I really like the poster. I love that it has Reep and Aslan. I hope that means that they will both be a driving force of the quest like in the book. Reepicheep seems to direct the course of the voyage more than Drinian and Caspian but Aslan is watching over the whole thing and has the ultimate say over what happens. The ship's reflection in his eye seems to indicate that Aslan will be watching over them.
I hope that "Return to Hope" is meant to make fans feel better about the direction the movies are going.

So, now that we finally have an official HQ image, I feel like I can properly critique it.

I love how the focus is on Aslan, nearly entirely. I'm a bit surprised that the DT isn't more prominently featured, but I suspect that Fox is saving that for a later marketing blitz, since it is very much VdT's big "weenie", or attention-grabber, and by holding the exciting stuff back a bit, it helps create excitement. They probably think that if they release all the big, fancy stuff early, it will front-load VdT's marketing blitz and excitement and buzz will fizz out toward the end, not get bigger.

So, in conclusion, NOT putting the DT in promotional images so early makes sense from a marketing standpoint. I do think we'll see the DT soon; definitely not past the trailer, which will hopefully be here in a month or so??

I agree with everyone else that Reep feels a bit tacked-on, but I also understand why they'd want to have Reep on the poster, since he was one of the most popular bits of PC and they want that to carry over in people's minds.

Love the tiny teaser of the DT, and it looks fabulous in the HQ version. Can't wait until we get a real proper look at it, post-production!

Considering Reepicheep was on the blue mini-poster, the Cannes Festival one, and now this one, it seems like he's becoming something like VDT's logo.

Without a doubt, the BEST Narnia movie poster so far. Simple and elegant. Only thing I don't like is the inclusion of Reep on the logo, seems very out of place.

Ok, this might officially be my favorite movie poster. It's simple and that's why I like it. The reflection of the Dawn Treader in Aslan's eye....

Kudos Fox and Walden

I noticed you subtly changed your avatar.

Loving the high-res version... you can get right in close on the eye.

Gives us our first look at the Dawn Treader's full sail (the set at Cleveland point only had the bottom third to a half of the sail on it). Although its not perfect , it gives you some indication about what the full yellow design pattern on the sail will look like:

Also gives you some appreciation for what the boat will look like sitting on the water

First time in like... five and a half years or so? They didn't give me anything to work with on PC!

Yeah, except now I can only see the right 2/3 and it's tiny. So I still have no idea what that pattern is supposed to be. I DO like the small triangular flag in the back.

I think you had a different avatar for a little bit right before the forum change. I can't remember what it was but I remember it being different.

The sail is tiny. It could be wishful thinking, but it looks that it possibly could be a stylized lion's head. Obviously, I'm not sure and I could only zoom in so much before it became pixelated. Thoughts anyone?

Of course...I go away for a couple days and the poster is released while I'm gone. This could only happen to me.

I like this poster, very beautiful and very simple! I admit, however, that I'm disappointed that their is no sign of Caspian, Edmund, Lucy or Eustace, as they were what I was most looking forward to seeing.

I would definitely not say this is my favorite poster out of any of them. In fact I think I liked both PC posters and the LWW poster better than this. This is nice enough though.

Has anyone else noticed how Aslan's small pupil right in the middle of his eye gives him fishy looking eyes? They should have put the pupil towards the top of the eye and made it a bit larger and it would have looked better.

EDIT: Quick photoshop job to fix the pupil:

I love the poster, although I wish there was more detail to it but this is good. No really really good, because now we are closer to getting the trailer and more stills from the movie. It's exciting people

I also adore the reflection of the Dawn Treader in Aslan's eye, and the 'Return to Hope" line. I cannot wait until December this year.

Great photoshopping, NL101! The eye looks much better with the pupil slightly enlarged.

I really like the poster as well. I was surprised that no humans were featured, but that will come later. While I love posters that have lots of characters, I love the simplicity of this one. My favorite detail is the Dawn Treader (of course) in Aslan's eye.

Their evil scheme is working! This poster is definitely a "teaser" poster. They're keeping their cards close, those sneaky marketing people. They give us a tiny Dawn Treader and CG characters who we've already seen that would never change between movies. Just think how much more excited the hardcore fans and even casual moviegoers will be when we finally see a poster with people! Caspian will have his new piratey hairstyle and Eustace will make an appearance. And there will be water and the ship.

And you're only a few hours late Robby.

I have serious emotional problems with Reepicheep standing on the logo. This looks more Disneyish than anything Disney did for Narnia. Looks very out of place; totally ruins the poster for me.

We've been sensing for a while that Fox would lay low on the marketing initially. My feeling is that the upcoming teaser trailer probably won't show much either.

The ship in the eye is better than hoped now that we have a better picture. Reepicheep is on the poster because (in my opinion) because he is often chosen as a favorite character but he shouldn't be there. It certainly looks tacky.

If you look at the part with Reep and the logo, it is straight off the digital poster. Just without the blue background. It doesn't look tacky as much as it looks placed on. I think it has something to do with the different textures in each image. One is a bit more clean cut than the other.

Its a good solid poster for a teaser. It offers a touchstone from the previous movies and offers a bit of mystery for the next. I wonder if they are aiming their advertising at non-book readers. Those who don't have a clue that VDT actually takes place at sea.
