Giveaway: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian DVD!
By Great White Snark | December 1, 2008
I can be pretty forgiving of an otherwise “meh” movie when it offers either (a) naked ladies or (b) epic CGI battles featuring sword-wielding centaurs.
(Although naked lady centaurs don’t do much for me. For whatever reason.)
So, I managed to enjoy The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian in spite of its lackluster storytelling. (And, no… there were no naked ladies, if that’s what you were wondering. Perv.)
To sign up to win a copy of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian on DVD courtesy of Disney Home Video:
- If you haven’t already, get an e-mail subscription to Great White Snark. It won’t cost you nuthin’.
- Leave a comment on this post. In the “Mail (will not be published)” field, enter the same e-mail address of your subscription, so I know who you are.
- In the comment, name your favorite talking animal from a movie. (Imaginary animals like that giant, furry worm from The Neverending Story totally count.)
I’ll select the winners at random and announce them in an update to this post next Tuesday, December 9.
UPDATE: Ask Alyssa if you can watch her brand, spankin’ new copy of the Narnia DVD. Do it.
One entry per person. And remember, cheaters never prosper, because I’ve got your IP address, people: duplicate entries are dopey entries. Winners outside the forty-eight contiguous U.S. states pay shipping. Because this ain’t a money tree, it’s just a plain ol’ blog.

Does Howard the Duck count? It doesn’t get any better than that.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:42 am
Dom DeLuise as Jeremy the crow in “The Secret of NIMH” is my absolute favorite talking animal in a movie EVER.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:43 am
It would have to be Brain Gremlin from Gremlins 2. The snooty attitude and sarcastic wit are perfect. :)
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:48 am
I’ll do you one better: I’ll name a favourite talking animal from the Narnia world/movie! I love Reepicheep the mouse. He’s so blustery and brave, despite being a small mouse.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:48 am
I realize it’s totally dorky, but I always loved that little talking alien, Max from Flight of the Navigator!
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:53 am
Talking animals in books are so much better. Reepicheep or Mr. Beaver, or Trufflehunter the badger in the Narnia books are great. In the movies, not so much. For movies, Michael J. Fox as Chance in Homeward Bound made me weep.

The penguin from Fight Club. So cute and adorable and when he says ‘Slide’…well, it makes me want to just develop a split personality and go punch people.
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:01 am
Wow, favorite talking animal? Hm, Sean Hayes providing the voice of Mr. Tinkles in Cats and Dogs. Brilliant, evil.
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:05 am
It’s a toss up for me between Hammy from Over the Hedge and Morla the gigantic sneezing turtle from Neverending Story. If squeaking fuzzballs count, I’d totally throw my vote in for Tribbles too.
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:16 am
i think i have to say elmo, since he currently occupies all space and time in my home currently. what is up with the magic gravitational pull he has on the toddler set? blug.
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:34 am
is everyone forgetting Michael J. Fox voicing Chance in Homeward Bound? AWESOME! if the Michael j. Fox can “travel” in a delorean, turn into a wolf, and get to hop on the Heather Locklear bandwangon, then he should definately be the winning answer to just about any question.
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:38 am
Scar from The Lion King – who doesn’t love a scary villain who happens to be a TALKING LION? (Voiced by Jeremy Irons, no less!)
December 2nd, 2008 at 10:37 am
Kermit D. Frog. When he sings the Rainbow Connection it makes me all mushy on my insides.
December 2nd, 2008 at 11:01 am
The worm from Labyrinth! I love his accent and little scarf. Jim Henson + Brian Froud = Genius!
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:27 pm
I really love Totoro, though he really groans more than he talks. Um… I’ve always wanted to ride Falcor. And I always thought it would be really fun if Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House lived with me. He looks so cuddly.
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:21 pm
From Caspian I love Reepicheep! You can’t go wrong with an uppity knight of a mouse! I also am a big fan of Donkey from Shrek!
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Francis the talking mule movies were always my favorites.
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Not actually “talking” per se, but clearly communicating in an anthropomorphized way: The Gopher in Caddy Shack.
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Does Peter Pevensie count? Because technically, humans are animals, and he definitely talks. Or does a Faun count? Because I also like Mr. Tumnus. But, if we’re going to go for an that’s not human-like, I’d have to say Mr. Beaver.
December 2nd, 2008 at 3:02 pm
That’s a hard one! I’ll go with the penguins in Madagascar…gotta love evil birds.
December 2nd, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Babe, from the movie of the same name.
“That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.”
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Man it’s a tough choice. I loved the evil Skeksis from The Dark Crystal but I don’t know if they would be considered an animal.
Aslan is so perfect, he’s definitely a top fav. I literally read all the Narnia books until they fell apart when I was younger & had to buy them all over again. I’m on my third set.
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Dori from Finding Nemo.
She’s hilarious and wonderful and I’ve always wanted a talking fish.
December 2nd, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Fievel from An American Tail! He’s so cute and that was one of my favorite movies when I was a little.
But, I’m just curious, does Baxter from Anchorman count? The bears and Ron Burgundy understand him!
December 2nd, 2008 at 7:31 pm
I gotta go with Puss In Boots from the Shrek movies. “Pray for mercy from Puss… in boots.”
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:57 pm
My favorite talking animal has to be Baloo from my favorite book and movie,the Jungle Book.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:44 am
Psh. Ludo from Labyrinth. Hands down!
“Smmeeelll….baaaaaddddd!”
Does Widget from “Caravan of Courage” count? The little ewok? He kinda talks. If he counts, he wins over Ludo for me.
December 3rd, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Sorry I am still stuck on the “giant, furry worm from The Neverending Story,” are you referring to the luck dragon? I am going to go with Rikki-Tikki-Tavi for my pick today, he is fierce.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Donkey!!! From Shrek of course.
I can’t believe no one already picked him.
“and in the mornin’, I’m makin’ waffles!!…”
Alex
December 3rd, 2008 at 10:49 pm
I like Shrek.
December 4th, 2008 at 8:38 am
The Hugga Bunch. Hands down.
December 4th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Michael J. Fox as Chance from Homeward Bound.
December 5th, 2008 at 9:56 am
Miss Piggy, I’m assuming Muppets count.
December 5th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
I’d have to say Chicken Little.
December 6th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Pick a favorite talking animal in a movie *ever*? So difficult! I mean, just to start with, you have the brilliance of Kermit T. Frog and Sam the Eagle in “Muppet Treasure Island”. The cute simplicity of the Worm in “Labyrinth”. And from “Prince Caspian” itself… Reepicheep, who is made awesome because really, with Eddie Izzard as his voice, what else could he be? I think I’ll have to go with the delightful Pip in “Enchanted”, because it doesn’t get much better than his charades as he tries to tell the Prince about the poisoned apples.
December 7th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
That would easily be Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now. But, if beached whales don’t count, I’m going to have to go with Animal from any of the Muppet movies. He didn’t so much talk, but his screams had passion…
December 8th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Donkey in Shrek! “…you definitely need some Tic Tacs or something ’cause your breath STINKS!”
December 9th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Yes, Anchorman counts, Alyssa. Oh, yes… it does. You winner, you.
