After all, why on earth do the Pevensies go back to Narnia when Caspian blows the stupid horn? Did no one think to blow the horn before? And why doesn't Aslan himself just go and help straightaway - given that that's what he ends up doing after dozens of people have died pointlessly? I know in the book he's "not a tame lion", but one would like to think he's not a psychopath either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450344280949194866.post-26879346511444162602008-07-03T11:01:00.000+01:002008-07-03T11:01:00.000+01:00You say you liked the 1970s version you remember w...You say you liked the 1970s version you remember watching as a small boy in your Grandmother's bedroom.
