hope HHB is more mature. By then the audience should be older and up for it.
This trailer has brought me back to Narnia, and I can't wait for this adventure to hit the big screen.
For narnia!
Don't forget Edmund DID have some leadership issues in the book..
I think they'd expand his presence in the trailers more the closer we get to the release date. Like you I also feel this is his story too! Maybe they're saving Caspian and Eustace for the next trailers. Caspian is the first character on the character section for narnia.com so I think they have something planned.
I absolutely loved this fantastic trailer! Truly captures the magic! This Christmas is going to be amazing! 🙂
I´m sorry if someone asked this before, but where is the music from?
I only know the the beginning is from Stardust (where Ben Barnes is in too).
Does somebody has an idea?
Ha, I'm on my 6th time right now! This is SO awesome! I keep squealing and bouncing around! 😀
This trailer doesn't look as exciting as the P.C.one…..I hope I'm wrong though, cause I've waited and waited for this trailer!!!!!!!
I hope they don't make Edmund all puffed up and arrogant like they did with Peter in PC. Anyway…….looking forward to December!!!!!!
This is probably one of the greatest trailers I have EVER seen! I'm so glad to see that they're making Edmund a bigger character this time around 🙂 "Why, do I look older?" Hahaha can't wait for this movie!
Awesome!!!!! A few shots I can't figure out, but right now I'm just like exploding from excitement!!! WOOOHOOOO!
Is good, but the special effects are very poor =S
I wish that they improve they for the movie…
The second, sweeping, epic part of music is "Heart of courage" by Two Steps From Hell. Tracking trailer music is sort of my hobby, heh 😛 Anyway, this one is pretty old, and I was surprised they used it instead of looking for something new, but it was perfect!
Edmund had better not be ruined or I shall cry (and I mean it)! I think they left Eustace and Caspian out of this trailer because they are the main focus, therefore they don't want to spoil the film by showing us what Eustace is like, or Caspian's changed accent (or should I say British accent). I the characters of Lucy and Edmund are stuck up, arrogant, and/or anything like Peter was in PC, I will have problems with the whole thing! Can't wait for December:)!
Exactly, I agee. He and Caspian had a glitch on the island with golden lake, perhaps his attitude shown on the trailer is to make that argument less 'out of the blue' as it might seem on a film.
You can actually see gael, i fu look at the clip between 1:03 – 1:05… you can see lucy and Gael standing side by side on the left hand side of the ship… very quick, but lets hope that this just means her part in the film is also very, very small!
I very much hope you're right! Caspian (and also Eustace) were to me the main characters of the story, and I hope they will maintain so in the film. Ah, unless that list was alphabetical, it gives us some hope indeed 🙂
i love edmund's line
"If this is a water-fight, why are we here?"
xd
I must say I'm also happy to see Susan and Peter. Before anyone jumps on me and destroys me, I once again say what I believe in – film based on a book is a rendition, I go to see it because I want to see a new take on some things, some new ideas, some changes. When I want to watch the story faithfully and literally, I read a book and see how it all plays before my eyes. Back to Susan and Peter, I've always missed them in VoDT, Susan being one of my top three favourite characters (along with Caspian and Peter), so I'm curious what they're doing there, and happy to see them 🙂
Last night or this morning how ever u say i watched the trailer 30 times alone and one time with my sist and she love it. Then i started to promote the trailer to every person i know. IM REALLY EXITED FOR THIS MOVIE< IS GOING TO ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did anyone catch Gaels appearance?????? it was for two seconds between 1:03- 1:05… she is standing next to lucy on the left hand side of the ship, and she's wearing that gown thingy, so u can spot her pretty easliy! lets just hope that this only means that her part in the film is just as small, and unoticable!
Actually I think it's "If there are no wars to fight, then why are we here?" Sorry, I just didn't want you to misunderstand it.
