Kifed this link from Tiercel, who had it posted awhile back but I'd never followed it...damn, I should've. You want Narnia? You want Disney doing Narnia? Here's your response, babe.

Cripes, they're doing a live-action version of Charlotte's Web...with Julia Roberts as Charlotte? Yegawdz.

Actually, The Magician's Nephew is the first in the Narnia series - it's where a boy and a girl fall into a completely empty universe and witness its birth. Actually, it was a whole lot of worlds, where the nexus between them was a flat plain with pools of water, each pool being the enterance to a different world. They also saw a world die, I think..... I remember it had an old sun, or something.

The kids actually bring the lamppost and/or the Witch into Narnia in the first place, I think. Which is probably why they didn't choose to adapt the first one. Well, that and it probably has a slower pace/more settings than the second.

It was one of the series that really, really stuck with me - I haven't read it in years and years. Especially liked the bit in Voyage of the Dawn Treader where the one boy, err.... spoiler for future movies?

Never read the other two books you mentioned either. Alice in Wonderland always give me the heebie jeebies anyhow >_o;;; I went from Enid Blyton to (whoever wrote)Nancy Drew to Anne McCaffrey and Terry Prattchet and Tanya Huff and never looked back *g* Though now my bookworm tendencies have to share space with my anime addiction.
