Fabulist!

Okay, I know you've probably all seen this, and I'm the last living person on earth who hasn't already watched the trailer. I just felt really strongly about the books when I read them and had some serious objections to some of the casting decisions for this movie, so I put off even watching the trailer until now. And I have to admit, while I still have the objections, you simply cannot go wrong with armored bears and fancy dirigibles. Ever.

I love me some armored bears.

I thought that the books declined in quality as they went; I hope the films don't suffer the same fate.

I adored this book growing up, and to this day it's one of my favorites. I agree that the casting was off - way off in some regards (ahem, Nicole Kidman...) - BUT they couldn't have picked a better Lee Scoresby.

I always wanted to see the London stage show of it with the Polar Bear Puppets and Timothy Dalton - http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/?lid=6102&dspl=images.
