Three Brand New Video Clips From The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Aslan’s Country has posted the three clips from the Fun-for-the-Whole-Family Hour package. The first clip shows Eustace being very obnoxious with the Pevensies in Lucy’s bedroom. The second clip shows Eustace discovering the dragon cave and gives some hints about story change. The third clip shows Edmund, Lucy, Caspian, Eustace, and Reepicheep rowing across the Sea of Lillies. Eustace is talking about his undragonning.
There’s a lot of dialogue with Eustace in all three clips. This is by far the best footage we’ve seen from the film.

UPDATE: Fox has removed these videos from YouTube and Vimeo. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
What do you think of the new videos?
I figured that would happen. 🙁
I LOVED all three clips. We finally get to see more of Caspian and Eustace. I don't think anyone should be worrying about the whole "orphans" thing. Eustace is a bully so why shouldn't he call them that to annoy them? After all, they have to spend the summer with him while Susan and their parents get to go to America! 🙂 Also, I think that changing Caspian's accent isn't that bad. I thought in the beginning of clip three when he said "Aslan's country…" that he sounded almost Spanish again. And also, I am NOT a book stickler at ALL, but I LOVE Narnia to death, so really any story changes that they have ever done to any of the movies was fine with me. So I know that this movie will be amazing as well. 😀
I actually think Ben looks better as Caspian here than in PC. (And there's no call to be rude about his looks anyway. How would you feel if someone said that about you? Besides, he's not the one who does his hair and make-up in the movie, so he really can't help how he looks. 😉 )
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. If you love fiction, that's fine, but you don't have to hate people who don't like the same things you do. I personally really like information books. (Although I'm not keen on children doing exercises in model schools, or dead beetles pinned on cards, like Eustace was. 😉 )
I know what you mean, but I don't think you should be TOO sure until you see the full scene. It could be just steam from the ground. But I hope you're right. 😀
I love the three videos. Will it show in the movie when Eustace becomes a dragon? And will they show the sea monster?
Noooooooo! Fox should have more sense than that! Don't they realize the great adverising they're giving up by having those taken down? Come awn, fox, I thought you were smarter than that, after all you picked up Narnia when Disney was dumb enough to drop it like a hot potato! Come on!
I don't know if it will show him transforming into a dragon (that would be pretty strange, don't you agree?) but it will definately show him in his dragon form. And the sea serpent will be there as well. I remember reading something while they were filming about Skandar rolling around the deck of the ship trying to get away from a sea serpent. It is going to be an amazing movie! 😉
Ohhhhhh!!! Love the new clips!!! I can't wait til the movie comes out! It's gonna be totally awesome!!!
Well this is sort of sad for me cause that last one there can only be seen on a mobile device if your a Vimeo plus member, so I'll just have to wait the first two are great though.
Yeah, the costume looks great with his coloring.
Me too. 🙂
It would be sad If Ed and Lu's parents died, but, (I hope i don't get a thumbs down for this!) I think it would make a very interesting storyline. I agree with Manticor about Ed's inlistment deal. I also think it is very brave of him to do so.
I love all of the clips, especially the second.
Does anyone know when the results will come out for the Dawn Treader in the UK competition? I'm dying to see if I've won.
good stuff!
These clips are freaking awesome!!!:D Eustace needs a good actor and so far I'm convinced with Will Poulter's acting. I imagined the place where Eustace found the jewels was more of a cave than a desert.
Who made their first post on this website? Coz I have a feeling you stole my name.
It is possible a part of LB was brought here by making the Pevensies' parents dead earlier… is it then possible Peter and Susan died along with them and thus appear in Aslan's Countruy – hence the mysterious footage? Whatever it is, by the way, I'm sure Peter and Susan's appearance will be great. I always missed them terribly while reading VoDT as a kid! 🙂
Or, it's simply possible he's mocking them. Using the term 'orphan' as an insult, as vicious kids sometimes do, I remember some incidents like this from my elementary school.
Eustace seems a perfect little brat… ! Can't wait to see the movie!
