One of the things our family loves to do the most is watch movies.
Over break, I caught the first of the Narnia movies, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; thinking the girls might be old enough for it now, and recorded it. There were a few times that I worried it might be a bit much for the girls, but they ended up loving it. (but take this as a word of warning if you have sensitive kids) Plus the religious undertones are quite wonderful, and they were able to understand them with some prompting.
So, since they loved it so much, we found the second movie, Prince Caspian, on iTunes and watched it this week (with my cool new present Apple TV). The girls got so into the battle scenes (above), that at one point Lily actually yelled, "Finish him!" It was pretty funny.
Tonight we will be watching the third installment, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. They can't wait.
I read online that there is a fourth movie in the works: The Silver Chair.
I will say that this is one time we didn't read the books first, but eventually they can, and maybe we will read the Magician's Nephew, which is in the series and is about how Narnia came to be. I loved that book. It's actually the only one I've read in the series.
Have you seen the movies? Have your kids? Do you have to always read the book first? Have you read this series?
