‘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.
All I can say is…WOW! 😀 trembling with excitement!!!
Hurrah! The trailer is finally here. 🙂 I'm so excited!
YESS YESS!!! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOOOOVVVVE IT!!!!!! it looks very fantasy and i think thats what the book was supposed to be111
WAHHHH!!!! It's here!!!! As soon as I finished watching the trailer, I emailed my other Narnian friends (fans) that don't get updates from Narniaweb! And I just showed another friend the trailer!!!
well i like it but if you remember about the music of the first ones it was PERFCT because when youlisten the music you feel it you return to NARNIA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSH!!! It's actually, finally, really here!! It looks amazing! Oh, but now I just want to see the movie even more!!
I like the score. It sounds like the other two but different, and it adds to the effect of the scenes themselves, as all good movie scores should.
what are the 7 swords?? i don't remember that in the book
first thought: AHHHHHHHHh!!!! THE TRAILER IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!
2ND thought: Edmund better not be a brat like Peter in PC! that line "I'm not a squirt, I'm a king!" sounded WAAY to much like Peter in PC.
all other thoughts: Eustace looks great! just like I imagined! luv the dufflepuds! and Reep's voice wasn' as different then I thought it would be! very surprised in a good way! I thought Aslan looked funny. and why is Lilliandil glowing? and why is Edmund's sword glowing?? AND WHY ARE PETER AND SUSAN AT THE END OF THE TRAILER IN NARNIAN LOOKING CLOTHES?!?!?!
I feel very excited as well as nervous. 12/10/10 can't come soon enough!!!!!!!!!!
This movie looks SPECTACULAR! i can't wait until it comes out on DVD!
when i saw that the trailer was finally out, i screamed with happiness! 😀 😀 😀 and ohhhh my god i knew that Caspian was going to have a beard,thing 🙂
1:34
Brisingr!
Something for everyone to remember: trailers are to get the general public excited. You don't put big story points in the trailer, you use exciting, tantalizing shots. There is still probably a lot of post production going on (hence some animation being rough). Scenes used in the trailer won't necessarily end up in the final cut of the film. Dialogue has probably been dubbed over where it won't actually occur. The trailer music is not part of the score. A lot of the things most folks seem worried about are just standard trailer features that probably won't bother the actual movie.
It seems, though, that they've got the characterization of Edmund and Lucy spot on. With Peter off at university, Edmund is "man of the house", and I love love love the idea of him trying to enlist underage. So many young boys did that in the 40s, and so many got through. Great nod to the time period. He does sort of inherit Peter's issues with reconciling his former kingship with his position as a teenage boy, but that's a common theme that fits both of them. His worst nightmare being of the Witch(and her tempting him again) makes total sense with his character and with his story arc. I'm also glad to see Lucy coming into her own and really showing her strength. I would believe that the Lucy I saw in the trailer was Lucy the Valiant, unlike PC where they made her into a rather maxim-spouty Jiminey Crickett. They're clearly not afraid to let Georgie do some action anymore! The theme they're going for in this one is a testing of each characters'weaknesses and strengths. Aslan said so: "You're all about to be tested".
hahaha! good one!
I'm very interested to see what they do with that. Many people interpret that story as Lewis alluding to the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. Cup (last supper), Sword (Jesus is arrested), Tree (the cross), Hill (Calvary). Personally, I agree with that interpretation and I hope they don't rule it out in the movie.
Yeah, when I heard that he was "related" to Darwin, and proud of it I felt a little disappointed. Hopefully he will see the truth someday.
I too hope it's only something as subtle as that, but considering the way they "expanded" on the Prince Caspian movie, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the White Witch's evil spirit is controlling the 'Dark Island' and that she is responsible for the fates of the 7 lost lords in the movie. (not that I think it would be a necessarily bad change… it would bring more focus to the story which I found to be rather meandering in book form)
yeah, edmund's line "im a king" has bothered a lot of people. but this doesnt necessarily mean that he'll be just like peter was…obviously, no teenage boy likes to be called a squirt whether he is a king or not. Secondly, Edmund's character has seen how ego can lead to many mistakes and cost people their lives. i kind of liked edmund's line because it shows just how much the pevensies still think about narnia.
but one thing's for sure, too many people/things glow in this trailer.
the trailer is supposed to be attached to Toy Story 3. It's going to be like a double feature. 😀
3D trailer anyone?
