From Libertas (a conservative Showbiz blog my buddy John Kenneson introduced me to last year):
Though not a big fan of the fantasy genre, the first Narnia earned my eternal goodwill in a single scene. Any film that has Santa Claus handing out weapons to young children is a-okay by me.
Oh yeah – took my daughter to see Prince Caspian on Friday. It was an A+ in my book – especially so the next morning when E.T. was on TV – the stupid “enhanced” version that replaced all of the guns with walkie-talkies.

It’s been a long time since I read the books, so in the books did santa hand out guns?
I saw Prince Caspian. I was really disappointed. I just couldn’t feel sympathy for the characters.
In this case, the book was way better.
Dave,
Come on, you should know that a weapon is a weapon. What makes a sword or a bow/arrows any better or worse than a gun? It’s all in the use of said weapon.
When the first one came out one of the film reviewers in our local rag panned it for making Santa an arms dealer… I traded a few e-mails with him and it was apparent, in this case anyway, what really bothered him was the blatant Gospel metaphor.
