Andrew Adamson

unnecessarily whatever

you could do a cadaver synod like they think like the the dragon coughs up his corpse and then like they put it on trial for all of his crimes all right so our our roland emmerich maturing as a director question does this movie have anyone's career best work so i was looking through like the cast and the crew on this one uh because there's a lot of names like i aren't like people i really know like i don't really know the writers i don't really know so i was kind of looking through those things yep so and i put that i thought it was for the for the one director vicky jensen i thought it was her best work because i looked at what other things she had done and i don't think she ever did anything as good as this but then i thought for andrew adamson i thought because he directed shrek 2 i thought that was a better movie so i ultimately said no for him but So I would say I thought it was her probably best work.

And then of the writers, there's this guy on the list there.

It's Roger S.H. Shulman.

I meant accent.

and he does a Scottish accent and obviously the reason he did it was because it reminded him of his parents when they would read him fairy tales and that sort of made it seem more real and obviously that's one of the most iconic things about Shrek is his accent so he does that and eddie murphy was always meant to be in the movie he's in he's in the original recordings with chris farley as donkey i mean donkey you can't change donkey donkey's gonna be donkey forever and eddie murphy already like had that to a t when he started voicing donkey The movie's directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jensen.

They hop on, and a lot of the great stuff that comes from Shrek came from these guys because they only did the first two, and those are very good movies.

And you don't really hear from Andrew that much anymore, but after Shrek 2, he was focused on the...

The Chronicles of Narnia.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, directed by Andrew Adamson, is a cinematic adaptation of C.S. Lewis's beloved fantasy novel.

Released in 2005, the film invites audiences into the magical world of Narnia, a land discovered by four siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pavenzi, during the tumultuous times of World War II.

The children are sent away from London to the countryside for safety, where they stumble upon a wardrobe that serves as a portal to Narnia.

Henley's portrayal of Lucy captures the wonder and bravery of a child discovering a new world.

Scan Dar Caines as Edmund effectively transitions from a petulant sibling to a redeemed hero, adding depth to his character arc.

The film's director, Andrew Adamson, known for his work on the Shrek series, makes his live-action debut with Narnia.

His experience in animation is evident in the film's vibrant visuals, though some argue that his inexperience in live-action storytelling is apparent in the film's dramatic execution.

We are stepping out of the barn and into the wardrobe.

We are looking at Andrew Adamson's two thousand and five adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, based on C.S. Lewis' seminal nineteen fifty fantasy novel.

To understand the mechanics of this adaptation, we have to look at how the film establishes the real world context before the magic ever happens.

The movie opens not in a fantasy realm, but in the terrifying reality of the London Blitz during World War II.

Right.

The book spends pages on the girls walking with Aslan in the dark and barely a few paragraphs on the actual sword fighting.

But a two thousand and five post Lord of the Rings fantasy film demands spectacle The director, Andrew Adamson, had to externalise those internal struggles into a massive 20-minute cinematic battle sequence on a grassy plain.

He had to invent tactics, armour, and combat beats that Lewis never wrote.
