I always thought the window had just a lamppost on it. Today I looked again, and now the window...just looks like a mess. The moon is in one corner, and the sun is on the other, the lamppost is in the middle, and the Dawn Treader is on the bottom. And...there's a lot of swirls and shapes.
I might have liked it better if they focused on one image instead of sworling them all together.
Yeah the stained glass was a bit "busy" (too many things in it), but having many things in it seems appropriate for it being a stained glass window 'telling a story' in pictures. Probably should have had more than just one tiny window.
I noticed a few other things watching the DVD. I did notice this in the theatre but it just sticks out more on DVD. Eustace's 'teleportation' is not limited to just the end. Apparently after the boat scene where he thinks he's hit the British Consul with the oar he then magically appears walking in the procession behind Edmund and Lucy after the slave trader fight scene. It's strange that he could make it that fast back to them after trying to get away and he's ending up where he was when he tried to get away.
Also had the subtitles on and the closed captioner must have been having fun because in the morning scene before they wake up and see the Blue Star they caption "Eustace snores" for Dragon Eustace just as they did when he was human.

No, that's some time later. Plenty of things have happened in between, for instance all the people in the town have gathered, Lord Bern has gone to fetch the sword, etc.
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.
"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."
Well if it is later, then there should have been a scene of explanation in between those two events to show that. The way it was cut/edited/arranged gives me the wrong impression. Also I tend to take things very literally/face value. I disliked having to fill in the blanks myself with this movie.

Let me ask a question. In the theatrical release, was there an invisible Aslan on the beach at the end?
On the DVD/Blu-Ray, when you see the shadows walking across the beach there is Aslan's shadow with nothing casting it.
I noticed that. I was like, wait, what? But I think it was an unintended consequence of changing the format from the theatrical release to the DVD.

stateofgreen, I noticed that bit where he appears with them as well, and although there is an explantation, I don't thisnk that it is made clear that something happened between the two events which links them together. And also, once he hit the guy, why did he not contiue trying to get away. He seems scared that he knocked out that guy but Eustace relly only thinks about himself so why would he not carry on running away? and how would he know that the fight has finished so that he can go back up and rejoin the others...grrr its frustrating . At least we read the books so we realise that there would be a lot going on before the ship leaves the island
Narnia is childhood...
Seriously, just give the kid the orange. He needs his vitamin C!

I think you're right about that. But even by accident, it could have a deeper meaning. Aslan was with them all the time, and here He is just before becoming visible.
Doesn't make up for them leaving out the scene with the Lamb at breakfast though.

^Good point, Pepper. We Narnia nuts can read as much as we want into what may have been a mistake.
You're right, though. I was severely disappointed that they left out the scene with the lamb. There was so much biblical symbolism to it...then again, perhaps that's why they took it out....

The stain-glassed window at the beginning is most definitely the Dawn Treader. Remember, the lampost is actually the top of the mast on the Dawn Treader, and it is the same way on the window. (Pause the movie at the scene where Eustace the dragon pulls the ship and Ramandu's Island comes into view. Caspian also explains this in "Caspian's Tour of the Dawn Treader" or whatever it is called, on the Blu-Ray.

^^ your right!!!!! I finally was able to see the ship in the stained glass! so cool!
I think it's funny that on Coriakin's island, Lucy conveiniently sleeps wearing her belt with her dagger on it.....she's prepared when the Duffers kidnap her

I'll have to look for the ship in the stained glass.
Did you notice that in the BBC television production that Edmund or Caspian uses a large seashell to test the water at Deathwater Island, and that the Walden film production uses a similar large seashell to test the water at Goldwater island?
I finally was able to see aslan's face in the stars!!!!! I love it!
I think that Aslan's shadow is meant to be by itself before he actually appears. I mean, first, there's no one. then he comes out of nowhere. so the transition is the shadow!
it honestly doesn't bother me

I think I don't find it yet.
I found a mouth like shape in the stars.
Is it...?

Either for me.
I've noticed most of stuff. But did you notice that in PC, when Lucy flees before a bear and behind her Trumpkin and the boys take the bow, they do it twice?
Lucy:Do you remember who really defeated the White Witch?
Peter: Yes.
Susan:No.
Lucy:Do you both believe in Narnia?
Narnians, Caspian and Edmund:We believe.
Susan and Peter:Shut up.
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this or not, but I thought it was really weird that Edmund's sword glowed when he killed the sea serpent. The movie made a big deal about Caspian giving Peter's sword to Edmund; so it's for sure that's the sword he was using. Since Rhindon wasn't one of the seven swords, it really shouldn't have glowed.
i just noticed that in PC the Pevensies enter Narnia down on the beach but a little while later, they've ever so quickly made it to the top of the cliff where Cair Paravel once stood... Was there a secret staircase we didn't see
