The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe earned three Oscar nominations and won for Best Makeup. Some of the novelty had faded for the second Narnian adventure and the Academy overlooked Prince Caspian. If the trailer for The Voyage of the Dawn Trader seems to have a cleaner more coherent visual scheme than the first two installments, maybe some credit goes to 2-time Oscar nominee Dante Spinotti. The Narnia films have shown an impeccable sense of craft, and I’m happy to sacrifice a little wow factor for tasteful restraint. Tilda Swinton’s return as the White Witch is all the wow I need.