Interesting thought, allalea…also a possibility. Ariel, lol. 🙂
I suppose we shall see soon enough.
Drinian's acent is so cool!
Where is Reepicheep?
i liked it that he changed. it said in the book that it was 3yrs from PC-VODT. Maybe they did it to show that he's growing up. still like it & the accent.
WILL. POULTER. IS. AMAZING. O.M.G. =O
And I noticed how the clips seem oddly edited–it's probably because they cut out some stuff that will be in the film so as not to give everything away. They do that a lot for trailers/early-released clips.
Anyway, I'm SOOOO excited!!! I'm glad they kept in the Eustace-Edmund talk about him becoming human again–it was in a different place and not as deep as the book (where Ed says "you were only an [blank]; I was a traitor"), but it was still in there 🙂 I just hope there isn't TOO much change w/ Gael and all. And I want that Reepicheep-talking-with-Eustace-the-dragon scene to still be in it.
But overall, I am really psyched now. 109 DAYS!!!
I agree with that too. All I got from it was him just making up a stupid rhyme to tease them.
Yeah, but isn't he standing there on land when Aslan comes in the trailer? O_o
My guess is that it is the lifeboat thing, but they just combined the end part with the earlier part about Caspian wanting to stay and then him seeing Aslan on the ship telling him that he has to go back. Maybe Aslan just tells him that on land instead? Or something? I dunno
I think Eustace was just poking fun at them, since their parents are away for the holidays. It seemed to be just a stupid rhyme he made up for the heck of it.
Yeah, it's going to show it. I think Fox & Walden are just keeping those parts under wraps because they want everyone to pay to see the movie in order to see those parts 😀 Which I think is a very smart idea. Plus, everyone will be dazzled/shocked/wowed/etc. if the first time they see the dragon and the sea serpent are in the theater. And possibly in 3D. 😀
Yes, I believe it is.
Is it me or does Drinian have a Telmarine accent? That would be cool!
I cant wat untill the movie comes out I would love to see it with my freinds or my familly I am so exided for it to come out know I just hve to read the book over a gan.
Thay are bothe the same I like them bothe thay are rally good they did a good job with them all.
i agree, i noticed the same thing, but i remember in the books it says they become stronger after taking in the narnian air. perhaps they are supposed to be blah, bored, more weak in our world then grow in power and regal-ness (if that's a word)
cool, love rhrindon!
lucy seems so toned down , almost colorless actingwise-
I wouldn't be too surprised if they reordered the events, the are a lot of stuff in the book that won't even make it into the movie, just because of time, and Dragon Island is a big important part… The stuff I'm more worried about is eustace and edmund almost fighting, In the book edmund is the one just trying to ignore, and eustace enjoyed being annoying and never really got angry… maybe I'm reading too much into that clip
Yes, Ariel of Narnia, the pretty high possibility of Eustace's 'un-dragoning' coming later in the story is the reconstruction of the story I'm referring to. 🙂 For one, it could mean the islands are rearranged in a way that affects the story. For another, it could mess up Eustace's character development by taking place later in the movie. I consider both of those things to worry about. :S
That would be weird, though plausible, if this explanation is the case it could mean that they are trying to connect all seven stories more closely together, which actually could be a good thing seeing as how changes from the books into individual movies would be less likely to produce continuity errors, but it ruins some of the best scenes from LB
Cool! I am a bigger Tolkien nut than Narnia also. I'm starting to read the Silmarillion.
No the clips have been removed!!!
Okay officially i thought this movie was going to be slightly abd when i first watched the trailer but seeing these makes it look better then the first too! I can't wait for this to come out! Lol and I love Eustace Hes so greedy but theres something about him that makes me laugh. His attitude. I just love it when he goes ''I must be dreaming'' the he starts nicking all the gold as soon as he sees it. But he should watch him self. Aslan is watching 0.0
Omg! They're gone! Stupid copyright! I'm seriously freaking out! Does anyone know where else to watch them now that Youtube has taken these down?
