‘Narnia Trilogy’ Box Set Coming April 27
Since Disney still owns the first two Narnia films, fans have been wondering if a 3-movie box set would be possible. It appears the legal issues have been sorted out. The ‘Narnia Trilogy’ box set will be available in France on DVD and Blu-ray on April 27.
The word “trilogy” might spook fans who are hoping The Voyage of the Dawn Treader will not be the last Narnia film. It has been in theaters for two months now, and still no word from Fox or Walden about the future of the series. Keep checking back…
Thanks to Narnia France for the alert.
For all you down fans, here may be a sliver of hope. Sounds like Silver Chair is next(which makes most sense)

Sorry this posted twice.
It's great that all three films will be in the same box
I expect it took some very fancy legal negotiations to do that, for both Disney and Fox, as well as Walden. It shows that should there be more movies, that further combinations will be possible as well.
Puddleglum is one of my favorite characters even though the SC is not my favorite book. I've never really enjoyed being underground so I probably couldn't quite enjoy it as much as other people. I share that with Jill Pole. I really enjoy the part with the giants though. It cracks me up everytime I read it. Especially when puddleglum reads that Marshwiggles are generally stringy and tasteless. Hehe. That's just great.
I don't get how that's misleading or 'spooky' for wanting another movie. I thought it just means they're selling the first three together as a market strategy… maybe I'm just super stupid. I don't get how that's misleading… :/ Sorry guys…
at first i was like "OMG, that will be soooooooooo COOL", and then i thought "WAIT a minute……this isn't a triology!"
well, sorry guys, but I know I'M spooked.
I ment if they were trying to send the message the serise was over, I think they (Dougles Greshem or Mark Johnson or somebody who can make an official statement) would have said it.
The actors and actresses will need more time to grow up. Although I'm looking forward to this one the most, I think the will have to make this # 6.
I agree. I don't think it's some sort of statement. Part of makeing movies is tryng to make monbey. In the end, this relese might help us.
………Sigh……….I guess your right. But as soon as possible I would like to see Horse and His boy. I think that would be so cool to see th horses, the actors, the Pevensies, Shasta's twin, Even the end part where the evil king turns into a donkey by Aslan would be cool !
i hope ur right. 🙁
I know they packaged the first three Shrek movies as "The Shrek Trilogy" and, lo!, they still made afourth one so…
The use of the word "trilogy" means only one thing: Fox and Disney know that people love trilogies. It sounds epic, dontchaknow. But it means nothing beyonf that. NOTHING. I'd be surprised if they DIDN'T put the word "trilogy" on this. By the way, several movie franchises have been released as "trilogy" sets and yet spawned sequels later (Alien, Indy Star Wars… ).
Except that all those movies were successful at the box office…
Well said. Trilogies are common today. Sadly now they're becoming cliche. Almost every movie franchise does this, even when there's promise for more potential sequels. It's just Fox's chance to make more money by selling all three together. So yeah, I agree, this isn't really a sign that the franchise ends here. Whether it continues, and, if it does, whether that's a good thing or not, we'll just have to wait and see.
Hm…sounds interesting. I wonder, will it be released just in France, or in other countries and regions as well?
Now which am I going to buy? DVD, Blu-ray, or box set?
Yippee!!!
Meh, it doesn't spook me. Franchises do this all the time. The group a few of the films/books together in a set to sell so they can get some extra money out of the whole thing. My guess is they're just waiting until VDT has had its run in theaters (worldwide) to do/say anything regarding SC. For a Fox film, it's actually been pretty successful. As far as I know, each Alvin & the Chipmunks movie made less domestically than VDT did and yet I think they're still planning a 3rd movie for that franchise.
-sighs- They're making a sequel to that? Noooo… the movie was the worst adaptation I have ever seen. *headdeskheaddeskheaddesk*
Must rant… somewhere… someplace…
I am not ready to compare Narnia movies to the PJO ones, because while the first PJO movie is rather weak as the beginning to a possible series, LWW was great. We may be able to go back to the awesome epic-ness of LWW. So this does give me hope. Still- barely scraping by with a big enough box office for SC to be made does not bode well. Especially since the box office numbers seem to be going down with each movie.
