Narnia

We saw Narnia yesterday afternoon. I expected to be disappointed, I had read the books a number of times growing up and from what I saw in the previews it was NOT what my imagination had created. But I was pleasantly surprised, it was very good.
I thought that the Unicorn Peter rode in battle was the same horse that played Shadowfax in Lord of the Rings. After much snooping online I found out that Shadowfax was played by two horses, the main horse;16 year old Andalusian: Demero, he was used for all the key shots. The galloping shots were of a 12 year Thoroughbred cross: Blanco. Unfortunately Demero died shortly after filming, July 2003, from stomach cancer. I could find nothing on Blanco. As for the Unicorn, he's George. Doesn't sound like George had a great start to life but he sure has bloomed. Check out his story here.
