I don't know. I don't think the Walden Media sea serpent looks anything like the BBC sea serpent. They both have serpent-like bodies but this one has a face more akin to a deep-sea angler/catfish hybrid than anything else. It even has the shellfish clinging to it, as described in the book. I think I remember the BBC version having a horse-head, also, as described.

I was looking at particularly the head, which I thought with the jagged, pointy, needle-like, sticking every which way teeth just made me think of the BBC's sea serpent.

For some reason, I'm drawing a blank as to what the BBC Sea Serpent looked like... So strange, considering that I've seen that movie several times and grew up with it. Now I'm going to have to watch it again to see what it looks like.

As for the new serpent, I was surprised at first. My first thought was, "Serpent? Looks like a worm to me!" and I wasn't happy. However, after looking at stills and screen captures, I've come to kind of like it. It's not really what Lewis described, but it does look like the sort of thing that would live in the deep ocean... like, if sea serpents were real, this would be it. I think my initial shock came from the fact that I was expecting a reptilian creature, not a fishy thing. Wasn't it more reptilian in the BBC version?

It kind of reminded me of the asteroid-dwelling Space Slug from The Empire Strikes Back crossed with the mouth of the Sarlacc Monster from Return of the Jedi.

hmmm.....I was going to say that I thought that the Walden Media one was a lot different than the BBC one......I love how the serpent came out!

I think it looks a little tad similar to the BBC serpent but this version definitely looks better. The colors in the trailer were too dark for me to tell but it looks pretty epic so I'll probably be gripping the edge of my seat when I watch it in 3D.

Here's the BBC version, I couldn't find a picture.

Neither of them are what I expected, but I like the walden version much better. I always thought of it as more dragon like, with bigger teeth but not as big as the bbc version.

By the way its right at the begining, just after the credits.

MY EYESSS!!!!!!! Is that what all of the BBC CoN movies look like?

Anyway, not really a fan of the Walden sea serpent, but monster design doesn't make or break a movie for me. Now if the special effects were all as horrible as in that clip, it'd be a different story.

^ lol Bookwyrm, and yeah they do look like that, they used horses with sticks on their heads as the WW's stags . PS I'm not trying to offend anyone who liked them, especially, those who grew up with them, they just didn't cut it for me. (They could have used reindeer, or at least puppet reindeer)

Anyway as I said I still like waldens verion better.

Bookwyrm: I'm afraid that all the BBC Narnia movies do look like that - and worse.

well, there is sort of similarity in the two serpents, but the new one is mostly different from the old one IMO

I don't remember the BBC Sea Serpent.
I was expecting a more serpent like creature But this one is definitely scary, and the special effects are pretty good

Umm... I'm not sure if you guys noticed this, and I'm not sure if I'm right but I think , not sure if I like that.

I wonder if what you say Wolfloversk, explains what must have happened in this:

I did notice (I've watched the trailer at least five or ten times!) and I'm pretty sure you're right. It looks when you watch it in motion, right before the shot switches. But don't worry, something quite similar happened in the book. I will go double-check that and edit this post shortly.

Edit: Yes, what happens in the book is

About the BBC version -- well, despite the special effects, I really like them because they follow the book.