It's not really related to this, but Aslan's Country reports that Georgie Henley and Ben Barnes will be attending a Dawn Treader special premiere in Japan on February 13th.

Finally they're using the stars of the movie for some promotion.
noooooo they each made more then twice what VDT earned domestically. which is why there's going to be a third one
Will VDT really make u cry?
Elizabeth, I do read your blog every morning, but for some reason, When I try to comment, I CAN' T !! I have asked you about this a few times already, but no response. Do you know why it is doing this ?
I thinnk that is based on your emotions. I know that I can't help but cry EVERY time I see the end of Prince Caspian. Lion, With, and the Wardrobe I have never cried to, and as for the Dawn Treader. I did tear up at the end. Not like Prince Caspian, but I did. I miss Reepicheep so much, and wish he was with me here in my world. I usually try to act like him and every time we play Narnia, I play as Reepicheep, or one of his buddies. Sorry, I know I talk alot. =}
I am most excited to see though, ( If they stick to the book. They don't it seems like.) is when they first see Aslan. The owls will be cool to see too. I do think though, that I may stop seeing the movies, just because that I think that the way I pictured the Dawn Treader and all were much better. Believe me, I love the movies too. But When I gallop on my imaginary talking steed and am headed for Cair Parravael, I can picture it so much better. I really hope they DON'T do Last battle, or Magicians Nephew. I think that would be so wrong. I wouldn't feel bad seeing Silver Chair, I guess, or Horse and His Boy. I just think that they are throughing away the hopes, dreams, and imagination of the kids and adults who read the books. I think they should stop near here. = [
Oh I know! The only reason I'm hoping for SC next is because I don't want to lose Will Poulter as Eustace, but they'd better make HHB right after SC, that book is my abesolute favorite of the seven.
yay! that's my birthday!
I realize that. I'm not talking about the general chances of further Narnia movies here, only specifically the use of the word "trilogy". Which, again; is not significant one way or the other. There may or there may not be more movies, but this should not be seen as an indication in any case.
I know it made ME cry, at least. My mum had to hold my hand in the theater.
The movie cost 140 and it made over 375 million. I'd say a sequel will definitely happen. I think they might still be talking over "The Silver Chair" or "The Magicans Nephew," though I personally think it is ridicoulous not to do "The Silver Chair" next. The 5th one should be "The Magicans Nephew."
I think saying that is laying it on rather thick, Praying Pevensie. Making the books into movies doesn't destory anyone's oringal view of it. The books are the books, and the movies are the movies, even if they are BASED on the books. That's just how it is. If you can't imagine a book the way you once did because of a movie, maybe it's your imagination itself that has the problem, and even if it isn't, maybe other people still want to see movies of all seven regardless; no one's making YOU see them if they get made. I personally would love to see a MN or a LB movie, as well as SC and HHB.
No, if they stop anywhere it should be after SC, not now after VDT. My reasons: One) Eustace went through a big change, it would be nice of them to let us SEE, on screen, a little more of that change in another movie. two) um, hello, they MENTIONED JILL at the end of voyage of the dawn treader! they have to show her to us, it's mean of them if they don't, that's like waving candy under a little kid's face and saying, "none for you, hah-hah, it's just a CALLBACK to candy! Ha!". Three) BBC did up to SC, so Walden should show that they are willing to do the same, at least.
I just hope whole movies of Narnia will be made!
Ah…I wish I was born as a Narnian & I could get into the adventures…!
Well,I know,it's an impposible dream.
Wooow!
They will come to my country!!
…but 13th is Sunday.I will go to church and pray*
I just know that When we read LWW and we had already seen the movie, it was our least favorite because we just remembered the movie. But when scenes in the book came that was NOT in the movie. We all smiled and had WAY much more fun. I just think it would be a disappointment to make the others.
