I came up with a Narnia sequel of my own

[@mattthesilent777RED]

When the war ended in 1945, Susan Pevensie married a man she had met while on her trip to America with her parents. His name was Ben Harber and while courting him, Susan chose to express her time in Narnia as stories that she and her siblings came up with to while away the war. In 1947, they moved back to London and had a son named Malcolm, who’s handsome face resembled that of his mother’s. Two years later, Susan received a gift from someone associated with an old friend of hers who had recently died; the gift was a wardrobe, one that Susan had recognised despite not seeing it for more than 5 years. Knowing all too well what it did, she kept it hidden away in one room of their house. The next year in late 1950, their daughter Isabel, or “Izzy”, was born, with a mind like her mother and a face like her father. Then in 1952, their last child, James, or “Jim”, was born, being the spitting image of his father. Susan lightly entertained her children with tales of Narnia, choosing to be careful, since Narnia despite being a temporary alternative from the War, it had also almost killed her and her siblings in many ways. Little did Susan know that her siblings really had died after going to Narnia one last time; not knowing this gave her nightmares at times and she also suffered bouts of being overprotective. Ben was able to relax her despite his lack of knowledge about Narnia and the family always remained happy. Malcolm, now nearly 15, grew to be a handsome, confident, mature, friendly boy. Izzy had now become a smart, quirky, yet slightly volatile and reckless 12-year-old. Jim was now 10 and was a kind, compassionate, brave and inquisitive boy. While Malcolm sees the parents off when they go out for the day, Izzy and Jim sneak into the wardrobe, with Malcolm following them when he realises what they're doing. Susan and Ben return to find the children missing and go into Narnia themselves. (I know how time is supposed to progress with Narnia, but the White Witch's return has disrupted the magic, which is why time in both Earth and Narnia runs at the same speed during the story).

Fun Fact: J.R.R Tolkein The Author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and C.S. Lewis The Author of Narnia were close friends.

[@carlosrodriguezb]

And one was Catholic while the other Protestant.

Also Professor Diggory was based on JRR Tolkien, and Treebeard in Lord of the Rings was based on CS Lewis

[@Csylve]

Tolkien hated the fact that C. S. Lewis put Santa in his book so much that he nearly ended their friendship over it. Also, the Professor in Narnia is based on Tolkien, whilst Treebeard in LOTR is based on Lewis.

[@KERRYPIKE]

Aslan and Lucy's friendship is the most cutest thing in this movie.

A rare movie that showed actual friendship. Movies these days romanticised everything.

[@jasoncross5831]

Fun fact and spoiler for the books I guess for anyone who hasn't gotten around to them in the last 70 years: The Professor was the first one to witness the creation of Narnia when he was a boy. He brought home a seed with him and planted it which grew into a giant tree. When a wind from Narnia blew the tree down, he used the lumber to build the wardrobe. That's why the wardrobe is a portal to Narnia and it's why he's so invested when they tell mention a magical land inside the wardrobe. He's also the reason the white witch is in Narnia in the first place.

[@callie5968]

12:37 So that’s why there’s a tree on the wardrobe’s door.

[@karenhall4645]

The White Witch is responsible for the lamppost. She came through to our world, broke a lamppost, and during the creation of Narnia she dropped it on the ground and a lamppost grew there. Read The Magician's Nephew.

[@benjaminmayer6152]

Criminally underrated series. The music and battles are amazing. The costumes, the acting, everything is great. The third was weak in comparison, but the first two are straight fire

[@TimotheeReacts]

The action in the 2nd movie was insane

[@benjaminmayer6152]

@@TimotheeReacts yeah, the night attack on the castle was an amazing battle. In this one's final battle, Peter used his real world knowledge of modern warfare by having the gryphons act as bombers using rocks. I think that was such a cool detail. Edmund is my favorite character. His character development in the first one was so good, and then in the second he is the GOAT! Based off what we see in the second one, it could be argued that he might even be a better fighter than Peter. Or at the very least a more versatile one. Also I love how seriously these movies take war without being depressing. The villains are actually allowed to be villains and kill people, and there are actually consequences to the choices the characters make. If they mess up, people actually die. It's something you don't see a lot of in family movies nowadays.

[@abc.animal5143]

The third was good too

_"FOR NARNIAAAAAAA!!!"_ is a quote that sticks with you forever after watching.

[@videohistory722]

In the book series, there's a story that comes before this one, called the Magician's Nephew. It explains everything, from how the White Witch came to rule, the lamppost, even where the wardrobe comes from. Also the man they're staying with is responsible for all of it.

[@nobleconsejera5278]

So is he the magician's nephew?

[@videohistory722]

@@nobleconsejera5278 yes

[@PriyanshuSingh25302]

Can you tell me a summary of the story?