It wouldn’t be that big of change for Peter. He would just be dying sooner. But it would be a HUGE change for Susan. She is the only Pevensie who doesn’t die in the books. Also assuming she’s in Aslan’s Country that means she hasn’t fallen away yet and never will since she died first. Both of these are a major change for the character.
Agreed. I’ll try not to worry unless I see other information that gives me a reason to. Remember these clips are taken out of context. For all we know they might have already said earlier in the movie that the parents are in America.
Can any sum up the first two clips for me? Fox took them off the website before I had a chance to watch them :(.
He does have some kind of accent. Don't know exactly what it is. Maybe Gary Sweet will tell us when VDT is released. 🙂
Oh, I loved them! But I HATED the stupid, cheezy music they added in to it. . .That just sucked.
But at least the clips were good.
Edmund. . .WOW. He looks so grown up and he is CUTE when he is angry. . .
And for the Lord Drinian, I really like his voice.
sure! I can give you a basic overview if you like, I watched them enough! XD
first clip: Starts out with Eustace writing in his diary, Lucy calls 'we're home!' and he quickly stuffs his diary in his sock. Then we get the scene from the trailer, describing the painting. Then Eustace comes in and says, "There once were two orphans who wasted their time, believing in Narnian Nursury rhymes." Edmund replies with "There once was a boy named Eustace, who read books full of facts that were useless." (Go Ed!)
Anyways, Lucy ignored Eustace and continues to look at the painting. Eustace goes on this little rant saying how useless Lucy and Edmund are, and how they'll end up being a hideous burden to people who read books filled with real information, etc. etc…. just being a prat, basically.
Edmund gets really upset with that and turns around and says, "Hideous Burden??? I haven't seen you lift a finger since we've been here!" And then the painting starts to dump out water and the clip ends.
Second clip is shorter. Eustace tumbles down a cliff and ends up in this huge pile of gold. he says something like "I must be dead," And starts nicking everything in sight. There's a skeleton with an armband on it – he knocks over the skeleton and takes its band. (So that's presumably the lord… Octesian, or something like that. *shrugs*)
Then it cuts to Edmund and Caspian, shouting for Eustace. They find the plain full of gold, and a shoe. (Eustace's shoe, maybe? Dunno.) Then Edmund says, "What could have happened to him?" Caspian says he's sorry, and Edmund says, "I never should have left him…" <– Seriously good bit of acting from Skandar there, btw.
Then it cuts to the ship, with Lucy, Gael, and Drinian. We see a flash of fire, Lucy asks what it is. Gael asks if it's the volcano, and Drinian replies in a really cool accent, "No, that's no volcano," and it ends.
(I already had a summary written for these two…. I hope this gives you an idea about what it was like! The clips srsly rock.)
I know that. Yet, I must say I'd be glad to see this change for Susan, because I always, ever since I was a kid, wanted her to join her family in Narnia 🙂 After all, Lewis himself said she'd find her way and that her story was unfinished yet, but he died before he managed to tell us the end. I know that her denial of Narnia is important, but if she and Peter indeed die in this film, maybe it will be somehow worked out. I personally have an idea how it all could be combined.
They're GONE? :O
That's weird… well, at least the third one's still there – my favourite. 🙂
Never mind.. they're still on vimeo. 🙂
Edmund really looks soooo cute!!!!!!!!!!
Lol, Narnian Geek, that's how I felt the first time I got responded to! I was so thrilled!! 😛
Wowww, how exciting! These are great! Georgie's (or should I say Lucy's) hair is lush, especially in the lilies. And the lighting in that clip is amazing. Edmund/Skandar is so grown up now…and hot! The only bit I thought was odd was how Georgie mentioned Aslan's Country…she didn't…sound right. Ah well, my opinion doesn't mean anything. I'm just so excited! 😀
Why can't you see the Narnia Clips? I've read Fox has requeasted that they took down the videos. Since when? Can you still see them anywhere? I want to them. I havn't.
Can you write what happend in the clips?
I'm sorry. The name is Gael. But he's not in the book. And I can't speak english very well.
