   Narnia Invaded   
      
   How the New Films Subvert Lewis’s Hierarchical World   
      
   by Steven D. Boyer   
      
   As everyone knows, two Hollywood productions of recent years bear the   
   titles of two of C. S. Lewis’s famous stories from The Chronicles of   
   Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. The third   
   installment in the series, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, is scheduled   
   for release this December, with The Silver Chair slated for 2011.   
      
   Many Christians are very excited about these developments, believing   
   (quite rightly) that Lewis’s stories are shot through with deeply   
   Christian imaginative themes. What can be wrong with disseminating the   
   stories more widely in this way? The answer is: Absolutely nothing—so long   
   as it really is Lewis’s stories being disseminated. But there’s the rub. A   
   thoughtful investigation suggests that the Narnia films are very far from   
   being a faithful representation of Lewis’s own Christian vision of   
   reality.