I agree, the PC trailer stirred much more adrenaline and anticipation in me than this one did. The choice of music was better, you had the feeling of something fantastically amazing approaching step by step and my cuiosity was piqued. As per Ed, well, he and Caspian did have a spat on the island with golden lake, perhaps Ed's whiny attitude serves to prepare a reason for that altercation in the film? Time will tell. Meanwhile, I think I like what I see 🙂
Is it possible that some of the scenes of this trailer won't appear in the film? For example, the scenes of the four Pevensies…Because, you know, it did happen to PC…
Has anybody visited Narnia.com today? It's online and looks great.
I hope so! 🙂
i noticed it too!
Ugh. I have some major issues with this trailer. Not gonna lie :/
Ah you have a point re: the alphabetizing!
THIS LOOKS FANTASTIC! I can't say how good this looks!
You pretty much said it right there! OMGOSH!!! I'm SO EXCITED!!! I'm so relieved that the white witch was at the Dark Island and haunts Edmund. I mean, he probably didn't dream about her recently, but he probably did in the LWW; just never mentioned. I love the, "Why? Do I look older?" This is gonna be awesome!!! I watched it 100 times over and over again
I love the snow falling around Lucy beautiful shot there. I like the fight in that village like place I'm guessing it's the lone islands but what's up with the faun? Is he one of the crew? Poor Edmund constantly being targeted by the witch it seems, can he never escape her after all she's done? Can't wait. 🙂
That is really cool! Not sure what to think about it other than it was really cool looking.
Ditto I'm a little worried about that. At least he didn't sound too arrogant and cocky like Peter did.
I love Narnia, but I don't like the new music for the movie.
but now i'm more exited to wach Narnia
i have to admit i was scared at first because of the new director and i wasn't sure how the movie would turn out but i was absolutly amazed!! however ben as caspian didn't have many shots or any lines in the trailer 🙁
but other than that i can't wait for december! <3
omg this is so epic!!!!!!!¨I watched the trailer about 20 times!! Can't wait for the movie!
May I ask what are they?
I think I'm going to cry…….
Wow, finally the trailer!!!!!!!!
I can hardly wait for the movie
Looks amazing! Love that the put Peter and Susan into this movie! Watched the trailer 20 times and still can’t stop.
Only two minutes and it was the best two minutes of my day! I have a good feeling about this movie. It's the best book of the series and I think it's going to be the best movie of the series! I'll be texting my friends and calling family members to check out the trailer.
IT IS TOTALLY AMAZING!! I LOVE IT!! This movie is going to be the best yet!!!! 😀 *squeals and can hardly breathe* SAIL ON!! Go Votd!
The action during 1:37-1:40 looks pretty cool. the faun doing the flip kick thing looks amazing.
Okay… based on this trailer… there's isn't much of the feeling of that innocent, wonderful adventure here. This looks too serious. "The faith of the Narnia depends on you"… I'm not sure about the "You're all about to be tested" either. It could be good.
What ever. It doesn't change the book, so if it's a good movie on it's own I'll like it anyway.
*watches it again*
It IS very pretty. And oh thank Aslan the White Witch is on the Dark Island. 🙂 Lucy is pretty, Edmund is handsome (but suddenly HE is having these king issues aswell…), not much of Eustace yet, but his paniced voice is good. And the part of the extraordinary destiny is very good. That's what Narnia is about, right? Learn that there is more than just the ordinary reality: the reality of God and spirituality.
Susan and Peter being there looks rather fitting somehowe. After all, Aslan is refering to them all when he says there was a reason they were brought to Narnia, so it could work in the context.
In the end, my only complaint it that it looks too serious and not adventurous and magical enough, but "the trailer always lies", so… 🙂
This will be one of my favorite movies ever, I can tell already! It's not only my favorite book in the Chronicles, but it's my favorite book ever. I have a picture in my mind of what everyone and everything look like, and I was sure that the movie will crush all that I have imagined. But Oh no no no, it looks amazing. Absulutely amazing. You have no idea how excited I am! 😀
Love it! Love it! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a little worried by the distinct lack of Caspian in the trailer. When it comes down to it, he is a pretty important part, but they focused in on Lucy A LOT. Still, it looks awesome and I can't wait to see it!
Looks amazing! Can't wait for the Dufflepuds!
