Okay, so who saw "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" this weekend???
The kids' 40s costumes looked good to me. The king and queen costumes at the end -- blech. There was a lot of great armour, and some really beautiful tents. Susan's first Narnia dress was particularly nice, the other kids' clothes passable. But what the heck was the White Witch wearing at the beginning? Some sort of prom dress gone bad, and I don't even know how to DESCRIBE what was going on with the shoulders. She eventually changed clothes, thank goodness. This is not a costume snob's description, either -- my 11-year-old daughter could not stop talking about how ugly it was. Plus she had dreadlocks, which look a bit weird on a blonde Englishwoman. I guess she turned all her hairdressers to stone. We enjoyed the movie immensely, despite quibbles about costume and other things. It was a lot of fun, very enjoyable.
