Free subway fare part of Narnia promotion

BURBANK, Calif., Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Disney says it will offer free subway rides to straphangers across the United States to celebrate the DVD and Blu-Ray release of "Prince Caspian."

The second installment of "The Chronicles of Narnia" franchise is to be released in those formats Dec. 2.

"Much like in the film when the Pevensie kids are transported to the magical land of Narnia while waiting for the subway, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment hopes to spread a little of that same magic in the subway as commuters are transported to their destinations the morning of Dec. 2," the company said in a news release. "During the morning hours (approximately 7 a.m.-9 a.m., though it may vary by market) in each participating market, commuters who enter a designated subway terminal on Dec. 2 in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco may have the opportunity to ride for free. Commuters need only to look for signage and street teams to receive their free ticket."
