Netflix Ruining Narnia Series

Netflix’s Female-Voiced, Redesigned Aslan and the Erosion of Narnia’s Soul

For me, and for us who grew up reading C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books, we know the background of what the books were always meant to be about. C.S. Lewis was a Christian who shared about God and Jesus with children through his books. For example, in the book “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” the character Aslan represents Jesus. Even in the “Prince Caspian” books, Aslan tells Lucy and the others, towards the end, that they must discover him by his other name in their world, hinting that he is known as Jesus Christ in the normal world. The world of Narnia is a magical world on a different timeline than the normal world, meant to help guide children and others to understand, learn, and know good versus evil and who Jesus (in Narnia, known as Aslan) is.

When the movies (there are three) came out, starting in 2005, they were a big hit, allowing not just kids but their families to enjoy the story visually as they watched what the kids went through. It stayed true to the books in the characters and in what the story was about. Liam Neeson even voiced Aslan, which worked wonderfully. The same cannot be said for the Netflix version that is to come out.

Netflix is getting a ton of unhappy comments, and more, for their version of Narnia in a movie series coming out. For one, they just announced that Meryl Streep will voice Aslan. Now I will say I am a fan of many of the things Meryl Streep has…
