It's been a while!

 I have not posted here in a while! I have seen a very strange amount of traffic in this space (and I am not sure how or why this happens). 


Anyway, please note that I will be updating here more often. I plan on doing a review of the 2005 Disney film which turned 20 last year! 


Hope all is well with everyone.

The Call- Regina Spektor

Image
 Next up in my foray into Narnia was this song by Regina Spektor. I am not a fan of hers, by any means. I did not watch the Narnia movies by Disney when they came out, but this song was literally everywhere. I know people are very sentimental about this song, so I don't want to dunk on it too much. I have very vivid memories of being at the movies and hearing this song against my will everywhere in the bloody cinema and seeing the posters for the film.

Turkish Delight · Susanne Sundfør

Image
  The title of this blog comes from the lyrics of this incredible song by Susanne Sundfør. And if eternal winter, if eternal snow I'll have a Turkish delight I've got the freeze, they offer me holy wine It gets me through the night Everybody's hungry for more and more and more and Even though they know that Maugrim's at the door and Everybody thought they could make it on their own but I have seen them turn into stone Everybody thought they could make it on their own but I saw them turn into stone I am a huge fan of the treat Turkish Delight (the real stuff, not the disgusting mass-produced ones), so the title of this track had caught my eye.

"The Silicone Veil" is my favourite album of hers, and I think that this song would have been a better  fit sonically than  the one it was actually on.  For years I had thought about how 'Turkish Delight' reminded me of The Lion, The Witch, and th...

My First Foray Into Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1979 film)

Image
My first foray into Narnia was seeing The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe , the 1979 animated made-for-television film, in its syndication on the Disney Channel . I have very vivid memories of the scene with the White Witch meeting Edmund for the first time, and Edmund meeting Maugrim (who in this version is referred to as "Fenris Ulf," the name given to him for the US revisions of the novel until 1994). I didn't remember very much else from it. There are two different dubs of this film, the American version (which I saw), and the UK version (which I have yet to sit through). It was broken up into two parts, and was apparently seen by 37 million viewers and won two Emmy Awards (according to Wikipedia). It was directed by Bill Melendez of Peanuts fame. Ironic that it made its way onto the Disney Channel, because Melendez was a well-known and insufferable Disney-hater. The animation is.... not great. What may have been charming for Peanuts looks...just plain bad when it ...