I feel the exact same way! I've been waiting for this for 6 months and now i am rather disappointed, it looks like the movie is focused more on magic than the previous films and i personally don't like that very much. Yes i know that there is magic in the book but this trailer seem to more focused on it then Alsan and that saddens me. The CGI of Aslan seem to be getting worse in each movie!! I was expecting the trailer to be similar to the first two but i am not impressed hopefully a better one comes out soon. Sorry to be so negative!
totally agree with you…
when aslan says "your journey begins now." it dosent mean he was talking right there and then. it could have been somewhere else. they just put the dioluge in there dosent really mean aslan is saying it there.
peter and susan were maybe just there as a little flashback/vision?
prince caspian, i mean king caspian, was just probably rowing them back and just saying goodbye…
i wonder what edmund and lucys’ expressions will be when they’re told they cant come back to naria.
anyof you ladies cant really play jill pole in the silver chair…one of the problem is the british accent. and somewhat eustatce’s age.
there.feedback would be totally great…thnks!!

Haha I have watched the trailer at least 10 times today and screen caps were awesome
Something to point out to all of you who whine about "How it's not like the books."
C.S. Lewis puts a lot of description in his books. A lot. And that's fine. That's great. That's fantastic. But when you transfer it onto the big screen, you get problems. Why? Becaues all those pages of magnificent description that'll entertain us with the books gets lost in the split second we take in the scenary. To entertain an audience, you need more conflict, more action, more danger than just beautiful scenary. I agree with whoever said VDT's a great book, but without a little embellishment makes a pretty dull movie. There might be a very dramatic, epic storm scene. This by the book. Go ahead, make it more dramatic. I wouldn't mind them sailing with a little more purpose than they were in the book. Make more of Burnt Island…I've always felt a little cheated at that part. It's a movie, not a book. Get over it.
I'm a bit disappointed by this trailer. I don't think it advertises Narnia correctly… plus the overall structure is rather weak and cheesy; it wouldn't really excite me to want to watch the movie if I was unfamiliar with Narnia.
However, the majority of the footage looks great!
My thoughts so far…
Pros:
Eustace seems FANTASTIC! I can't wait to see more of him!
The Dawn Treader looks amazing!
The Magicians Book scene looks excellent so far, and it seems like they followed the book.
Reepicheep, Aslan, and Caspian all look spectacular.
Cons:
A minotaur on the ship. Really?
Caspian is with them at the end of the world, but I don't see Eustace…?
No mention of Eustace as a dragon either. That makes me kind of nervous.
The soundtrack feels cliche and lame to me. Hopefully it's not the official movie music.
And lastly, I'm annoyed that Edmund seems to have developed the same attitude Peter had in the last film. "I'm not a squirt, I'm a king!" and all that. Anyone else bothered by it?
(Georgie is so grown-up now!)
I am so excited!!!!! Hurry up December.
truly i no not why i scream exept 4 the excitement. i'm sure it wouldn't be something a centaur like me should do. in the future, i shall try to keep my voice 4 the battle.
for Narnia, and for Aslan!
totally agree with you…

BOTH!!!
Hahaha! Brisingr!!! Now all you have to do is add a little "fire"! 😉 I first thought Sting from LotR! 😉
Agreed Ari. But I can't agree with you when you say that Lewis described things in great detail, he didn't. The descriptions in the Narnia books are very sparse but they give the reader's imagination a lot of room to interpret things visually, as they see fit.
Yeah! My friend & I always pray that he will convert, someday.
*Shaking and crying with joy all at once*
Oh it looks brilliant!!! Better than Prince Caspian!!! Lucy looks much older! Was that the White Witch? What's she doing there?
ive been waiting for this!!!!
**screams**
i like the logo
Georgie's acting in 0:29-0:31 is terrible (no offence) but i think it would have been better if she acted a little scared
When do we usually have a second trailer?
It's weird that the four Pevensies are dressed in Narnian costumes but the setting of the scene doesn't look like the ending part. It seems to consist of some colourful pillars… Oh, curiosity kills the cat…
The only bad thing about the trailer is that there wasn´t enough Eustace and Caspian and no dragon or sea serpent… But that was expected. From a marketing sense it was very efficient though. This movie needs to gather as many of the viewers of the first movie as possible… I need to see The Silver Chair and The Last Battle!
