It’s moreso the estate probably shares zero values that Lewis did so they will whore out the ip just as we’ve seen with every estate franchise. I’d assume there’s a lot of spite from the progeny that never measure up to their parents.
I don't think they can screw with it too much. Maybe I'm wrong, but its been my impression that Narnia fans skew heavily toward Christianity. They're not going to tolerate trans Aslan.
I believe the Narnia Code wasn't written when the Disney movies were made. It might be interesting to see what they come up with when they incorporate the planetary themes into the films.
And I just found out a few minutes ago that Netflix is also supposedly making Rendezvous with Rama a thing, involving David Fincher. And quite soon, too, if it's supposed to be released this year.
Anyway, I hope they start with The Magician's Nephew. Sure, it was the last one published, but it's the first chronologically, and explains why the wardrobe, the lamp-post, etc, and also has Aslan flat-out say that Narnia was never intended to have humans in the first place (and kind of knew things would go downhill eventually once they did show up, ha.)
I hate the way they've re-ordered the series to put Magician's Nephew first. There's no reason for it. It's cool going in to the book thinking that you're just getting another Narnia adventure and then discovering that you're actually reading the story of the birth of Narnia itself, and then finally linking it back to the first book.
I can't imagine why they'd rob the reader of that sense of mystery before it even has a chance to develop. It makes no sense.
Why did the CS Lewis estate allow this? I’m sure they will respect the beliefs of Lewis
Money, I assume lots and lots of money.
Yea. I guess it’s easy for me to say I’d stick to principles when nobody is offering me a ton of money.

Lewis would have.

Amazon does not care about source material for LoTR so I fail to see why Netflix would give a shit about fans.
If there is anything I've learned since 2014 is that the industry hates the fans.
Because Hollywood would never do anything to offend Christians...
The Narnia books are completely opposed to the liberal zeitgeist. Netflix is Shift. They will screw it hard.