[@videohistory722]

@@PriyanshuSingh25302 The professors first name is Diggory, and his uncle made rings from the dust of the realm Narnia is in. One of the other worlds is Charn, where the White Witch is from, and upon going there, they find a bunch of statues of kings and queens sitting on their thrones, a tiny bell and a riddle that tells them they can either ring the bell and bide the danger, or drive themselves mad wondering what would've happened if they did. Diggory rings the bell, this makes the WW wake up, find out she's the one that killed everything in Charn, and try to ditch her in the pond realm, upon discovering being there makes her weak, only for her to grab them last second and come into the real world. She steals a cabbie, grabs a piece of a lamppost right as they manage to grab her and bring her back to the realm again, and try to bring her back to Charn, only to discover they've unintentionally brought her to Narnia. Now here's where you'll get a laugh: when Aslan was saying he was there when the Deep Magic was written, he was being modest. He CREATED Narnia and everything in it with his lion's song, along with giving the animals the gift of speech. The ground at this point is so fertile it'll grow anything, and upon throwing the metal on the ground, it grows into a new lamppost. Aslan sends Digory on a quest to atone for bringing the WW to Narina, by finding a silver apple and bringing it back. Digory gets there, there's a warning to not touch it (you see where this is going, right?), and the WW catches up to him, after eating an apple to make her immortal. Digory somehow resists and brings it back, plants the tree, and he's rewarded with permission to bring one back for his dying mother to heal her, and us sent back home. His mother heals, he plants the core along with the rings and it turns into a tree, and after he finally becomes the professor, a storm blows the tree down, so he has it made into THE wardrobe.

[@PriyanshuSingh25302]

@@videohistory722 Thankyou for taking the time to write this summary Edit:I have not read the narnia novels so this actually gave some context to me

[@LadyOndyne]

Fact you can notice... as winter fades, the Witch clothes got muddier, her crown gets smaller. And at the battle she is wearing Alsan's shaved mane, to bring fear into Narnians. The details. The photography. The music. The costumes. This movie is perfection.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

3:46 That’s how it happened in the Second World War: Children from cities were tagged and shipped to the countryside. That’s how the ‘Paddington’ Series happened. It was inspired by that time.

[@オーくん-p5r]

I love how the actor who plays Santa says that "Winter is almost over", and he also plays Commander Mormont of the Night's Watch in Game of Thrones where he says "Winter is coming" XD

[@itol2201]

Holy shit, I never realized that!

[@iReiGNxx]

Over time, I’ve really come to love the scene where Mr. Tumnus tries to hypnotize Lucy. The music builds from a quiet whimsical sound into a growing sense of danger. Then it all culminates with Aslan himself appearing in the fire to give Tumnus a stern reminder that he’s doing something wrong. I think it’s great cause you don’t even know who that is yet on a first viewing, but on a rewatch you understand exactly what happening.

[@ncard00]

This movie’s score is so up there, especially the battle theme, when Lucy first enters Narnia, and the transition from Lucy reviving all the fallen people from the battle, to the castle, to the 4 of them getting their crowns, just incredible.

[@jonathancruz5932]

I remember the books series of The Chronicles of Narnia in the old days of elementary and middle school. I never stop reading. There’s a quote by C.S. Lewis the author for the series once said, “One day, you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again.”

[@margaretkurek2111]

The full dedication of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to his goddaughter Lucy: “My Dear Lucy, I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather”

[@hatcat4291]

It's been awhile since I've read the books but I'm pretty sure that the food Edmund eats is actually enchanted or extremely addictive which is why it's so easy for the witch to convince him to bring his brothers and sisters. Love this movie series so much, really glad you watched this

[@samuelvincent557]

Correct. The enchanted food and drink she game him makes him crave it more than everything. It doesn't help that Edmond is fairly weak willed and selfish at the beginning.

[@TheOldSword]

It is a parallel of the silver given to Judas Iscariot.

[@jinphany.]

Not to mention he's supposed to be what? 10, and during the war everything was being rationed so he probs hadn't had sth sweet in a while.. AND he also didn't know the white witch wanted to harm them.

[@SkullyBud]

Watching this there's so many lines and things in here that reference the Bible and Jesus directly as C.S. Lewis intended but it hits hard. The way you reacted to how Aslan was sacrificed was appropriate cause that's what Jesus suffered for us tenfold. My favorite line was at the end where Tumnus says "After all, he isn't a tame Lion." And Lucy says "No, but he is good." That is God's personality. He is a righteous, just, and loving God.

[@benarts2271]

This movie made such a surreal impact in my childhood. Nothing but good ol’ classic fantasy stories. The characters, world building, everything! Also, Aslan is Jesus 😆

Fun fact in the books asland is Narnia's incarnation of Christ. And if I remember correctly was actually mentioned briefly in the movie the Dawn Treader and I believe quite a few of the books

[@hoobananaz]

The cast/director’s commentary on this is fantastic too! I loved it almost more than the movie! (It was also filmed in New Zealand just like LOTR)!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I had the biggest crush on Peter (William Moseley). I wanted him to protect me against the treacherous ice and the hostile factions.

