The Hays came over for dinner and a movie: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Our couch / TV space is full with our family; the Hays doubled the crowd. Very cozy. Such fun to hear the little boys discussing the story on their own level. (Connor: "Are they preparing for battle?") (Logan: "You might want to close your eyes for this part.") Good times.
Bri loudly bemoaned every infraction as the movie-makers took liberties and wandered from the book. Ha. I seem to remember the bulk of the story being about Eustace's struggle and transformation, but movies are visual, so... We'll have to re-read the story soon for a thorough analysis.

I haven't seen this one. Is it good?
@Rabbits_Nest - As with all the new Narnia movies, I think it was a wonderful visual companion to the books. I'm partial to the stories via the books -- but I like words... and much of the charm of the stories is in the narrative.