In my opinion it makes a great trilogy since none of the other stories are any good anyway, compared to these three. These are the best, and most interesting, and follow my favourite characters in the book. Though for those people who do enjoy those other four stories, I hope their movies get made. I feel fortunate these three were, and this trilogy probably ends my time in Narnia as a movie fan anyway.
But The Silver Chair is so vastly different from the previous films, and is almost entirely disconnected.
1) I think they demonstrated Eustace's change quite well and I'd actually rather stop there than have to see him be rude to Jill in SC (if they stop at all, of course). The change makes him so likeable that we love him by the end of VDT, but when reading The Silver Chair, I don't really have any extremely pleasant feelings toward him.
2) Having Jill Pole mentioned at the end of VDT was more of a nod to fans than anything else, and actually means they'll have to change the beginning of SC.
3) They did stop there, and it feels very unfinshed. There's no, "ahh, that was a good series". The two books that actually feel like a good ending point are VDT and The Last Battle. Personally, I hope they finish the series. I don't want them to stop at all, but I just think if they ever stop I'd rather it be here than after number 5 or something.
Wow, I didn't realize… I thought you really loved the movies and didn't care about the changes! I think if done right they could do MN and maybe even LB, but you just went up ten points on my record. On Narniafans.com if you say anything bad about the movies you're attacked for "not supporting the series"!
Narnia is a very magnificent film. Hoping that Silver Chair and other remaining movies will be in cinemas soon. And just found out that Dawn Treader Named “People’s Choice” for 3D Live Action Film!" And it was named the top of best pg movies of 2010. So still hoping that all Narnia books will be released in cinemas. For Aslan! 🙂
Really? That's Awesome!
@Aiglos: not usually, but disney did, of course that was because dawn treader was already in production
Does anyone know where I can find the dancing scene at the end of LLW? We were watching the bloopers last night and there was a part with Peter dancing with narnians. I can't find it 🙁
yeah exactly. check this website for assurance http://www.aslanscountry.com/ hope Narnia VDT will have more awards soon.
try this in youtube not exactly sure but just wanted to help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrikoURNbkY hope you find it. 🙂
It didn't have it, but thank you anyway!
Yeah, I hope they win more too.
Are there any Vennesuala (Probobly just totally spelled that wrong) VDT numbers yet?
Meh, I already own all of the movies (except VDT, but I'm planning on getting that one), so I'll pass. Had I known there would be a cool box set I might have waited… ha, no I wouldn't.
So it's like the communists in Asia. Don't say what you feel or you are marked that you don't care about Narnia ? I didn't mean it like that. I was just boldy saying how I really think it is better in the books, than the movies.
that's the whole point !! It is different then what we've seen. A whole new fresh start !! I can't see why ANYONE would want to miss out on such a good movie !!
Sorry that I have not responded sooner 🙁 You may have to become a 'follower' first before you can comment. (the follw button should be on the right side of the blog screen) if that doesn't work I'm really sorry I don't know how else to do it.
I'll try. Thanks for your help. I just wanted to let you know that even though I don't comment, I do read it this morning. I hope we get to talk again soon. Wether it is on your blog, or on here.
The trilogy set will NOT be in America 🙁
= { It didn't work. Sorry.= {
: O
the first 3 books have been known as the Pevensie trllogy previously….
i really hope narnia isn't going to be a trilogy! i love the other books and really want to see them get made!!!!!!
(ps_ i love how the box set is coming out william moseley's birthday <3 )
Ooo, I wanna get this set! I'm not worried about the phrasing, makes sense to market it as a trilogy, it just sounds better than "3-pack" or something 😉 LOL I love the new poll! I think I would scream "NOOOOO" AND throw my computer out the window. I don't have a Reepicheep plush toy, but I wish I did 😉
I would be surprised if they didn't green light SC because VDT was Fox's for $100 movie in over a year! But then again… it is much lower than the first two :/ I am not spooked by the trilogy set. It makes sense because VDT ends the Pevensie storyline and the other four films are Eustace and prequels.
