I LOVE the new Poster!!!!! :D :p
Like everyone is saying I really Love the simplicity of it!
I think it’s perfect to have the Dawn Treader reflected in Aslan’s eye, I think it adds a little bit of mystery for those who don’t know VDT’s story. I Love that Aslan is the center of attention!
I can see why some people don’t like Reep on the logo, but I think they added him so people would know as soon as they saw him that it's .;)
I’m hoping for a full character poster soon, with Caspian, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace added with Aslan and Reep and of course the Dawn Treader herself! :D

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.

I agree with you about Reepicheep's placement. It looked weird on the blue logo banner, and it looks out of place here.

The logo looks good - but someone at Fox should probably update Narnia.com so that the fonts are the same. Details matter, folks. :)

I do like the poster. It's really great...for a teaser poster. I hope this isn't like an official poster or anything though. I'm glad the focus is on Aslan. He really needs to be more of the focus in these movies. However I don't like Reepicheep in the poster. Why is he there? Also THEY STILL HAVE MAGIC! Soooo cheesy. Now I know Narnia is "magical" but magic is used in soo many taglines...it's annoying.

While the tagline is still leaves much to be desired, overall the poster is simpler and more beautiful than I expected. :) Definitely a great teaser poster! This sort of advertising savvy gives me more hope for the success of VDT.

And NL101, that is a really good job photoshopping Aslan's pupil. An obvious improvement over the poster! :)

Awesome poster for VDT. I love the detail that we get to see in Aslan's face and it is nice to see him more involved on a Narnia poster once again. The reflected image of the DT in Aslan's eye is just great. Really pushes the idea that Aslan is watching out for the voyagers no matter the danger. The whole tagline is okay. There are definitely worse ones out there. Personally, I find a lot of taglines to just be cheesy, so I can accept the lines chosen for VDT.

I LOVE this poster! It's very simple and very Narnian...the best Narnia poster of all. Aslan is definitely not a normal lion, certainly not a tame lion in that picture. The regality in his face is eye-catching.
No, I'm not crazy about Reep. To be honest...I didn't see him the first time I saw the poster. I was so whipped away by Aslan I didn't even notice Reep was there.
Glenstorm the Great: I see your point about 'magic' taglines. The word is far overused, even if it's really appropriate for this film.
Anyhoo: I don't think this will be the final or main advertising poster. That one will probably be closer to the Cannes banner. But this is definitely a good start.

I don't have long . . . I have an exam to get to :( But I am taking time out of the mayhem to say how much I absolutely love this poster. Love it. So much more than anything for PC (I wasn't around for LWW). I think it's really beautiful. :D I didn't realise the Dawn Treader was there until you guys pointed it out, details like that are complete gems. :-bd

Ok, so it doesn't show us anything about the movie, but it's a teaser poster right? Has successfully teased me! I want more!! Aslan is the perfect image. Although Reep perhaps does look a mite sore-thumb-ish, he does seem to be a the fore-front of the marketing so far, he's the spirit of the voyage no?

I like the words, I don't even care that they could be interpreted as cheesy, I love 'em.

Love, Love, Love. :x

I like it a lot!!! Can't wait for the trailer and the official poster!!!!!!!!! I didn't notice the ship untill it was mentioned either but I may have if it hadn't been 5:00am when I looked at it lol :p
Aslan looks better than ever!!! As for Reep, they can stick him wherever they like imo. He is a favorite and this is his last movie correct? I haven't read LB yet.

I agree that Reepicheep looks a little out of place. I think I would like it more if he wasn't there. But I love the Dawn Treader in Aslan's eye. That is cool. The tagline......I'll live. It's not terrible.

I officially LOVE this poster. It's like, simple, and so different from any other movie poster. Which I love. It really stands out, I think! The line return to magic is one I love, for in PC the magic seemed gone, and was restored in the end, but of course, that was just in the last 5 minutes of the film. So now we will see the magic once again. Return to hope: I love this line, it sounds dramatic without implying Narnia is in danger.

I love Aslan on this poster, he seems more Aslan like then ever. Just love it!

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.

Yeah, I'm not fond about it either, but I think, from a marketing view, it's smart. They wanted to make this poster with Aslan, but they probably realized that those who weren't formiliar with the books already knew Aslan would return. So they had to put something familiar on it that would make sure people get excited. And reepicheep was very loved in PC.

Only thing I can't figure out, is why they actually put him on the Logo. There is no reason for that. I'm just afraid the taiser will be an animation of reepicheep jumping on top of the Logo. That would be horrible.

Yet, with this poster, I can look past it, because I like the rest of it.

Well, the people over on comingsoon.net think the poster is too like Avatar's.
I liked it up until now, but that kind of ruined it for me. At least it's only the teaser poster.
I'm glad Reep has a place on the poster (most likely he'll be a highly important character this time) but I don't like the placement. It's a little out-of-the-blue in front of Aslan's huge face.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *takes breath*

Finally! I think it's it gorgeous! I'm really liking that it says "Return to the magic" which probably means it's going back to the magic of the first one!

Hopefully another poster will come out with Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace on it. But this one is amazing just the same! Very happy about this! Yay!

I imagine that the design meeting for this poster went something like this:

1. They used the "Avatar" poster as a starting point. And why not? Avatar is the only reason VDT is being converted to 3D (like many other films).

2. After they committed to that idea, they realized that the movie has "Dawn Treader" in the title, so they had to find a place to throw the Dawn Treader in. The only possible place was Aslan's eye.

3. Then they needed a tagline, because otherwise the audience might not realize that this movie takes place in Narnia, and has magic in it. But two doesn't sound satisfying. So they had to think of another line. How about..."Hope"? I mean...why not? (It's so vague, and could apply to so many movies, that it's meaningless)

4. Reepicheep was one of the few things everyone loved about PC, so they had to find a place to throw him in. So they slapped him on the logo. I mean...why not? (It appears that Reep has become a permanent part of the logo)

This is probably the most uninspired piece of Narnia marketing yet.