[@artlibris3754]

I remember being so excited for the Prince Caspian movie when I was young simply because I had a "crush" on Prince Capian / Ben Barnes.

[@aprili.3802]

I love all the biblical parallels in this story - great writing!

[@enzonicolas7501]

I love the music in Narnia 🥰

[@RYMAN1321]

One of my favorite childhood films. Watched it in the theater as well as the DVD many times. The year after it came out, I went to Disney World and even saw Tilda Swinton in person on the Narnia set. She was so awesome!

[@Themandalorian935]

Aslan in Turkish means lion. No surprise there. Also liam neeson is the perfect choice to voice him.

[@ZacShallow5682]

Great reaction Tim, this movie is amazing it brings back so memories when I was a child Liam Neeson did such a great job with Aslan

[@rubysgs]

these movies are some of my favourites from my childhood. so happy that you're getting into them! i personally love all three - i know some people say that the third is pretty weak in comparison to the first two, but i really liked it. these movies do such a great job of drawing you into the world and always leaves me in awe of how fantastical and magical the world is! excited for the next one :)

[@mogwiawolf4354]

grew up watching these movies and love them

[@The1stGiant]

In the book series there’s actually One prequel that gives a lot more context for everything, setting the stage, And explaining things, including for example the random lamp post in the middle of the forest.

[@ven_skywalker7007]

I was introduced to the book series around the same time as LoTR which is cool considering CS Lewis and Tolkien were friends. Tolkien told Lewis one cannot put a lamppost in a fantasy story so naturally, that’s exactly what lewis does 😂. The one gripe I have is that the movie doesn’t explain that the Turkish delight Edmund eats is laced with magic. It causes him to crave more and more of it and will cause him to do anything to attain it. Essentially a witch hooks an 11 yr old onto an extremely addictive drug. If you get a chance, take some deep dives into the narnia lore during the siblings’ rule. All of them are literal badasses, and all four balance each other out perfectly. One cannot succeed without each other Also if I’m not mistaken, Asian is the actual Turkish word for lion

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Merry Christmas Eve Eve.

[@Ar7ifur]

Tilda Swinton was just in the new 2022 pinnochio and I literally love her in everything. this movie was my introduction to her

[@lizebotha8783]

I thought you said in a previous video you and Nick were going to watch Narnia on Nick's channel, but I still appreciate your reaction

[@cirrusB612]

So the old Professor, Professor Kirk, had an entire book where he was the main character and he witnessed the beginning of Narnia. It’s his fault that the white witch came to Narnia, and the wood that the wardrobe is made of is from a tree he grew with world-traveling rings. The book is called “The Magician’s Nephew” and it’s really profound.

[@lmlmtmtm3641]

I like how during the battle scene the birds resemble the war planes and the rocks the bombs

[@rjmckenzie4706]

The Professor is from the previous book the Magicians Nephew, that is why he grinned at the end. This movie is a classic and never gets old.

[@Phoenix-ug1ru]

24:32 I just realized, she's not just pissed because he's sitting on her throne, but also because it makes her think of the prophecy of humans sitting on thrones and her downfall

[@demo2823]

8:19 Narnia is a country in this alternate world. To their south is a mountain range and their sister country Archenland, which the surviving Narnian humans managed to flee to during the hundred years of snow. Below that is Calormen, a desert country with very Middle Eastern culture, who have no talking animals. To the East are many islands and then eventually, the end of the world. It's not made clear what is west of Lantern Waste, where Lucy enters, other than that a land named Telmar was there. To the North of Narnia are wild lands mostly unclaimed except by occasional giants.

[@MasterOfTheElements]

Aslan is adorable and Liam Neeson did a great job at making him seem kind and gentle but powerful at the same time.

[@bookworm4174]

I have to add, parts of this were filmed in NZ and Weta worked on props just like Lord of the Rings.

[@letty0804]

FINALLY OMG I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE REACTING TO THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA TRILOGY 😭💙

[@green-legacy]

this movie was terrifying to me as a kid

[@bronsoverbrains586]

I was seven years old when the first Narnia movie came out. Beforehand, I knew nothing about the book series or anything about Narnia in general, and this film blew me away!

[@richardlevy1459]

Children were evacuated from London this way in world war 2. Bedknobs and broomsticks had the same premise. It had a huge impact on people's psyche and was often in fiction at this time and other elements of what war brings

[@Plasticcaz]

The Turkish Delight Edmund betrays his siblings for is enchanted to make it addicting... just to add some context for why he asks for more...

