Or they could have a wave splash into the bedroom and the kids jump on the bed. Then the bedroom fills up with water and the bed is spun around them room and carried off onto the open sea! No wait...that's Jungle Jam and Friends...

I have no idea how they'd film that scene...I'm always picturing the really cheesy BBC version of it, so that ruins it for me.

oooh.....
it would be so cool if the water rose up and poured into the room and they were pushed out into the sea through the picture frame and then the frame and the room could be drowned under the water!

^ Yeah, that's kind of what I was picturing. It would almost feel like changing the aspect ratio of the video.

glumpuddle: thank you for agreeing with me!
yeah, it would change the aspect, but not the story!

Yes...I always rather liked that scene...I hope they leave it in...I can't think of any reason off the top of my head why they would take it out! Can anyone else? I think they should be able to make it work!

Um, considering that is the way the children enter Narnia it wouldn't make sense for them to leave it out. The only way they could would be to create a new way for them to enter Narnia and if did that it would not only be impractical but unnecessary. I can see them giving their own take on this scene, and I am waiting in anticipation to see what their version will be, but I can't see them inventing an entirely different one for them to enter Narnia.

It would be cool if the water would pour in through the picture frame, then a big wave would hit the wall and the room would crumble and fall with a big splash into the sea.

Did you ever wonder where that picture came from? I don't have the book in front of me, but I think the only thing it says is that Lucy and Edmund always liked that picture because it reminded them of Narnia. But how did it get in their house? (Or was that Eustace's house?) Do you think the film might add in something there, like having Lucy find it in some London junk shop, and buying it and bringing it home?

The picture was a wedding present to Aunt Alberta(Eustace's mom) and she put it in the spare bedroom because she didn't like it but she didn't want to throw it away and offend the giver.

Lucy and Edmund were spending summer holidays at Eustaces house and Lucy was sleeping in the spare bedroom. She and Ed were talking and admiring the picture when the whole adventure began.

I love narnialover101's idea where the children are submerged and when they come up, they're in Narnia. I would prefer it if there's not a lot of shrinking or growing of pictures or people actually seen. I just can't imagine a way it wouldn't look cheesy.

I suppose the waves to blast the picture frame away and then the wall... but that's way too much like PC.

I think a great way to do this scene would be to have them (Lucy and Edmund) in the room talking about the picture and then, of course, Eustace comes in. Conversation follows. Then when the transition happens the waves come in the room and gets the floor wet. Eustace runs out to tell Alberta but stops at the doorway because he hears a huge wave. He turns around just in time to see it crash down on him.

Now we get an underwater view of everything. Edmund and Lucy and floating near each other. The room is completely submerged. Then we get a closeup of Lucy's face...it zooms out to open ocean--no room. The camera looks up and just like the *storyboard art they are taken up to the surface in a kind of underwater whirlwind type thing.

* see picture.

I always thought that the picture would get bigger kind of in proportion as the waves began to move. Then the room would kind of go on a 90 degree angle with the wall that has the picture on the top. Then the water would pour down into the room (but the room's not there anymore) and they kind of fall up into the picture...actually, a lot like the "Up is Down" scene Pirates of the Caribbean 3, except falling up not down.

I really like Liberty and Ed P.'s ideas though, it's pretty cool that there's tons of different ways to do this scene that it would work well.

I like your idea but I love how in the book Eustace goes to "smash the rotton picture!" and then the wave sweeps over them...the chance of them doing it like the book is slim though

Edmund P: where did you get that cool storyboard? did you make it yourself, or did you get it from the actual movie?
