The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian takes place after only a year of the second World War in Britain after the four Pevensie siblings first foray into the land of Narnia but in Narnia itself 1300 years has past and not in a good way for the former non human inhabitants. Human called Telmarines are now the tyrannical rulers and Narnians have been driven underground. King Miraz is the Telmarine ruler who muscled his way onto the thrown by murdering King Caspian IX. When Miraz has a son he plots to murder Prince Caspian who is the true heir but he escapes death only to be taken prisoner by Narnians – but not before he mistakenly summonses Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy back to Narnia. As they search for Athlan the lion who is the true leader of Narnia they and the creatures of Narnia join forces with Caspian to try to defeat the evil Miraz and his insurmountable army. The first Disney instalment (the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe) of the CS Lewis classics was an Oscar winning money maker. Although Prince Caspian features some fine performances but didn’t seem as engaging as its predecessor and with a story geared towards an older audience the mythical creatures of Narnia may not be as endearing to this movies intended audience.