[@noelleanglade1412]

Great job on your reaction Tim! Also if anyone is a fan of Kingdom Hearts and is looking for a really good fanfiction to read I would highly recommend Kingdom Hearts: World Conquest which features Devon (the main OC character) who is on a quest to become a Keyblade Wielder with the help of his friends Luna, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, Barf and Belch, Spyro, and Cynder. The reason why I brought this up is because in chapters 25-32 they go into Narnia during the events of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe!

[@navidhudson7065]

So many good memories with this one! Not sure if Disney will ever shell out on making another epic action adventure fantasy film like this again, this was quite a movie event for the 2005 Christmas season. The battle scenes and score is just epic and memorable, also Tilda Swinton was so GOOD as the White Witch. She enjoyed playing the role and I was so obsessed with her. Aslan the Lion was done so well and had a lot of emotions compared to The Lion King remake. The film won the Oscar for best makeup but I was a little disappointed that it lost best visual effects to King Kong.

[@karenhall4645]

If you watch closely, as the weather gets warmer, the spires on the Witch's crown get smaller until by the battle her crown is completely gone.

[@holabambi]

i LOVE this movie and literally know it by heart! i watched the dvd so much i consumed it lmao. when i was younger i used to play in my grandma's wardrobe trying to find Narnia so this movie brings back so many cute and happy memories 🤍

[@agenttheater5]

The White Witch was preventing Father Christmas from coming because when Christmas comes then the New Year follows, and when the New Year begins then it's the beginning of the end of winter and the beginning of the beginning of Spring. And when Spring comes, then Aslan is supposed to come back. Apparently there's an older version of the Father Christmas figure where his arrival signified that winter would be ending soon.

[@hersonsantana3236]

He is Risen! And Living For Ever and Ever!

[@jamalbryant8099]

The same writers that did this movie also wrote Winter soldier, civil war, infinity war and endgame, and created agent Carter show

[@stevenvalencia3912]

This movie series deserves more!! Theres actually 7 books and we only got 3 movies😔

[@PokhrajRoy.]

1 hour Reaction? I don’t need snacks as I just finished my dinner and that was good thinking on my part.

[@lillyvandendikkenberg9480]

I'M SO HAPPY YOU REACTED TO THIS!!! I'm currently playing Lucy in a children's theatre production of the lion the witch and the wardrobe!!

[@BLUNAProductions]

Everything about this film is perfect!!!

[@Matacron]

I think it's truly tragic that a movie hasn't been made for the book "The Magician's Nephew," and it looks like it won't be happening any time in the near future, so if you want to know why the Professor was so understanding and believed all of them, read it. Although it was the sixth of seven books released, chronologically it's the first book in The Chronicles of Narnia. I personally consider it the best.

[@hippiechic6772]

I got here much later than I thought I would.... but Wow! I Love this reactions and comments you have Timothee I enjoyed this absolutely ....tears of joy! I remember this story from when I was really young and it never disappoints me . The action, storyline, the Epic scenes and cast make this one of my all time favorite movies . I don't watch it often but it always feels like a treat when I do . Thank you so much for this Timothee....it brightens every Christmas season . Merry Christmas

[@Elfygaming]

Loved your reaction on this gem!! It’s such a good adaptation and a great movie, I also really recommend the second one. And you’ll get a lot out of the books too, especially first one, The Magicians Nephew, it explains how Narnia came to be and about the Witch and the Wardrobe, it’s really worth a read or listen😄

[@dragontamer626]

It’s never touched on in this film but the professor was the first one to visit the land of Narnia when he was a boy. The book is called the Magician’s Nephew which precedes The Lion, witch and the Wardrobe, and I highly recommend it. It explains all about the lamppost and how the wardrobe is made from the wood of a Narnian tree. CS Lewis is my favourite author of all time!

[@komalvishwakarma1104]

He is my all time favourite author too!!! Love the whole series and how it takes you to it's magical world! While reading my mind would always go into the world of Narnia and I think it's the only novel that made me cry for days even after I was done reading everything!

[@frufruJ]

It's not touched on in this film because it's not touched on in the book. The Magician's Nephew is the 6th book. Yes, it does explain a lot, but it's meant for a reader who has already read tLtW&tW, not the other way around.

[@dragontamer626]

@@frufruJ ah yes you’re absolutely right. Don’t know why I thought that. 😂

[@mogwiawolf4354]

also in the books edmund became a great swords men to prove to himself and everyone that he was not a traitor and be a good king which i think is awesome

[@PokhrajRoy.]

This movie used to play in India a lot. The English language Movie Channel would play it a lot. It’s an unusual Christmas movie. Interesting how a lot of people are revisiting it now.

[@morningrosie3684]

You know, I kinda see it more as an Easter movie based on the events with the whole Aslan coming back to life and everything, but yeah, it’s fun to watch at Christmas too.