It rocks! Can't wait for December! It comes out a week before my birthday, yay!!! **nearly falls off couch waiting….waiting….waiting………** Come on! I want it to come out before December! I can't wait that long!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is very neat! I never though of that.
That is definitally what I'll think of whenever I read about the story now.
does anyone know when the Super trailer is coming out?!?
But…funnily enough, Edmund loves Peter and hates the White Witch. And, usually, when he comes to Narnia, it's to help prevent the darkness and scary stuff if he can.
Not that you can have a story without the dark stuff, as Lewis himself points out in one of the CofN books ( I forget which at the moment).
Just curious…because I've never heard anyone say they don't like Peter; what is it that you dislike about him?
What makes you think this movie is all about magic and barely about aslan. if you read the book you would know aslan was only in one or two scenes. It's the Chronicles of Narnia, there should be magic in it.
What people are so excited about is this: Everything in the trailer was confirmation to us that they are following the book pretty close. Every clip was from an obvious scene in the book except for the one with the star girl talking to them which is unlike the prince caspian trailer when almost the entire trailer was of scenes that they added to the movie mainly because prince caspian was almost a completely different story.
Eustace turning into a Dragon will be in the movie because I saw a video of them filming a scene with eustace as a dragon.
and the seven lords will be in it because they are in the cast list. look for yourself.
Why is everyone assuming that is Lilliandil. Lilliandil was a star/human. that girl was like a complete star
OMG, people! people!! They are not going to show everything in the trailer. If you've seen it all in the trailer, what's the point of going to see the movie! They have to leave SOME surprises!
I noticed the same thing. I love the 2nd to the last shot of him. Reep seems a bit bigger but otherwise he's perfect. Sail on Narnia!!! Sail on!!!
No, I think it sounds to different from his earlier line to be Eustace. I also thought it was a duffelpud.
I think Aslan really isn't too bad except the first shot. His snout is too white thats my only complain, and the closeup of his eyes needs work, but he looks great in the rest of them. When I first saw it it seemed to magical for me too, I was hoping they wouldn't do that because Adamson tried to make the first two feel like a real place and I thought it was a nice touch, but when I looked at it again, the magic seems to be exactly where the book described it, especially in the magician's house. Realizing that made me feel a bit better about it. The other thing that bothered me was the delivery of some of the lines, but if you look at the LWW trailers the delivery changed drastically from trailer to film, and I expect (and hope) its the same way with VDT. Overall I like it.
It looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"the fate of narnia depends on you all"? don't like the sound of that, lilliandil.
With respect to Jadis, it looks like she is in the part of the story that shows the Dawn Treader at the island where dreams (nightmares) come true. She would certainly be part of Edmund's worst nightmare. Maybe Peter and Susan are part of someone else's dream?
I'm quite excited for the film, but to be honest, I didn't love the trailer. It does not show why they're on the voyage or why the fate of Narnia is in their hands. It was also a bit "perky" and Lucy seemed to be giggling the entire time. This is all fine with me, but I'm concerned that regular movie goers won't be impressed and won't have interest in seeing Voyage.
I love how they make the Narnia logo in the trailers look like stone and stuff. 😛
Wow! I was really excited! I am slightly disappointed in the CG though! It doesn't look as real as it did in the first movie!
really?? are you sure? i hope so. because, it's really stupid to make edmund's character annoying like peter in PC.! with ambition of power to command more than Caspian! edmund is not like that! why it would be a temptation to edmund "i can make you a king" when he is already a king!!!he never wanted power since his redemption and Aslan's sacrifice for him. they can't ruin edmund's character.!
*Tries not to laugh.*
Trailers aren't supposed to tell about the plot line really! You're /not/ serious, right? They're only to make people want to see the movie. Not tell the plot!
That's because it's not in the book. They added a plotline about finding seven swords.
I think Aslan looking weird in the mirror was because 'he was in the mirror' I was freaking out at first too because I thought: 'his body's gone!' then I looked at the screen cap and put 2 and 2 together: he's just showing up for Lucy's sake ; ) Or maybe I'm wrong 🙂 I was concerned at first as well 🙂 SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!
I mean no offence my friend.
I am quite content with loud noises from other folks. I am just prepaired for the eventuality.
