Was it really good? I don't dare revisit it because I don't want to ruin my childhood impression of it

I haven't seen it in ages but my impression is it was quite good and Dr Who was a fine Puddleglum

I don't care if the Avatar films solve the grand unification theories presented by Stephen Hawking.

I need to tend to my mind with outer space sound effects.

The BBC did a very good adaptation in the 80s/90s though the production values were minimal to say the least

Heard about it, but since I'm not a kid anymore, I bet it would be unwatchable for me now... 😁

I'm patiently waiting for Netflix to blow my mind once the new show (and movies!?) come out.

It's a shame this has to be in the franchise wars thread. 

 

Someone make a thread.

There's tons of great fantasy material that could have been or could still be adapted.

 

Narnia was certainly worthy of better but stuff like Eragon was junk to begin with while a fine book series like Susan Coopers The Dark Is Rising was turned into garbage to jump on the fantasy bandwagon and LeGuin's great Earthsea was murdered on TV. 

 

A shame.  There so much great material out there from LeGuin, McKillip, Gavriel Kay, Pratchett, Miéville, Williams, Zelazny et al

 

 

The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin is my favorite book ever.  I make a point to read it once a year.

I'm guessing Into the Spider-Verse will add in Memory of Stan Lee. I imagine we'll see Stan's cameos until at least Avengers 4 but I wouldn't be surprised if he already shot his cameos for Dark Phoenix and perhaps Far from Home

A wild challenger appears...

listen it's great that you guys think it's an unfair advantage to have Detective Pikachu in the title and you want to give smaller franchises like Marvel and Star Wars a chance, but...why is Detective Pikachu not in the thread title?

Yeah Pokemon is only an  85 billion franchise.

 

So small right?

[LaughingEvans]

They better have the squirtle gang show up or I'm gonna see the movie only 5 times

[AndyK]

I don't understand how danger mouse didn't become a $100bn franchise.

 

Baffling !

Strap yourselves in for the final and definitive era of James 'Iron Jim' Cameron.

Game and Toy Franchises have had considerably difficulty transferring their success to the movies, Pleny of example out there.

Let's just be happy the fantasy bubble burst quickly, because Lotr was the only decent hollywood trilogy we got out of it.

 

HP is cookie cutter, Narnia and Eragon were more of the same, and the Hobbit was more of a lotr spoof

Hell, the best Fantasy film we have had since LOTR was "Pan's Labyrinth".
