Even ignoring its blatant and entirely unnecessary religious undertones, many true fans were a little unhappy with The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Now looking at the first trailer for the second installment, Prince Caspian, we feel confident director Andrew Adamson has addressed some of these issues. Watch The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian trailer and let us know what you think.
Watch the Trailer
Those of you who don't support religious fanaticism in any format and would rather not watch Christian propaganda, you might enjoy The Golden Compass trailer.

I read the words, "Christian propaganda" in regards to The Chronicles of Narnia and was ammused because when I found out what The Golden Compass was about I thought of it as Athiest propaganda. If The Chronicles of Narnia supports religious fanaticism, then does The Golden Compass support athiestic fanaticism?

My apologies if I am incorrect, but I guess when Jack wrote this perhaps he didn't realize that "many true fans" of The Chronicles of Narnia were Christians that expected, "blatant...religious undertones" because C.S. Lewis was a Christian author. If my initial comment bothered anyone, that was not my intent. I was only repeating what the above article said, and saying that The Golden Compass could be viewed as "propaganda" too from a christian view because it was written by an athiest who disliked C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia.

Had I made statements regarding "atheist propaganda," it's likely that passing atheists would have read, shrugged, mourned my ignorance and continued on their merry way. Christians, however, are so insecure in their faiths that a small, virtually insignificant implication that their religion shouldn't be the rest of the world's highest concern, triggers a ridiculous defense mechanism. At which point the Christian begins to fling off-topic passages from The Bible laced with frequently close to illiterate statements and threats of an eternity in hell. I guess I would consider that fanaticism.
Fanaticism is an emotion of being filled with excessive, uncritical zeal, particularly for an extreme religious or political cause, or with an obsessive enthusiasm for a pastime or hobby.
Additionally, I do realize that "true fans" of C.S. Lewis are expecting "religious undertones," but if fanatics are going to picket in front of a non-Christian film release (we'll use Dogma as an example), I'm entitled to a few, what might be perceived as semi-derogatory statements toward the faith that funded the film. Had this piece been about a film supporting an entirely different cult, I would have made similar statements toward their religion as well (see: Will Arntz Interview for an example).
That said, I encourage people like you to be vocal when you disagree with the opinions expressed on this site. So thank you.

Well said Jack. I see where you are coming from about christians getting defensive. That wasn't really what I was going for. Just thought I'd throw it out there. As a rule I try not to act ridiculously over things like movies, music, etc. that don't line up with my beliefs because after all, it is what it is and picketing isn't going to change that. Besides, anyone that calls themself a christian should know that sort of behavior is absurd and not christian at all, but that is another discussion for another place. Anyway, thanks Jack for the response . I also read the Will Arntz article link you had in there and I enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind seeing What the Bleep. I guess I'll wrap this up and get back on topic by saying I liked the first Narnia movie, and I think I'll enjoy the second one too.

I dont beleive it to be christian popaganda, it was written as a story to express the writers points of veiw about his faith not to convert. Here the film i feel is an more undertoned version of the series of stories.The first i beleive to just have the edge against the Golden Compass with more of a backbone to the storyline.
